NO CUT IN
STEEL. SAYS GARY.

No reduction of the price of
steel is now contemplated, ac-
cording TO a statement by e.
HI. Gary, chairman of the United
States Steel corporation. Mr..
Gary in New York said yester-
day:
ssFrom all the information mt
hand I do not hesitate to say
that no reductions in the pres
vaiIing prices of steel are con-
tempIated. Certainly that IL
our position. OF course, prices
may be increased or decreased
at any time If there is good
reason. I do not think such q
thing is possible, however,
without due consideration or
without previous information
being given to all concerned,
including customers. The mere
fact that the demand is greater
than the supply, that the ne
cessities OF the purchaser are
great, does not justify an in
crease in price, nor does the
fact that the demand is less than
the supply furnish an argu-
ment for lowering the price.
In neither case would the guam
tfty bought or sold be more or
less. What the manufacturer
and purchasers both as a rule
desire is stability of prices-the
, avoidance of VIOLENT and sud-
, den fluctuations. The steel
, manufacturers are In close and
, friendly intercourse and pro-
, pose to continue these relations.
) They Will not do anything, that
} is contrary to the public well
} fare, but they will not be stam-
peded by irresponsible rumors.
} If the question of reducing or
} increasing prices is raised at.
} any time during the next few
} months, there Will be deliberate
} and orderly consideration"

home Sunday morning from the Ma.

at the National Encampment and says
that although Toledo was one of the
smaller cities in which the National
G. a. r. gatherings have been held
the veterans We're never used better
than by tn hospitable people of that
city.
One of the features of the grand
parade of Wednesday was the pres
ence of 200 ladies, who lined the walks
at certain point in the line of march
and, standing elbow to elbow to elbow
showered the veterans with flowers as
they passed. The girls had gaily dec
GRATED baskets from which they strew-.
ed the flowers and the baskets were
kept replenished by line of men who
stood behind them. The parade with
its $4,000 men in line was three hours
passing this point. but the supply of
flowers did not give out and many
bushels must have been used
The various departments formed on
side streets and fell into line with the
great procession. While they were
forming the men had bouquets pinned
i'll their buttonhOleS and We're treated
to luncheon. They were also given
red, white and blue tin dippers. bear
ing the legend "Toledo, Greeting to
the G.. y. r." as souvenirs of the oc-
casion.
Another interesting feature was the
living flag of 1000 school children who
were placed near the head of the pa
rade. The color groups corresponded
to the field, the stars and the stripes
of the flag and when first one group
and then another would rise and sing
patriotic songs waving little banners
of the same color as the group which
they represented. the effect was that
Of a waving flag. in tho midst of which
