and others who went out and put the
thing across, and the one and only
reason why Iron county takes high
rank among the others OF the state is
simply because OF the enthusiastic,

which these people devoted them

no reason whatever for charging any
one with negligence or undue procras-

Increase of As Cents a Ton Is
Granted, Subject to
Wilson's Approval
PRICES STAND ON
PIG IRON AND STEEL
Advance Is to Meet the Higher Freight
Rates and Wages Of Miners-Condi-
lions in the Ore Fields Remains Prac.
tically Unchanged.

WASHINGTON, June "A tentative
increase of As cents a ton in the govern
ment fixed price on iron ore was agreed
upon yesterday by representatives of
she iron producers and the steel indus
try in conference with Robert s.
Bookings, J. Leonard Replogle and
Alexander Legge of the war industries
board.
The increase will be submitted to
President Wilson for approval before it
goes into effect. The present fixed price
on ore, which expires June 80, is 30 O5
ton. The new price is $3.50.
Changes in the fixed prices on pig
iron and steel, which will expire also on
June 80, were not asked by the steel
men, and without objection on their
part the existing prices will be contin-
ued for another term. The advance in
ore prices will be continued for an
other term. The advance in ore prices
Is for the purpose of meeting freight
rate increases which have been ordered
by Director General McAdoo and GER
tain wage additions granted to the
workers in the iron mines.
Greater production of ore and i'm.
proved transportation conditions occu.
pied the attention of the conference
Although the output of the iron mines
was about 65,000,000 tons last year, il
was said that this tonnage must be
greatly increased this year if the wal
needs of the government and of the al.
lied powers, who are dependent in con.
Siderable measure on this country fol
munitions, are to be met.
Labor conditions in the ore fields, i,
| was stated, are virtually the same a!
they were at the outbreak of the war
due to the fact that the majority of the
miners are aliens and are not subject
to the operation of the seleetive draf
law. Few of them have been attracted
into other industries in search of higher
wages as increases in pay have beer
given to meet advancing costs of living
The fixed price on basic pig iron al
designated by the President April / i.
S32 gross ton and 500 on scrap steel
Contracts for steel which have beer
made this spring were subject to re
visions which might have been mad
in yesterdays conference These con
tracts are expected to be renewed o

named when they were made.
