Senate approves defense bills to boost steel for ordnance
Senate passes two Coast Defenses committee bills funding steel manufacture for army and navy ordnance. Each bill allows 3 million dollars over six years, with 5 million more for fortifications. War and Navy Secretaries may contract with US steel makers to supply rough bored and tempered steel and armor shafting up to 10 000 tons per class. Army and Naval gun factories are authorized at Watervliet Arsenal and Washington Navy Yard respectively. House bills also push harbor protection and steel ram construction, plus fisheries enforcement provisions against foreign vessels with penalties and liens.
