WANT UNIFORM
STEEL PRICES |:
Emergency Go=pora
ten to Ask Federal Iyade
Board to Fix Them.
Low Prices to Government
May Force Cost up
For Others.

Washington. June 22.-The Federal
Trade Commission will be asked soon
by President Danman of the Emerg-
ency Fleet corporation to fix a uni
form price for steel and steel products
for all industries throughout the coun-
try
The commission will be asked to
name a fair price which will afford
the producers a fair profit not only
on steel but on pig iron, iron ore and
ever 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 ore
producers that they unite and name
a price themselves, subject to the
commissions approval Should they
decline to adopt this course. the gov
ernment has power to commanders
the plants.
With the government obtaining its
steel for the proposed fleet Of ocean
going vessels at a 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 q
short time.
That. it is pointed out, might be
brought about by the natural law OF
supply and demand as the govern
ment's requirements when filled would
leave an inadequate supply for othe,
industries.

Not Duty Bound to do I'm
reasonable, unless Directed,
Minnesota Court Says.

St. Paul, June ga railroad is not
in duty bound, in the absence Of ship
ping directions. to do the unreason-
able in order to secure an anticipated
rate for the shipper, the Minnesota
Supreme court ruled today in the
case of the Comstock Elevator Com
pany against the Great Northern road
on an appeal by the latter. The suit
was brought to recover for alleged
excess freight charges paid on 112
cars Of grain shipped by the elevator
company from Comstock. Mimi. to
Minneapolis. pending the federal in
junction prohibiting into effect the
freight rate statute. The Great
Northern has two lines of road out Of
Moorhead to Minneapolis: one intra-
state, through Barnesville, and the
other interstate. running through
Breckenridge. Mimi, and for seven
miles in North Dakota. No shipping
directions were given and in conform
ity with it's usual practice and because
OF the easier grades, the company
carried all cars save one over the
Breckenridge route.
The Ramsey county court held that
the railroad had misrouted the ship
ment and was bound to select the in
trastate route which under the law.
took cheaper rate. This is reversed
on the ground that the intrastate rout-
ing under the conditions governing
would have been unreasonable.

Administration Supporters
to Make Fight For Sec

Washington, June 22.-Administra-
ton supporters of the food bills re-
arranged their battle lines today to
make sure the senate does not kill
the second bill on the ground that the
first bill is enough.
Fearing that. should the first or
production bill with its clause against
food boarding be finally enacted,
while the senate debates the second.
or control bill. it might be contended
that the provisions of the first bill re-
main in its present stage and thus
force the senate to enact all the pro-
grams before any of 1t gets to the
critical stage of conference between
the two houses.
Should house leaders be able to de-
lay the appointment Of conferees on
the first bill until after passage Of
the second by both houses. they ex-
pected to get most Of the administra-
ton program on the statue book.
