war trade friges too low to suit ru:.:ely comiy
With regard to the negotiations by the m. Rumely company with the Bethlehem Steel corporation for the manufacture of munitions of war, the statement is made by one - familiar with affairs of the former company that, while that organization is desirous of obtaining some of the so-called war trade, the prices quoted by the Bethlehem corporation on such business as it might sublet to the Rumely company were considered too low to prove attractive. While it is known that the Bethlehem company accepted the large volume or orders now on its books on a highly remunerative basis, it was suggested that much of the "cream" of the transaction was removed at the prices offered to the Rumely company. If more profitable prices were offered to the Rumely company, it is considered likely that It would utilise two of its
plants for the purposes outlined above. Reports are current that P., P. Mount, receiver for the Rumely company, will be named president of the company when the reorganization is completed. MAKES USE OF ACT. .
