STEEL TRADE
IN CONFUSION
Producers Surprised That
Prices Were Agreed Upon
Rather Than Imposed

Since the announcement on Mon
day of the prices agreed upon by the
government and leading steel pro-
ducers the trade has been in utter
confusion. Surprise that the prices
were agreed upon rather than i'm
posed by the government was fol-
lowed by excited efforts to get de-
tails which thus far are lacking, and
meanwhile business practically
stopped.
The Iron Age of to-day says:
While only six products are includ-
ed in the announcement, including
the three forms of finished steel
which the government will buy most
largely, prices on other products will
be worked out and put into effect
later. On billets, a pivotal interme-
date product. strangely omitted
from the first list, a SIS advance
over pig iron may fairly be expect
cd. In two of the products not yet
fixed-wire and wrought pipe-the
market prices lately maintained by
the leading producer would be near
ly in line with the new schedule on
plates, shapes and bars"

Bakic murder. But he maintains that
his conviction was obtained on

one Michale Noyokovich could be
located he might have a chance to
escape the chair. This man Novo-
kovich. he SAID. swore falsely against
him at the first trial-claimed to be

He has not been seen in this vicinity
since. At the second trial the notes
of testimony of the missing witness
taken at the first trial were read to
the jury.
Kotur said two foreigners told him
that Novokovich was paid $50 to tes-
tify against him. Also, they said,
according to his story, that Novo-
kovich was released from prison
when he agreed to implicate Kotur.
Kotur clCims he did not know

him only three times before the muir

The condemned man said he knew
nothing about the murder until after
s o'clock on the following morning,
hours after the crime was discovered
by the police. He was not arrested
until week afterward. Kotur and
his lawyers declare that the wit
nesses who were his accusers in the
court hearings had testified before the
Steelton magistrate at the prelimi-
nary hearing that they knew nothing
about the murder.
Oscar G.. Wickersham, one of the
counsel, said this morning that he
yet may plead with the Governor to
respite Mick" so he can present an
application to the Board of Pardons
for rehearing.
