CITY TO HAVE HEARING
IN ARMOR PLANT FIGHT
Arguments Will Be Heard by
Daniels and General Board
September 13
Whether or not Philadelphia will he
choien as the site of the proposed Govern
ment armor plant will be decided after a
public hearlnc for representatives of all
cities desirous of tho plant by Josephus
Daniels. Secretary of tho Navy, and the
Navy General Hoard in Washington on
September 13.
It Is expected that Philadelphia will be
represented nt tho mettlnir by a largo num
ber of citizens and by delegations from tho
Chamber of Commerce, tho Board of Trade
and other commercial organizations. How
ard B. French, prcsldenV of tho Chamber of
Commerce, said tho executUo committee of
thnt body would consider plans within the
next few days. Mayor Smith declared he
would do everything posslblo to get the plant
located here.
Mr. French Issued tho following state
ment: The Chamber of Commerce Is abso
lutely opposed to tho Government going
Into the nrmor plato business ot nny
other manufacturing business. But If It
Is going to make armor plate, we want
tho plant located In Philadelphia and
will exert every effort to get it located
here.
James K. Lennon, president ot Select
Council and secretary of the South Phila
delphia Business Men's Association, one of
the most untiring workers for tho estab
lishment of the armor plant nt the Phila
delphia Navy Yard, said, in part:
Congressman William S. Varo has
gone to great lengths to impress Con
- gress nnd the Navy Department with
the fact that tho local Navy Yard is
the most advisable place In the country
to locate tho armor plant.
Jt Is unfortunate nnd outrageous that
Senator Penrose nnd other Philadel
phia representatives at Washington are
oppo3 ng the Idea. It Is a monstrous
spectacle of a city's representatives
representing capital as against their
own city.
Senator Penrose was seen In Washing
ton. Ho sticks to tho belief that no Gov
ernment nrmor plant ever will bo erected.
For this reason he has taken no active pari
In the efforts of Philadelphia to obtain the
plant. He tald yesterday:
From the present bankrupt condition
of the Treasury and the fact that the
price of material Is much higher. 1 can
not see how this Administration Is going
to get the money for such a plnnt. I
believe It would tako them 20 to 25 years
to get such a plant. Ihavo fought this
notion of erecting such a plant from the
start and am Just as much opposed to-It
now. I do not think It ever will be
erected.
"Of course, I am In favor of doing every
thing to bring an armor plant here," said
Mayor Smith. "The Chamber of Commerce
officials came to me about tho subject, and
I told them to go ahead and push the mat
ter for all It was worth.
"We are doing some things to bring a
plant here," the Mayor continued, "but-I am
not at liberty Just now to say what they
are."
