The amendment was in the lan- guage of a bill introduced by Hill of Con- necticut and it was stated on the floor that it had the support of all the mem- bers of the Naval Committee. It adopted practically without debate, When the paragraph providing for the inczease of .the navy was reached, Mudd of Maryland, a member of the Naval | Committee, made a point of order against those portions of the paragraph providing | materials used ips authorized | manufacture | étary of the | that the machinery ard in the construction of the in it should be of domest and authorizing the Sec Navy in case of a combin to have the ships comstructed in Govern- | ment yards.

The amend- | ment led to much debate. Cushman de- clared that the only independent ship- building concern in the United States out- side of the trust capable of building a battleship was at Seattle. The amend- ment was ruled out on a point of order. By unanimous consent the provision, which had gone out on a point of order, authorizing the Secretary of the Navy to congtruct the ships in Government yvards in the event of a combination of bidders, was restored. As passed the bill provides for three new battleships and an armored cruiser, two steel training ships and one wooden brig for training purposes, in addition to the submarine boats discretionally. au- thorized.
