OF electrolytic manganese for pres
ent and anticipated needs.
Plant Held Unnecessary.
This comment came last night
from an informed source at WPB:
There was never any Justification
Tor the plant. We are getting all
the electrolytic manganese we need
from a commercial plant in Ten
nessee. This type of manganese is
not needed for ordinary purposes.
Silicon-made manganese will do Just
as well. You could use the electro
lytic type for steel and other things
certainly. You could use diamonds
for marbles, too"
In his letter to the production
chief, Mr.. Ickes declared 1t was the
practice Of the WPB Manganese and
Chromium Branch to refer such an
application to committee made up
OF men from the industry, possible
competitors Of the applicant. And
Mr.. Ickes asked that this not be
done In the present case, especially
since the producer was prepared to
turn out manganese at one third the
prevailing price for manganese de-
veloped by other processes.
MIR. Ickes also remarked in his
letter that every time any one con-
nected with the war effort asked
WPB why more electrolytic manga
nese could not be produced, he was
told 1t was impossible to obtain
more.
Congress Takes Interest.
Several Senators and House Mem
bers, 1t was learned, have been told
of the controversy and have made
inquiries Of Mr.. Nelson. But there
has been no change in the situation
The petitioning manufacturer, how
ever, still is in Washington hoping
to obtain sanction for his plant.
He has been here six months trying
to put over his project. the WIPE
source said.
A metallurgist estimated the pres
ent output OF electrolytic manganese
at 1000 tons a year. The only
plants producing the substance by
this process are the one started and
maintained by the Bureau of Mines
at Boulder Dam and the private
project in Tennessee. The Tennes-
see enterprise is building an addi-
tional plant. The rejected produce,
plans to turn out 1000 tons a year.
There is no shortage of manga.
nese at present, this same authority
said-in fact, there probably is Q
supply sufficient for a year and .
half. But, he pointed out, in the
past 80 per cent of the manganese
has been imported-high- grade ore
brought from India and other dis.
tant lands. The annual require
ments are estimated at 1900 0,00C
tons. The present stock pile was OBJ.

lash Of the slavemasters. The rights
Of free labor and free men have
vanished In the conquered lands.
They are threatened and besieged
everywhere.
This is indeed labor's grave hour,
as 1t is the grave hour Of the farmer.
the industrialist, the teacher and
preacher, the aproned housewife, the
smallest child in the cradle. All
these are the beneficiaries and heirs
Of the democratic system. and 1t is
democracy itself that the evil men
Of West and East hate and seek
to destroy.
Right Arm Is Strong.
Happily. our good right arm is
strong and growing stronger. In
our own country, in the countries
Of our brother allies, the people
who live by the sweat of their brows
have risen nightly to the challenge
OF the struggle. They have given
their sons to the military services.
They have stocked the furnaces and
hurried the factory wheels. They
have made the planes and welded
the tanks. riveted the ships and
rolled the shells. Production of war
materials here is now the greatest
in our history. but it is not yet
enough. 1t will be greater still.
This is an appropriate occasion
to express my appreciation to the
working people Of the United States
for the energy and devotion with
which they have met the demands
OF the present crisis. They know
what 1t Is to work until muscles
ache. They know what it means to
be weary when the whistle blows at
the end of the shift.
They know, too. that democracy
has made labor's advances possible.
They know just what stake they
have in America, just what they
are lighting for. There are certain
to be stormy days ahead. Laborers,

be sold at $3.50 or less ton, while
silicon-made manganese processed
from high-erade ore, sells at $720
to $500 q ton.
Each ton of this manganese. 1t
was asserted, would require strategic
material valued at only few dol
lars. The Bureau Of Mines, backing
up the producers claims, reported
that he had most Of the critical
products necessary for the plant al
ready assembled. adding that the
transportation problem was negli-
gible and ample low-grade ore was
comparatively close at hand. Barges
could be used to q large extent to
haul 1t to the factory, 1t was learned
elsewhere.
Mr.. Ickes cited these findings In
his letter.
Manganese Is used extensively to
harden steel and iron. Electrolytic

was reported to have been pungent.
