STEEL RESISTS
PRICE FIXING
Government Must Break Many
Contracts to Set Rates,
Davies Testifies.

WAsHINGroN. Sept. 2l.-Fixing the
prices for finished steel products fur
nishes the most complex industrial
problem ever presented to the consider
alton Of a. committee OF Congress- so
Joseph f. Davies Of the Federal Trade
Commission told the subcommittee of
the Senate Committee on Interstate
Commerce having under consideration
the Pomerene bill to Ak iron and steel
prices to-day.
The British Government i'll settling
this problem had to take into considera-
ton more than 100 elements. and their
decision finally resulted in the estab-
lishment of a schedule of more than 100
items Of fixed prices
MIR. Davies spent almost the entire
day answering the questions pro-
pounded to him by Senator Pomerene
of the special committee. If the Gov
ernment has in mind the establishment
Of a fixed rate for steel purchased by
the ton for Government work at any
particularly low figure the first manda-
tory action must be the abrogation Of
many outstanding contracts.
Mr. Davies cited the instance OF the
effort to flx coal prices as indicative Of

told the committee that between 20 and
50 per cent. Of the coal mined in the
United States was contracted for by the
Government and by industrial corpora
tions, leaving less than 25 per cent. for
the public demand. 1t was this situa-
ton which caused the failure of the
promised relief from exorbitant coal
prices to follow the fixing OF the 81 per
ton al the mouth Of the mine price.

Third Flanders Battle Hailed
as Years Big Victory on
West Front

LONDON, Sept 2l.-The waning power
Of the Germans and their inability to
strike back with the force which they
used even a year ago was brought out
strongly in the third battle Of Flanders
yesterday and in the operations to-day
Numerous counter attacks were made,
but they were OF minor character and
without success. This time the Brit
ish have held all their gains and to-day
consolidated their positions, taking a
little more territory here and there to
round out their lines. This is In marked
contrast to even the first and second
battles of Flanders.
The British operations are hailed here
and also at the front as the greatest VIC
tory of the year, not excluding that at
Messines ridge. when the British blew
up the dominating hill which had been
held by the Germans for two years
II Is expected that stiff counter at
tacks will develop tomorrow or next
day, but the fact that there was none Of
any Importance to-day Is most signifi-
cant. Berlin admits that the British
advanced at times" yesterday more
than two-thirds of a mile" but asserts
that in the northern part of the line,
where the attack was delivered, west or
Passchendaele, the British were forced
back. All the villages in the fighting
zone are declared to be in posssion OF
the Germans.
The German War Office asserts that at
least nine British divisions tabout l50,-
600 men) took part in the attack. in =

supported by arnored cars and flame

The number of German prisoners
