Government experts on steel produce
tion costs said after Tearing Of the prices
announced that Handsome profit"
was insured to the large steel producing
corporations Of the United States and
that even the small producers. unless
inefficiently managed. ought to be able
to continue in business without diffi-
Guilty.
The Handsome profits" II was added,
would be mostly absorbed by the ex-
cess profits provisions OF the war reve-
nue. bill so that the big firms enjoying
low production costs would not In the
flnal analysis fare much better than the
little fellows.
There Is confidence In Government
circles that the steel price agreement
will practically end fabulous offers
which have been made for steel since
the war began. that the market will be
stabilized and that the United States
and it's allies In the future will not en-
counter the embarrassments that have
hedged their war purchases in the past.
II Is predicted by officials with de-
gree OF positiveness that shortly all the
basic war materials will come under the
Governments price fixing activities
either through voluntary arrangement,
as in the steel and copper and sugar
prices or by an Executive order, as in
the case Of coal. wheat and -four.
All Government departments approve
the price fixing arrangement entered
into with the steel men, although 1t
means in several cases much larger ex-
penditures than are being made now
under tentative arrangement. The
Shipping Board, for example. will have
to pay SIS more a ton for 1000, 900 tons
of steel plates-an extra expenditure of
s3v 900, 900.
Navy Prices to Remain.
Tho army and navy welcome the
definite settlement of steel prices, though
the prices are in excess OF those now
prevailing under special agreement be-
tween the Government and the United
states Steel Corporation. The fact that
the new prices apply generally to the
trade will indirectly help keep down
prices on manufactured articles Tor
army and navy use.
Secretary Daniels said that the new
prices did not affect the price Of $3.50
per hundredweight for plates and $3.50
for shapes which the navy has already
agreed TO pay for 10000 tons OF steel
contracted for. The new prices WILL
however, apply to the steel for the $50
new destroyers and also for steel to he
used in ship construction.
Agreement was reached by Secretary
Daniels and the United States steel Cor
poration last year to cover ships included
in the naval appropriation bill passed last
August. When the extensive war pro-
gramme for the navy was launched the
United States Steel Corporation informed
Secretary Daniels that It would provide
$40, 900 tons additional at the old price.
There was difficulty In getting coopera-
ton from all but few OF the steel COM
panies at this figure, and It was then
that advance arrangements were made
for the Government to hx the price.
Mr.. Daniels. In commenting on the in
creased prices. said he had only desired
to see the price fairly regulated. and now
that this had been done he would cheer
fully accept the verdict. He pointed out

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.--UnusuaI -.
tivities at the Department Of Justice
to-day were regarded as foreshadowing
more startling disclosures soon by the
Government OF the work of German
spies and propagandists in this country.
1t was admitted to-day that the Gov
eminent has In its possession a mass Of
interesting documents and that the next
expose probably would deal with the
disposition Of much Of the German
money that was spent here between the
beginning Of hostilities in 1914 and the
departure OF Count Won Bernstorff, the
German Ambassador. this year.
The Department OF Justice Is working
in close cooperation with the State De-
partment in deciphering messages sent
from the German Embassy during the
foregoing period, and of which II now
appears the Government in some mys-
terious manner has obtained a large
collection.
Many Names to he Made Public.
From the documents now in the pos.
session OF the Department Of Justice a
list is being compiled of the recipients
of German money for propaganda pur-
poses, the amount thus accounted for
running up into millions. There is rea-
son to believe that In this entire period
Germany spent for various purposes In
this country upward Of s25.O00.Ooo.
The Department of Justice has the
ra'res OF many prominent individuals
and societies that received this money.
1t Is likely that many of the names on
hn y1en-
OF the next official disclosure
This list viii include the names Of
persons who received money for OBJ
tanning fraudulent passports
1t was again emphasized to-day that
the Government had no intention Of
prosecuting persons involved in these
revelations. II is not for this purpose
that they are made

INDUSTRIES MAY SUFFER

WASHINGTON, Sept 20. President
Wilson announced to-day an agreement
between the War Industries Board and
American steel producers, operative
without revision until January I, 1918,
which will involve reductions in current
market prices ranging from 4s per cent
In the case Of pig iron UP to 7o.5 per
cont in the case Of steel plates, Just
now in tremendous demand. The price
Of iron ore is allowed to remain at the
present price Of &6.05 . ton.
The prices nxed by the agreement not
only will apply to all purchases made by
the American Government but to those
Of the general public and the ALLIES. The
steel men agree that there shall be no
reductions in the presen, wage scales
and that so long as the war lasts there
shall be the utmost endeavor to keep
production to the maximum.
While the prices set are great de.
creases from the extortionate figures due
to the unprecedented demand for steel
prices acknowledgedly out of all propor-
ton to the cost OF production-they are
substantial advances over pre-war prices.
over the tentative prices which the Ship
ping Board is paying and even over the
basis on which the Navy Department
has been buying outright all it's steel
and coke.
The entire output of American steel
plants will be distributed under super
vision Of the War Board. which, exercis-
ing the powers Of priority Of transporta-
ton given the Government by Congress,
Will apportion II in a way best to meet
the countrys war requirements
The price agreement was reached after
months OF negotiations between steel
producers and Government officials. The
prices were based on cost Of production

Commission after an Investigation con-
Quoted at the Presidents direction.
