VIII BE Asked to Decide Schedule of
Prices, Not Only for Steel but for Steel
Products, Iron Ore, Pig Iron and

Washington, June 22.-The federal
trade commission viii be asked soon
by President Denman of the emergen
cy fleet corporation to fix a uniform
price for steel and steel products for
all industries throughout the country.
The commission viii be asked to name
a fair price which win afford the pro.

but on pig iron, iron ore and every
other material going into the manu-
facture of steel.
The method Of procedure will be
for the commission to suggest to all
iron and steel manufacturers and ore
producers that they unite and name a
price themselves. subject to the com.
MISSIONS approval. Should they de-
cline TO adopt this course, the govern,
ment has power to commander the
plants.

brought about by the natural law Of
supply and demand, as the govern.
ment's requirements when filled would
leave an inadequate supply for other
industries.
The plan has been brought Informal.
ly to the attention Of the commission
and Of the iron and steel producers
and the commission is in a position to
act upon the request within a compar.
atively short time.
To Safeguard Agriculture.
The present program calls for the
fixing Of prices OF all grades and kinds
OF steel and iron, including structural
steel, steel plates. steel rails and pig
iron. both foundry and basic. II Is
pointed out that iron and steel for use
In the manufacture Of narvesters and
other agricultural implements Is nee.
essary for the national defense TO a
degree secondary only TO the need for
steel in constructing the proposed mer-
chant feet.
The commission also might find II
necessary to fix the price Of manganese.

into the manufacture OF pig iron which
in turn enter into the manufacture OF
steel.
Mr.. Denman has definite ideas as 10
the price to be set on all the various
materials. but declined today to state

Coal Supply May BE Cut
Regarding the pending negotiations

ration of $4,000 tons of grain monthly
from the United States. They declared
there were practically no stocks in the
country and that at the present rate of
consumption the new crop would last
only two months. The bread ration
soon would be drastically reduced If
the food situation did not improve.
