Navy Will Exercise
War Legislation to
Secure Ship Steel

Washington, May 14.-The Navy
department has decided to exercise
its authority under war emergency
legislation and requisition steel for
battleship construction. The price
to be paid will be fixed later, on a
basis of market conditions and quo
tations rather than on an examina-
ton of the steel makers books.
This course was determined upon
at 4 conference today between Act.
ing Secretary Roosevelt and officials
of the department at which bids sub.
mitted yesterday for $4,000 tons Of
structured steel were considered
The bids virtually were duplicates
OF those previously submitted, which
were rejected as. showing that there
had been no open competition.
The fact that two of the four bat
tleships for which the steel is need
ed are authorized under provision
that actual construction work mus,
start prior to July l, 1919, prompted
the department to resort to emer-
gency powers to obtain the neces-
sary steel.
No decision had been reached as
to what companies will be called
upon to deliver the steel.
