NO DECISION
IN STEEL PRICES

NEW YORK. Sept. 22.-The result OF
the conference between the iron and
steel interests and the war industries
board on the subject OF prices Tor tho
last quarter is not yet known. although
an agreement has been reached.
1t has been intinated that tho pig
iron produce asked for an advance OF
SIS IL ton and the miners OF orc Tor 6p
cents a ton. From the measre intorna-
ton available ut this time, Il Is inferred
that q slight increase in orc has been
granted. but there is little probability
that the advance in iron has been con-
cedcd. No definite announcement would
be mad euntil the president has passed
upon the agreement.
1t is fairly safe to assume that there
will be no change in the prices OF manu-
featured steel products. Iron producers
based their claims for advance on cost
OF labor and higher transportation rates
Manufacturers announced they were I'M
able tn continue at present scales.
Labor has delayed tho outturn OF cop
per, which is sparingly distributed
among consumers.

 T earnestly beg that you do not relax your efforts in the slightest de- gree on account of the possibility ot an early armistice. Even if an early armistice should be concluded, this does not mean that the war is over and in any case the emergency will not be over for a long time. Most of the work that you have been call ed on to perform must go on undl' minished Every man and woman in the Council of Defense system should stay on the job"
