BIT TER
Is Comment of Buyers
on Gut Made in Price
Of Steel
PROMISES ARE BROKEN

Pittsburg, June 1O.-Bitter comment
cropped out in Pittsburg today when
news of the cut in prices by the Unit
ed States Steel corporation at New
York yesterday were made public.
The buying element refuses point
blank to have anything to 40
with the affair claiming that the cor
poration has not kept faith and that
the expected buying movement will not
materialize until the corporation at
least doubles it's cut of yesterday. 1t
is asserted that the corporation on
being shown the real state of affairs
so far as the buying market was con-
Cerned agreed to make the reductions
which the buying element had shown
1t required in order to place orders
and that this requested cut was Just
double that which was announced
yesterday. Instead of an average of
81 per ton on finished products as was
announced as 81 per ton had been de-
manded and was promised, it is claim
ed. The big fight had been made on
steel billets, a $24 rate having been
asked but instead of this the corpor-
alton reduced from $28 to $25, yet
the buying element is able to show
that for some weeks independent
makers of steel billets have been SELL
ing at $24 and have been getting the
business too.
The New York State Steel company
at Buffalo, two weeks ago put 5000
tons of steel billets on the market
at $24, thus defying the corporation
and other small makers of billets to
follow suit. About 1000 tons of the
Buffalo offer was snapped up at once
and a Pittsburg concern took an op-
tion on the remaining 2O0O tons until
after the corporation should have an
nounced its cut. Though there is a
freight rate Of $3.50 per ton, between
Buffalo and Pittsburg, it is under
stood that the local firm today closed
for this Buffalo iron, it being claim
ed that the corporation failed to
make good it's promise to reduce bill
lets to $24 per ton. The same feeling
holds along other lines where the al
legged cuts were made, it being con-
tended by Pittsburg buyers that it
was not a cut at all but a 'feeler"
and the assertion is heard that there
will be no buying movement until the
corporation once more cuts its rates.

RAILROADS
Seek Injunction Against
Commerce Commis-
sion in Goal Oar
Distribution
JUDGES HEAR ARGUMENT

Chicago, June 11.-Judges Gross
cup, Kohlsaat and Baker, of the United
States circuit court sat today to hear
arguments in support of motions for
preliminary injunctions sought by the
Chicago & Alton and the Illinois Cen
trail roads to enjoin the inter state
commerce commission from enforcing
its order regulating the distribution
of coal cars to the various mines on
their lines on and after July 1.
On behalf of the Alton it was ar
gued that the enforcement of the
commissions order would prevent it
making any contracts for its coal sup
plies for the coming year, because
the mine owners refused to sign con
tracts containing any such provision
as that which the commission seeks
to have enforced.
On behalf of the Illinois Central it
was pointed out that compliance with
the commissions order would place
it in contempt of court as Judge
Kohlsaat had issued a preliminary in
junction at the instance of a mining
company enjoining it from obeying
the commissions orders.
Interstate Commerce Commissioner
Prouty continued taking testimony
here today in a complaint brought
on behalf of the so-calied milk trust
to prevent the railroads of the west
ern states charging higher freight
rates on shipments of cream than on
milk. On behalf of the roads evil
dence was submitted tending to show
that the pure milk trust was attempt
ing to establish monopoly, and that
the practical result of regulation rates
as the trust desired would be to put
the small creameries out of business.

MONITOR FLORIDA
READY FOR TORPEDO

Norfolk, June 1.-THE monitor
Florida now to be torpedoed in the
interest of naval knowledge was to-
day towed from the Norfolk navy yard
to an anchorage off Sewelrs Point,
midway between here and Old Point,
where the experiment will take place.
The vessel will be anchored in shall
low water near the shore, so that
it might be easily raised should the
torpedo prove more destructive than
anticipated and sink the vessel.
The scar made on the turret of the
Florida by the 12-inch gun experiment
two weeks ago has been carefully con-
cealed behind canvass. The new de-
sign spiral fighting mast erected on
the after deck of the Florida and
against which several shots were also
directed, has been removed.
