TRUCKING PRICES HIGH
Traffic Managers Consider Schedule of Rates Out of Question--Contracts May Go Out of Town.

The meeting held at the Chamber of Commerce rooms yesterday. in an effort to bring the trucking men of the city, and the traffic managers of the local factories together to estab- fish a schedule of prices to be put into effect in carrying the finished pro- ducts of local factories. was not pro- ductive of any definite action on the part of either the truckers or the traf- fic men. The list Of prices submitted by the truckers was declared by the traffic men to be wholly out Of the question, although they are claimed by the truckers to be as low as they can possibly set at this time. The prices are pra ctical1y the same as those set some time ago by the truck CTS in their first conference with the factory managers, and the managers have been waiting for them to recon sider their schedule. before the con- tracts for hauling the finished pro- ducts are awarded outside companies.
 The meeting yesterday was made I'D of two committees of three men each, representing the two parties. The auto transportation question was gone over thoroughly and discussed after which the truckmen presented their list Of prices. Ine pT1ceS were immediately rejected by the traffic men as the contracts now pending with outside truckers are at prices far be- low those of the local men. One of these concerns is backed by a capital of S2nO. 900 and will establish line of 12 trucks for this city alone. The Chamber of Commerce is anxious to award the contracts to local compan-
 ies if possible. At present the torma~ ton of a company composed or all
 the truckers of the city backed by large capital to be secured by the truckers which will enable them to
 take these jobs not IS a group of con cerns, but as one concern, is belne considered This it is expected will improve the service as well as lower the prices.
 The adoption of this system of hauling was taken up some time ago because of the congested condition Of the ralroad ds,
 The truckmen will meet agaln next | Tuesday with Secretary Sprague o1 1 the chamber to report their ma 1 views on the matter and state Wheth- 1 CT they can do the work at the prices 1 recommended by the traffic men. or 1 whether they intend to drop the mat i for and allow the contracts to leave
 the city. Mir Sprague will also hold l meeting with the traffic men.

They serve as clubs, meeting rooms, dance halls. theaters,
 
 en ractically as homes to the citi- zens of the communities where they are erected--just now to soldiers, sail ors and marines.
 The Community House to be built in this city will be a model of it's kind. It will be about 200 feet square and will stand just outside the en- trance to Camp Custer.

Steel and Pig
 Iron Markets
The Iron Age says today

IuS Iron Age says IOQdN
 As was expected. August pig production fell below that of July. It was 8 L a less rate also than the out puts of April, May and June, but was higher than that of any other month since May, 1917. The total was B. 389,583 gross tons, or 109,341 tons a day, against 3,420,9SS tons in July, or 110,364 tons a day-a falling off in the daily rate of about 1000 tons.
 September opened with nine more furnaces in blast than on August l. and now that the season when enor- nous quantities Of heated moisture are pumped into the stacks is probab- ly over output should increase Fur naces in blast September 1 were 372 with ca paCity estimated at 112,39O tons a day. against G63 furnaces on August 1, with daily capacity of 111,300 tons
 The meeting of iron and steel manu- lecturers in New York on August 2S was occupied solely with the labor question and the matter of possible price changes for the last quarter of the year was not touched. Leaders in the industry realize that even the present insufficient rate of production cannot be maintained unless special measures are taken in connection with the new draft. More important still is the maintenance of existing hours and the safeguarding of the industry for the period of the war against such restrictions of output as have com- monly accompanied union control Some of the recent Washington de- Cisions of labor issues have evidently not taken into account the grave con- sequences to the war program which would result from a wide enforcement oP h find i1oc in eSn fa{ working trades.
 The conference on iron and steel prices between the general steel com mittee and the war industries board is appointed for September IS at Wash ington. An all-day meeting of the committee in New York September g. will be followed by others at which the requests of various groups of man ufacturers for higher prices will be considered.
 The Lake Superior ore movement In August fell 934,0OO tons below that of July, owing to the diversion of vessels from ore to grain. let with 9,725, 900 tons moved last month, against 10,- 659, 900 tons in July, the total for the season up to September 1 was the greatest on record-39, 334, 900 tons to Septen1 Der 1 in the previous high year, 19lb Q. The 1aCt that some pig iron producers have not bought ore enough to carry them to next May, when 1919 ore comes down. indicates the beginning of calculations based on 3 marked change in the war situation. Representative of the mallea lole castings industry at a meeting in New York August 30 adopted prices. mak- ing number of revistons in the exist ing schedule, and these will be recom- mended 10 the war industries board. The threatened inventory of the countrys stocks of finished steel has been ordered by the war industries board. Manufacturing consumers of rolled iron and steel must report what l they have down to the smallest hold 1 ings. Communicating of surplus 1 stocks for war purposes is 9 proba ble l next step.
