ton for domestic delivery, WINS ad-
Vanced to approximately 800 ton BY
the time the United States entered the
war. although the cost Of producing,
making due allowances for the in
creased cost of labor and material. was
probably not more than $50 per ton to
the largest companies engaged in the
business and which controlled nearly
al the raw material entering into the
manufacture OF steel.
Sarcastic With Steel Companies.
The domestic price of snip plates
says the report, was advanced from
S25 per ton, or less, to as much as $3.50
per ton when it had thrown its lot
with the nations fighting Germany.
The official writing the report sar-
castically cites the fact that the steel
companies took great credit to them
selves for offering their products TO
the United States al prices considera bly,
lower than the extortionate figures
quoted the allies"
He says THAI when the administra-
ton made it clear TO the manufacture
iers that they would not be permitted
TO rob the country in these prices and
constituencies profits in the way they
had been dealing with the allies. the
in the New York stock market came
to a pause and symptoms of infantile
paralysis developed in some of the
war brides and war babies"
Effect of New Laws.
In proof OF the fact. he says that the
United States steel which had ad-
vanced from IS in 1915 TO 1856 SIS on
May 81 last wavered and then began 10
decline. Since the passage by congress
lof legislation giving the president
greater power in the fixing Of prices
says the report. decentralization among
the prohteers has decreased and there
has been marked and proper recess
sion among the industrial corporations
which had been prohting enormously
from the war.
Comparing actual conditions with the
collapse in prices which the calamity
howlers would like to make the public
believe exists" the report cites list
Of industrial plants. including NUM-
tons, listed on the New York stock
exchange. He shows that every one OF
these stocks, at the head of which is
placed United States Steel. is from Is
to more than $50 per cent higher at
present than IN the first three months
of 1915
No Cause for Complaint.
These figures" says the official
| will show that although the country
is now at war the prices which the
leading stocks on the New York ex-
change are now commanding are very
much above the prices of 1915" He
therefore expressed the opinion that
the figures justify the conclusion that
corporations and railroads which ap-
lpeared to be satisfied with the profits
they We're making two years ago have
no cause for complaint now.
He supplements this conclusion with
the statement that the government
should disregard the protests now be-
ing presented by these corporations "a
save the government and its allies
and her people generally from the ex-
! tortions of those who have permitted
and are still permitting their avarice
TO eXtinguish every instinct of patriot
ism"
