FIGHT over steel
Shipping Board and War De-
partment Clash.
.Schwab Insists Army Should
Take Inventory. -

Washington, July .s1.-A spirited
fight is on between the shipping board
and the war department over steel.
Director General Schwab and Chair
man Hurley of the shipping board will
carry their fight tomorrow before
representatives of the war department
and war industries board demanding
priority steel service. sEst
Shipping board needs, it is stated,
demand an additional reserve of $780,
900 tons, wkile the war department, in
sists that the 100000 tons of steel
now distributed to the various ship
yards is sufficient to meet present re-
quirements.
Schwab is coming with the an
nounced intention OF obtaining priori-
ties for steel needed by the Fleet cor
poration.
Army Should Ascertain Needs.
Schwab has been quoted as declar-
ing that the war department should
not ask for more steel until it has tax
en- an inventory of the steel now on
hand and has ascertained definitely
what its needs for the future will be.
Frequent requests for these figures
have been made of the war depart
ment but so far no figures have been
available.
The shipping board also seeks to
obtain about 10000 tons of steel, As
600 of which is for China and the rest
for Japan, in order that Oriental ship
yards may go forward with their work
This has met opposition from sew
eral quarter on the ground that local
demands should be satisfied first. But
shipping board officials say that in as
much as the nations demand is for
ships it should not matter where thew
are constructed.

provements. The advance also gov
erns in the cost of power, and the ele-
ments that produce it,"
Patterns attitude is regarded as a
forerunner of a request to the public
utilities commission for six-cent fare
here.
Officials of the company find many
arguments in favor of such a possible
step. Intra-city transportation COM
panies in dozens of other large munich
palities have already or are, planning
to place the :. scent fare in effect.
Street railway men here argue that
the cost of operation in Topeka, in
comparison with revenues, is higher
than in Kansas City. Mo.
Matter Before Government.
A proposition now before governs
ment authorities would authorize the
street railway companies in numerous
cities in the United States to advance
their rates.
In cities where the higher rates are
in effect, the street car companies
have esta blished centrally located sta
tions and ticket agents where patrons
of the line ay buy tickets by the
book. This does away with the extra
penny in change. The cars, however.
carry pay-as-you-enter devices for
registration of the penny and nickel as
one fare.
