to secure the adoption of an amend
 ment which would have prevented the
 manufacture ir tke Sheffield plants,
 following the war, of fertilizer. At
 taa- tiiuc he said:
 with or without my amendment
 these plants solar as the actual needs
 of the government are concerned will
 be SD much Junk after the war is over.
 Without my amendment they will be
 of infinite value to this private cor
 poration tc make fertilizer. and thar Is
 the reason why they dc not want this
 amendment aiooted.
 RepresentatIve Alinoa in respect to
 the business arr lai-airent between the
 go yer:,neft s,pd the air nitrate cor pore Ger has this to say:
 When the President decided to build these plants it was necessary to select
 process or processes for making ni- trates One selected for the snall plant
 was the synthetic process of the Gem
 eral Chemical oorpany, and the other
 the large plant-the eyanamide
 process of the American Cayanamid
 company, which owns the patent and
 exclusive right to make nitrates by
 the cyanamide process So the gov ernment made a contract with that
 company by which that process could
 be used. I have never seer the con tract, but we have the right to pre-
 sume the representatives Of the gov ernmea- who took part in the making of the contract protected the interest of the government and made the best contract that could be secured under the circumstances. l understand that plant No. is being constructed by the air nitrates col poraticn, an organiza- ton without carital stock. but financed by the government and officered by ex- perts of the American CyaHamid com pany. This arrangement has been per- fectcd with view oi eliminating of ficial red tape and e.xpe diting the build ing of this plant. The Westinghouse, | Church, Kerr Co. Of New York has the main contract doing the work under the direction Of the air nitrates cor poration The, {. C.. White Engineer | ing corporation is building a steam plant that rsil1 furnish 60,000 horse power, while the Alabama Power com pany will transmit 4p,o00 horse power from it's auxiliary steam plant on the CooSa river thus insurirg 100, 900 horse power for the opeiaticn of nitrate plant No. until pow CT dam No. 2 has been completed.
 | s.These plants can be used for mak- ing fertilizers during the war If the full output is not neeaed for muni- tions of war. After the war we hope and expect that trey can be used all | most exclusively fer the manufacture
 of fertilizer for the benefit of the fa-m- CTS Of this country, and render them l independent of the Chilean nitrate trust. which has robbed the farmers of this nation for almost a half century, as we'll as our government when pur-
 chasing explosives"

Washington. April 9.-(Specia)
 The Air Nitrates company nurses a
 scheme to acquire after the war cya-
 namid and synthetic nitrate plants
 which the government at a cost of
 s90,000,000 is constructing in the en-
 virons of Sheffield.
 This is the charge of Representative
 Lcngworth of Ohio.
 In making his charge he gives the
 following insight into the contract which the Air Nitrates company holds with the government:
 'sThe Air Nitrates corporation, which is subsidiary of the American Cya- namid company, is to build the plant. Government money is invested, but they are to build it and supervise 1t, and get for that 3 Is per cent on all costs. not to exceed s1, 1000, GOO. On $45,- 0o0,000 8 1-3 per cent will. of course, be at least $1,oOO.Ooo. Then they are to get onequarter of cent per pound on the ammonium nitrate produced in the plant. Then comes in the American Cyanamid company, which owns the patents and the machinery, and it gets 6 mills per pound of nitrogen fixed as lime nitrogen. I am informed by the war department that this will amount to something over s1,250,000 a year for each plant. They do not in- vest a cent, and they do not take a ! particle of risk. They are the ones wko are interested in this proposition. | The United States government does not ! want to manufacture fertilizer. I asked | the Secretary of War what it was pro- l the development of the water pow CT
 at Muscle Shoals. and he said-l | quote:
 l When this power becomes avail- able it will be used for nitrogen fixa- l tion or for any other war need which 1 to the government may seem more ur- | gent
 l .In response to a further request for l information as to just what was meant 1 by the term any other war need to | be produced at Muscle Shoals he men, l tioned the following: 'Ferrosilicon, fer /, rochrome. phosphorus. silicon, chlorine | products and electrodes There was nc suggestion of fertilizer. The whole l proposition is this, gentlemen, In a nutshell: The Air Nitrates company wanted to get the plant -free--bot tn 1 these plants-after the government in vested some s90,00O,000 or ss5,0o0,OoO | in them.''
