Council Sets Price of Steel for Government Ships
Washington reports Maj. Geo. Goethals announced the Council of National Defense will fix steel prices for the emergency fleet. The committee on raw materials rejected a proposal for 45% cents a pound for plates and 41 cents for shapes, seeking lower prices. Fleet contracts in Los Angeles call for 4.5 cents plates and 6.5 cents shapes, with a private shipyard paying the difference. Some navy contracts were at 2.9 cents per pound, while private yards quote about 2 cents. Shipping Board members say 2 cents is fair and a steel seller at that price would gain good profits. Humor follows about Leavenworth, a dry town, with a traveler’s snake joke.
