 OPPOSES LOWER WAGES
 Mir Gary opposed any effort to fs- fduce wage scales at present, declaring that while labor is receiving higher compensation than ever before, tho rates are no higher than are proper and just in view of the cost of llv-
 
 ing.
 Perhaps the most satisfactory way of reducing the present basis of gem eral prices that are abnormal, Mr. Gary said, would be in the making or simultaneous reductions in every direc- tion.,' but this he declared, would be impracticable.
 He urged, therefofe, that the steel industry. as "barometer of trade.' pe- gin reductions in prices, even at the cost of sacrifice. Such course. he declared, would result in price reduc- tions by persons buying steel. and 'so on down the line" until stable busi- ness basis was reached.
 "If the workmen are treated fair ly and liberally," he said, they will stand and contend for fair treatment of the employer

AMERICANS GET.
MANY GERMAN GUNS
ENORMOUS NUMBER OF HEAVY
CANNON IN GOOD ORDER BE-
ING DELIVERED

AMERICAN ARMY OF OCCUPA-
TION, Friday. (By the Associated
Press.)-The German authorities be-
gan today turning over to the Am
erican third army large quantities of
war material which will require sew
eral trains to transport.
Included in the artillery given up
by the Germans are 760 guns of large
caliber and nearly 5000 machine guns.
The other guns range from 150s to
21Os. I,
The Metterurich, just outside of
Coblenz, is the assembling point for
that matter. Some of it comes from
east Of the Rhine, many of the guns
having been sent into the interior of
Germany for repairs, as the terms OF
the armistice require that all the ar
tillery be turned over in first-class
condition. +
Today American officers began
checking up the guns as they came
in. German officers especially as
signed for the. final delivery of the
material assisted in the work and re-
ceived the receipts as fast as the
Americans inspected and accepted
the surrendered property. This is the
largest amount of artillery turned
over to the Americans under the
armistice and it is estimated it will
require a week to inspect and receipt
for all the equipment.
