of the United States Steel Corporation
in cutting prices. combined with the
action Of the independent steel manufac-
turers in refusing overtuTes TO enter
into working agreement, will be met
in Europe by efforts to line up the Eng
lish and continental mills to prepare for
a struggle with the trust.
This latest move Of the billion dollar
concern has aroused tremendous an
tagpnIsm on this side Of the Atlantic
The head OF one Of the largest mills

has communicated with a, large number
of Independent steel makers, who have
expressed their willingness to work IN
unity with the object of demonstra ting
that the trust cannot dictate prices in
the market which are supplied from
Europe
it is believed here that the trusts
move is a direct sequel to the failure
of its exporting department. several
months ago to whip the European mills
into line. At that time a representa-
tive of the United States Steel Corpora

manufacturers and made OVeTruT- s

The trusts latest move is looked upon
here as the first gun in u life and death
