6 PRICE FIXING UNDER FIR E Defense Council Member Makes 1,000,000 Canteens Without Order ■Washington, June IS. —lnvestiga tion is in progress as to the propriety of Arthur V. Davis, of Pittsburgh, president of the Aluminum Company of America, remaining in a subcom mittee of the Advisory Board of the Council of National Defense, which •übcommittee passes upon the prices of all aluminum contracts let by the Government. As the result of his testimony be fore the Hcuse committee on foreign affairs last week, upon the bill to grant more water power from the Ni agara river, there is a move on to force an investigation into his connec tion with the Advisory Board. This is only one aspect of the con dition prevailing in the Government. Businessmen are up in arms against the attitude of the board in forcing down copper prices and in taking the coal men by the throat. A member of Congress declares he is about to ask for an investigation of Davis' ac tivities and at the same time will in clude those of Mr. Baruch and ask for a report on the conferences Mr. Peabody and the coal men had. Davis testified that company is the only concern in this country that •melts aluminum and that its produc tion is one-half of the world's sup ply. He said that some of its sub sidiary corporations now are engaged in the manuiacture of 1,000.000 can teens for the army, although no con tract for the work has been let. A price of seventy-four cents each for the bare canteen was agreed upon with army officials and In the hope and' belief that an order would be forthcoming In proper form, his com pany is now turning out the work. The Government is now on the mar ket for 4.000,000 aluminum tent pegs, he said, but his company refused to bid for them, although the Aluminum Company of America expects to fur nish the crude aluminum from which they are to be made. Davis savs the present price of crude aluminum is thirty-seven cents a pound, but that his company has offered to meet the Government's requirements for this product at twenty-seven and a half cents a pound, which price was arriv ed at by taking the average for the last ten years and adding two cents a pound.

The Gpvernor sent a letter saying there was no evidence of frauds and the House passed the bill, 180 to t. There was no debate on the proposition. The Governor's letter was as fol lows: "On June 7, 1917, I returned to your honorable body without my approval House Bill No. 1288, entitled "An Act to reimburse certain counties for re wards and bounties heretofore paid by such counties in good faith for the destruction of noxious • animals and birds and directing the Auditor Gen eral to draw his warrant for the pay ment of the same.' "I made my veto in all good con science, basing it upon definite and, so I believed, dependable data sub mitted to me by informed officials. Since that time In full conference ana upon searching Inquiry I am led to believe that the charges of fraud and deception in these cases have been greatly overstated, that ther is really no evidence now of such frauds, that the counties concerned are really en titled to reimbursement in the absence of proven fraud, and that the bill was passed in all good faith by conscien tious men who desire only to do Justly by Commonwealth and county. "Under these circumstances ltis but proper that I lay these facts before you and request you. If you are like minded with me, to pass this bill. No. 1288, over the veto of the Executive."
