eminent war contracts with the standard

allowed the company S1,S32,654 more
than 1t is entitled to was made before
the House War Department Expendi-
lures Committee to-day by l.. ]. Blakey,
Government cost accountant. During
the war Mr. Blakey was Government
accountant in the car company's plant.
Evidence was also presented by Mr..
Blakey purporting to show that Col. Ey-
erett S. Hughes. ordnance officer, who
negotiated the contract and its settle
ment. withheld from the board Mr.. Blak-
ey's audit of the company's war work,
which shows the Government should
have paid the company $1,167,346, In
stead Of 100000, as has been done. In
addition he claimed that the company
all during the war misrepresented It's
production costs.
THE Standard Steel Car Company"
he said, received a procurement order
for the manufacture of gun carriages
for 91s inch howitzers, none Of which
1t completed before the armistice, but
200 Of which were completed after the
armistice, at total cost to the Gov
eminent of $4,000 each, although they
cost to build less than $4,000 EACH
The company withheld records 50 that
the Government accountants were unable
to obtain all the figures with exactness.
1.-THE War Department also permitted
the company to keep material which had
cost the Government 100000 and
which is needed and could be used by
the WATERFOWL Arsenal. for which the
company allowed the Government only
500, 000."
