Members of the committee pre-
sented tentative amendments to the
bill which will take away any addi-
tional powers over the executive de-
partments that might be granted to
the President by the bill. 1t was
agreed in the subcommittee that no
additional powers should be includ-
ed in the measure.
Senator Overman contended the
bill merely gives the President the
right to coordinate the work of the
various executive departments and
that it does not give him any wide
weeping power to change bureaus
and departments. Other members OF
the committee desired to read the
bill more carefully and to- draw
amendments, and adjournment was
taken until Thursday.
Members of the committee arc
still in the dark as to what the
President proposes to do in the way
of reorganization of the executive
department if the bill is passed.

WASHINGTON. May la secret
and important meeting Of the steel
committee OF the American Iron and

has been called here for tomorrow.
The whole question of curtailmcnt OF

their output as they do now. or much
more drastic their control must be.
Information as 10 the war Industries
boards purpose in calling the meeting
vas refused to-day by Bernard ". Ba-
ruch and other officials. and every ef-
fort was made TO guard carefully the
fact that leading steel men OF the coun-
try had been called in.
Officials familiar with the steel sit

little II any Improvement since the

tho allies for steel and the inability
TO mcc, IN full American requirement 8
arc the chief factors.
The steel men arc understood TO be
prepared to take issue with the war In
dustries board over the actual war
needs for steel. officials in the va
rious war-rlaliinE branches OF the gov
ernmcnt arc said to disagree on just
how far the board should go in con-
trolling the output OF tho steel mills.
Some officials take the position that
certain of the warmaEing agencies
have not given definite figures as to
their actual requirements because they
have not been able to determine them.
Until this Is done. they say. It Is un-
fair to the Industrial life OF the coun-
try TO take what they regard as rad
ical action.
The steel men contend there Is no
serious shortage. and that, pending
actual determination OF war require
r1ents, there Is 70 necessity for cutting
off absolutely steel for commercial use.
