PRICE OF STEEL
GUT By WILSON
Reductions Range From Fifty to
Seventy Per Cent.
NO REDUCTION IN WAGES
Announcement Follows Agreement
Reached Between War Industries
Board and Producers-Lonq
Controversy Ended.

Washington. Sept. 25.-An agree
ment between the war industries
board and steel producers reducing
the price of steel from so to 20 per
cent was announced on Monday follow
ing it's approval by President Wilson.
The new figures become effective at
once and are subject to revision Janu-
airy 1, 1918.
The price for steel plates of 1925
per hundred weight, or $50 ton. is
70.5 per cent less than recent quota
tons.
The steel men held out for about
SOS a ton, but were forced into line
for the lower figure by Bernard Ba-
ruch of the war industries board and
others who represented the govern
ment in conferences during the last
few days.
Steel Men Make Pledges.
Under the agreement the steel men
pledged themselvs to the following
stipulations:
That there shall be no reduction in
the present rate of wages.
That the agreed prices shall apply
to purchases by the general public as
well as to those of the allies and the
government.
That the steel men will exert every
effort to keep up the production to the
maximum of the past so long as the
war lasts.
The prices are based on results of
an investigation conducted by the fed
eral trade commission into cost pro-
duction. This inquiry has been
in progress for several months.
This announcement of prices was
agreed upon after many months of in
vestigation by the federal trade COM
mission and conferences between gov
eminent officials and the leading men
of the iron and steel business.

advanced at numerous places for dis

ately, and along a front of some thou
sand yards astride the Ypres-Menin

Senator La Toilette.

Chicago, Sept 27.-Colonel Roose-

ism, Children of the Melting Pot" to
Chicago on Wednesday night.
Speaking as child of the crucible

corked enthusiasm of the sort that
placed the roof of the pavilion in
jeopardy at the Roosevelt and Wilson
rallies on Americanism last year. He
tore loose against the pacifists and
propagandists with naked phrases.
He ripped out an indictment of Sen
ator La Toilette.
1.-The English in America fought for
America when England became our
foe" said the colonel early in his re-
marks. "And now every one of Ger
man descent should stand shoulder to
shoulder for this country and against
the bloody tyranny of the Prussian-
lied autocracy."
1.-THE Hun inside our gate, Senator

coloners onslaught upon the Wiscon-
sin senator. 1.-THE most sinister foe
of democracy at this moment is Sena-

humiliation to every worthy American.

Colonel Roosevelt saw Uncle Sans
National army in the making at Camp
Grant on Wednesday afternoon. He
travelled out to Rockford and, for 80
whooping, megaphOnic minutes, stirred
the $4,000 men at the cantonment.
With perpetual preparedness as his
text, he prodded up the war depart
ment because men are still drilling
with broomsticks."

Cardiff Is Prosperous.

Cardiff, Wales, has become known as
the Pittsburgh of the British Isles. Like
the American city, the coal mines are
largely responsible for its boom, al
though shipping has played no small
mart. Some men who were shipping
clerks two years ago now own string
of ships and coal miners are making

Just to show that it has made lot
of money, Cardiff invested $15O,OOO,OOO

Stronger Boxes From Less Material.

That a much stronger box than the
type ordinarily used can be made
with less material by increasing the
number of nails and by properly pro-
portioning the thickness of the sides
and ends has been demonstrated by
engineers of the Forest Products La
boratory, at Madison, Wisconsin. A
loss that reaches many millions of
dollars annually is, Ii is stated, caus-
ed by damage to goods In transit.
largely because of faulty containers.
The wood experts of the Forest Ser
vice believe that this loss can be de-
cidedly decreased by better construc-
tion of the boxes in which goods are
shipped.
Changes in the design of boxes
which were recommended as result
of the tests at the Laboratory have
been adopted by several associations.
1t is stated that demonstrations at a
recent meeting Of the Gamers As
sociation of what has been done by
the Forest Service along these lines
aroused considerable interest among
the manufactures. Many of these
men are said to have expressed their
intention of carrying out the sugges-
tions of the Laboratory experts.

Among the so-called evils Of inter-
collegiate athletics two that will be
subject TO the strongest attacks are
% high sa,aried coaches and (2) ex-
pensye training tables. The football
season Just ended has furnished con-
elusive proof that we can have sue
cessful college athletics without paying
exorbitant salaries to coaches and even
without training tables.
II will be recalled that two of the
recommendations made by the National
Collegiate Athletic Association at its
Washington convention last August
provided for great reduction in the
cost of coaching and complete elimina
tion of training tables Nearly all the
universities which played intercol-
legiate football this fall observed both
of these recommendations.
For the most part the professional
coaches either voluntarily cut their
salaries in two or worked without pay
ment. Very few institutions made any
attempt to have training tables, and in
those rare instances where the men
did eat together they paid the entire
cost of the table themselves.
