 You'll have to move and give up your banner" said one of the police men to Miss Burns.
 This is private property" the suffragist leader replied. '.and you have noa right to take 1t away
 Wouldn't you rather give 1t up than have 1t taken from you," said one of the police matrona.

TRADE COMMISSION
 ID SET STEEL PRICES
President of Emergency Fleet Corporation Asks for
 Sweeping Inquiry.

Washington, June 22.-The federal trade commission will be asked soon by President Denman of the emer- gency fleet corporation to fix uni- form price for steel products for all industries throughout the country.
 The commission will be asked to name 8 price which will afford the producers a fair profit not only on steel but on pig iron. iron ore and every other material entering into the manufacture of steel
 The method of procedure will be for the commission to suggest to all iron and steel manufacturers and orc producers that they unite and na1ne . price themselves, subject to tho oom> missions approval. Should they de. cline to adopt this course the gov. ernment has power to commandeef the plants.
 With the government obtaining its steel for the proposed fleet of ocean, going vessels at Q comparatively low price, 1t is feared that unless some restrictive action be taken the price of steel and iron to other industries will attain unheard levels within . short time.
 That, 1t is pointed out, might be brought about by the natural law of supply aud demand. - tho govern- lna6ks1 r6Quireanents whom fllsd would leave an inadequate supply for other industries.
 The commission might md 1t ne- ,cessary to find the price of manga nese, limestone and other clements entering in the manufActur1ng of pig iron, which in turn is turned into steel.

 An excellent aftsr-dinner speaker, in the person of James E. AcAursay. < president of the Acma Steel Goods company of Chicago. ILL. was intro diiced. Speaking of the work of the ! Red Cross. the speaker said that members of this grand organization are in g position to render to the young men of the country assistance in time of need, and many times they are of quicker and more efficient value to the army and navy than the government. To carry oh this won- derful work particularly when 1t Is needed so bad. the assistance of every man, woman and child in our great nation should be given toward fur- thering the work.

 Rev. Dr. 0. w. c. Hill, pastor of the South Congregational church was 1.-the second speaker. He said that unlike previous campaigns in which he was called to respond to invita- tions to address tho gatherings, this one was very serious. Most people do not readily grasp the situation and the ideas which the founders of the campaign now in progress are trying to bring to successful end- ing. In previous campaigns, many persons had an excuse to dodye con- tributing to the campaign. but in the sspresent one, there was absolutely no reason for SO doing.
