Steel IS
DISPOSED TO BALk
Cannot Agree With Secretary
Of War As To Prices
Story Is Denied

Washington, Aug. 9.-The Bethle-
hem Steel company and the war de-
partment are at odds over the price to
be paid for steel rails for use in France
/ The steel company refused to sup
ply these rails at rates quoted by Sec
retary of War Baker and the matter
| is now under negotiation.
Secretary Baker said today the Beth
lehem order was very small compared
to the total output of the plant, and
denied there was any relation between
a decline in the Bethlehem shares and
tn controversy with the department
1t is understood that Baker s price
was $40, whereas the steel company
wanted considerably higher. Baker re-
fused to furnish any figures to the
press, saying that his reason was he
did not care to discuss the matter of
rails for France.
Behind the Bethlehem refusal to
reach Bakers price is understood to
be general agreement among tn steel
makers to delay furnishing their pro-
ducts to the government until the fed
eral trade commission has determined
a reasonable price basis. The commits
sion has under consideration cost
plus percentage system for all war
steel.
Baker indicated he does not regard
the incident as seriously interfering
with the rail work in France The war
department is assisting in reconstruct
ing some of France s rundown railway
system, and is especially interested in
having good transport facilities be-
tween the seaboard and the American |
lamp.

a majority Of the cases showed that
the players entered the game without
proper knowledge OF 1t and without
proper physical condition for so rough
a sport
The open style Of play, instead Of
the smashing game which rapidly is
being discarded. has eliminated much
OF the danger, in the opinion Of Fred

players, he said, also are better pro-
tected through improved heavily
padded uniforms and headgears
