WILL ASK COMMISSION
TO FIX PRICE OF STEEL
President Denman of Emergency
Fleet Corporation Wants Uniform
Valuation of Material.

The federal trade commission will be
asked soon by President Denman Of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation to fix a
uniform price for steel and steel prod
ucts for all industries throughout the
country.
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
every other material entering into the
manufacture of steel
Methods to Be Employed.
The method of procedure will be for
the commission to suggest to all iron
and steel manufacturers and ore pro-
ducers that they unite and name
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. -
steel for the proposed fleet OF ocean
going vessels at comparatively 10"
price, 1t is feared that unless some re-
strictive action be taken the price OF
steel and iron to other industries will
attain unheard- of levels within short
time.
Result of Supply and Demand.
That. it is pointed out, might be
brought about by the natural law OF
supply and-demand, as the governments
requirements, when filed, would leave
an inadequate supply for other indus
tries.
The plan has been brought informal
Iy to the attention of the commission
and of the iron and steel producers. and
the commission is in position to act
upon the request within comparative
ly short time.
The present program calls for the nx.
ing 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. IL IS
pointed out that iron and steel for use
in the manufacture of harvest@rs and
other agricultural implements neces-
sary for the national defense to de-
gree secondary only to the need Tor
steel in constructing the proposed mer-
chant fleet.
Other Material Considered.
The commission also might find 1t nee
essary to fix the price of manganese,
limestone and other elements entering
into the manufacture of pig iron. Whlch
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 to state IN oe-
tail what his views were.

force the federal trade commission to
some action against them, were filed
with the commission today by Frank P.
Walsh. who formerly was chairman Of
the federal industrial relations COM
mission. Acting as an individual in
this instance, Mr.. Walsh charges that
news print manufacturers for many
months have been using unfair meth
DDS of competition in production and
sale of print paper. He asks the COM
mission to conduct a public hearing.
individuals and corporations named
in Mr.. Walshs complaint include E. w.
Backus. George H. Mead, p. T. Dodge.
Alexander Smith, George Chahoon, Jr.;

pany. the Spanish River Pulp and Pa
per Mills. Ltd; the international Pa
per Company. the Abitibi Power ana
Paper Company, Ltd: the Laurentide
Company, Ltd. and others not desig-
mated.
Basis of the Complaint.
The basis of the complaint is the
commissions recent report issued at
the conclusion of it's investigation into
the production and cost of print paper.
The manufacturers are charged with
having conspired and banded together
to control the industry. increase the
cost of paper by restricting free COM
petition and limiting the production
and having divided the country into
territories apportfoned among them
selves for the sale of their product.
In addition Mr.. Walsh charges that
the manufacturers have Disseminated
in prices among publishers. favorinB
some and running others, and have vlo-
lated contracts made with the commits
sion to furnish paper to publishers at
prices found by the commission to be
fair. legal and profitable.
Many false claims and allegations, Mr..
Walsh charges, have been made by the
manufacturers as part OF their al
Legged program of obtaining and retain
ing control of the field.
Says Commission Has Power.
The commission has ample power
under the law to stop this" said a
statement by Mr.. Walsh in connection
with the filing of the complaint. "They
may enter an order commanding these
known offenders to desist. There Is no
excuse for the usual laws delay. II
the conspirators refuse. they may have

cult courts Of appeal in the United
States where the offenses are being
committed, compelling compliance with

summary in character and take prece-
dence over all other cases.

it imperative that such orders be made

Reforming PLANS
FOR THEFOOD BILLS
Administration Working to
Keep Senate From Killing
the Second Measure.
TO DELAY THE CONFERENCE

Administration supporters OF the
food bills rearranged their battle lines
today to make sure that 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 con-
troll, bill. 1t might be contended that
the provisions Of the first bill are suf-
ficient. the House leaders today decided
to let the first bill remain in its pres
ent stage, and thus force the Senate
to enact all the program before any
Of it gets to the critical stage OF con-
ference between the two houses.
Should House leaders be able to delay
the appointment of conferees on the
first bill until after passage of the
get most Of the administration program
on the statute books.
Progress Made in the House.

day in the House. where the food con-

sion; and the most necessary sections

minor amendments of legal and tech

eral the bill remains in principle ex-
actly as it was written.
Quick rejection by the House of a
proposal by Representative Mondell OF
Wyoming to give the President control
of all necessaries presaged the finish
of the fight for a broadened scope OF
the bill.
The food control bill debate passed
into the second stage yesterday after
noon. after the general discussion
ceased in the House and amendments
were taken up. In the Senate substan-
tial success was made toward com
promising some of the different opin-
ions as to the necessity of the bill. and

Elimination of the provisions author
