FOR STEEL ECONOMIES.
Inspection Party Hopes 10 Arrange fol
Invading Foreign Markets.

Inspection Party Hopes TO Arrange for
Invading Foreign Markets.
Important results are expected from the
trip on which party made up Of officers
and directors Of the United States Steel
Corporation is to start tomorrow night.
In the party will be President w. E. Corey,
Vice-Presidents Gayley and Dickson, Chair
man Z. H. Gray, and members Of the finance
committee of the corporation. including
George w. Perkins, chairman: H. Fl. Rogers,
H. c. Prick, Norman B. Ream and P. A. b.
Widener.
The party will inspect the steel plants OF
the corporation, with q view to d9vising
means for decreasing the operating ex-
penses. Economies will be introduced
wherever they are possible without detri-
ment to the efficiency of the plants.
1t is also planned to obtain the coopera
ton of the large independent steel and iron
manufacturers in a movement to secure
from the railroads lower freight rates for
finished products. The Steel Corporation
alone turns over 100000 tons of finished
product to the railroads which reach ito
plants. The opinion was expressed yes
terday that with a decrease in operating
expenses the corporation will be in posi-
ton to make a schedule Of prices that will
permit Of profitable invasion of foreign
markets.
The trip of inspection will last perhaps
two weeks, though some Of those who will
start on it tomorrow will not be away for
80 long
