GOVERNMENT TO PUT
THE BRAKES ON STEEL
Non-War Industries Must Wait Until
United States and Allies
Are Served.

Washington, June 10.-The gov
ernment has frightened its grip on the
steel supply of the country in accord
with an agreement reached between
the war industries board and the
American Iron and Steel institute.
The direct and indirect require
ments of the American government
and the allies will be met first If
there is any surplus it will be quit
ably distributed among the non-war
industries.
Bernard NJ. Baruch, chairman of
the war industries board. at the con-
clusion Of an all-dav secret session of
the board, made public a resolution
adopted by the joint committee of
the steel institute and the board, de-
finng the steel policy. Figures were
not made public, but resolution
adopted by the committee declared
that the government and allied steel
needs necessitates strict conserva-
tion of the available supply, and ex-
pansion of existing resources, and
development of new sources of sup
ply.
The Iron and Steel institute agrees
that no pig iron or steel will be de-
livered except on a priority certifi-
cate, issued by the war industries
board, and then for no purpose 9TH
er than those embraced in the pref
erence list Of the priorities division
of the board.
The board will keep a close check
on the mills through reports to be
forwarded to j. Leonard Replogle
each week. giving detailed informa-
tion as to all shipments made, not
covered by priority certificates.
Even after the government and
allies needs are cared for, the ap-
proval of Director Replogle will have
to be obtained before any steel will
be available for non-war industries.
The ioirt steel committees viii
make careful studies Of the present
and prospective iron and steel re-
cr'rements of the government and
the allies, and the capacity of the
iron and steel manufacturing plants
of the country. Recommendation
Will be made for the stimulation of
production.
The war Industries board declined
to. make public the Joint committees
report as to the exact steel situation.
1t was learned, however. that Direc-
tor OF Steel saPply Replogle told the
board that the virtual cutting of of
steel supply for non-war industries
for the next year would be necessary
If the government and allied require
ments are to be taken care of.
