Telegram from the Midvale Steele Company to Theodore Roosevelt
Midvale Steel Company addresses President Roosevelt sending him a message regarding shipbuilding companies nabbing armor-plate contracts. Midvale Steel Company President Harrah discusses the challenges of bidding for contracts such as vying against certain competitors for contracts. Harrah suggests that it would be beneficial for Midvale Steel Company to win the armor-plate contracts since the company is cost effective, does fair bidding, offers timely deliveries, and has a record of reliability.

Armor trust defeats rivals
Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte has directed that the contract to provide armor plate for two newly constructed battleships be split between the Midvale Company and the “so-called trust companies, namely, the Carnegie and the Bethlehem Companies.” Bonaparte issued a statement clarifying how he came to this decision, specifying that legislation obliges him to choose the cheapest bidders, and that he believes the armor will be most rapidly procured by splitting the contract three ways among the companies.
