Months of Negotiation
The price agreement was reached after
months OF negotiations between steel pro-
ducers and government officials. The
prices were based on cost Of production
and estimates by the Federal Trade Com
mission after an investigation conducted
at the Presidents direction.
The chief point of difference that de-
veloped in the prolonged conferences was
over the question Of whether the public
and the Allied governments should share
IN the prices to be fixed. President Will
son has insisted that they should. and
the administrat ton has supported the
Pomerene hill now pending in Congress
giving the government power to fix iron
and steel prices generally.
Inclusion Of the public and the AL
lies in the voluntary reductions will

requisitioned under the National De-
Tense act. but the Pomerene bill will
be pushed It is understood. that il
may be enforced in event the volun-
tarv agreement does not work on,
satisfactorily.
Allow Fair Prices
Officials in close touch with the sit
uation said tonight that the prices ap-
proved by the President We're liberal
and would allow fair profits to all

Germs, they said. would make hand

Reorganization Necessary

Since the revolt was put down, ac-
cording to the embassy, a thorough re-
organization has become necessary be-
bause the troops lacked confidence in
their commanders and changes are be-
ing made in administrative and army
positions which will result in the
greatest benefit.
The statement issued BY the en-
bassy says:
The plans advocated by Gen. korni-
loft We're under consideration and
most of them had been adopted by the
provisional government. On the morn
ing of Sept. three remaining meas
ures were adopted, but had not been
put into operation. These measures
were:
THE enforcement Of the death pen
atty in the rear Of the army; the
widening Of the territory to be consid-
cred as the theatre of war. so as to en-
force military law; and the enforce
ment Of martial law in Petrograd
On the morning of Sept s, it was
decided by the provisional government
TO adopt these measures. but that
evening Niadkir Lvoff came from Cen
korniloff with a fit demand that die
tatorship he vested in him.
"A judicial inquiry Is under way to
determine how this demand came TO
he brought and TO determine the origin
of the measure.
