MAY TAKE OVER
STEEL MILLS

Washington, May 1s.-Government
operation of the steel mills of the
country may be sought If the joint
steel committee appointed today,
representing the war industries board
and the American iron and steel in
stltute fails to agree on steps to in
crease production for government
and the allies needs. and restrict
nOn-War consumption.
Chairman Baruch and his chief
aides are understood to be prepared
to ask President Wilson to take dras-
tic action the moment they are con-
WINGED that is the only way to get
increased steel production.
Most members of the board. but
particularly Mr.. Replogle, feel that
the steel shortage Is real and not a
matter OF fuel and transportation.
They are said to hold that drastic
curtailment Of all lesser essential in
dustries is imperative.
Any move toward government con-
troll will meet with determined OPP
position from the steel men.
Big interests. notable the passen-
ger automobile manufacturers, al
ready are preparing to fight such
further curtaiIment of their indus
tries as the war industries board Is
known to have planned.
