MINNESOTA PROTESTS
HIGH STEEL PRICES
STATE PRODUCES IRON
Forced to Pay Pittsburgh Rate
Plus; Hits All People
of the State
Ry George F. Author.

(staff correspondent Minneapolis
Tribune.) =.
Washington, Dec. 4.-The case OF
Minnesota against continuance OF
the Pittsburgh single price basing
point system for the shipment of steel
and steel products was laid before
the Federal Trade commission yes
terday by Clifford l.. Hilton, state at
torney general, and George M. Gill
cite, president of the Minneapolis
Steel & Machinery company.
T. T. Hudson, representing the
joint committee of civic organizations
of Duluth, and H. G. Pickering, rep
resenting the Superior Commercial
club, basic price which, it is charged,
is taxing the consuming public of the
United States nearly $3O,0OO,OOO a
year.
The trade commission is conduct
ing hearings on application for aboli-
ton of the Pittsburgh base system
supported by virtually all the steel
fabricators of the country outside the
immediate Pittsburgh district. BY
the Pittsburgh system all rolled steel
is sold throughout the United States
at the Pittsburgh ruling price plus
fictitious freight from Pittsburgh to
destination.
Hits All State Residents.
Every man, women and child in
Minnesota" said Attorney General
Hilton, lis required to contribute to
this excess cost" The state of Min
nesota, he said, was large user of
steel and $4,000 tons of structural
Sea- ho ,,co1
during the next five years in the
statewide good roads program. The
. state would save $594,U00 if enabled
to purchase the necessary steel +. o. b.
Duluth. He said the farmers, being
large users of steel products such as
farm implements, wire, fencing and
nails, are heavily taxed by the sys-
TEN.
Mr.. Gillette declared that from $40
to $65 is added to the cost of farm
tractors manufactured at Minneap0-
lis because of freight differential add
ed under the Pittsburgh system. He
declared that Minnesota, producing
sc per cent of the iron ore mined in
the United States, suffers the extreme
Of discrimination
Pulling Up Stakes"
Mr.. Pickering said that shipyards
established at Superior during the
war are pulling up stakes and leav-
ing because of the $3.50 a ton sur
charge they must pay for STEEL" He
said Superior business men feel that
steel production should develop at
Superior in view Of it's natural ad-
vantages, but that the Pittsburgh
base system operated against such de-
velopments.,
Mr.: Pickering countered the; claim
that the Pittsburgh system stabilizes
the steel industry by urging that IF
stabilizing influences are needed" to
restrain the operation of natural
trade laws such restraint should be
applied by a government agency,
'acting in the public interest"

Vienna Again Face to Face With Big
 Famine in Fuels

Vienna, Aug. 30-,Correspondenco of The Associated Press )--Cool njghts ana chill autumnal rains are begin nlng to bring Vienna, and all Austria lace to face with the fuel famine that looms along with the food shortage, Today this great city has a reserve ot only 5000 tons. Not hospital mas been able to arrange it's winter supply.
 The government eXpJerts estimate that with all available wood added to the estimated coal supply the Viennese householder this winter may have about seventy-ti per cent of enough lllel to keep one cooking fire. No one talks of heating. Warm houses and not water are among the other luyu- ries unknown.
 C2echosloVakia has coal for export and contracts have been made by the Anstrians for all they can get, but the delivery is slow and the whole matter seems clouded with diffcul- ties and complications It is believed means will be found to maintain the Inter Allied Express trains that now run three times a week, but other railway and river transport doubtless will be very limited.

Fail to Order Probe
 of Palmer's Office

Washington, Sept. 2O.-Senator Calder of New York and other re- publicans today pressed for action by the senate on the resolution proprs- ing investigation of the alien property custodian's office, but afte,' two hours fight in which several republ cans joined democrats in opposing the inquiry, the resolution was set aside without action in order that the senate might proceed with the peace treaty.
 Attorney General Palmer, the for mer custodian, was the storm center of the debate. Several republican senators insisted that his adn,inistra- tion of the vast alien property fund of about $750,000,0O0 should be in- vestigated as proposed by a special senate committee.
 Democratic senators, declaring that MT. Palmer did not oppose an inves- tigation, urged that the senate judi ciary committee first decid. whether an inquiry was desirable.

Legal Precedent
 For Nationalizing
 Oil Lands Claimed

Mexico City, Sept. 2O.-Legal precedent for the republic of Mexico to nationalize it's lands which are now devoted to the production of petrol cum, is clamied in statement recent ly furnished to The Associated Press by Leon Salinas, sub-secretary of the Department of Commerce and Indus try which has this question in charge.
 Laws and statutes governing the development of coal and oil deposits date back to the days of viceroys in Mexico, the statement says, and since that time there has been a series of decrees and laws that firmly estab- fishes the rights of the republic in this regard.
 The question is now in the hands of the Mexican Congress for revision with view to adjudicating claims made by foreign companies with vast interests in Mexico.
 As early as 1793 the Spanish gov ernment, by laws known as Mining Statutes of New Spain," established the absolute dominion of the crown over mines and their products in Mexico, says the statement.
 Benito Juarez, president of Mexico, decreed in 1863 that the nation has direct dominion over coal beds.
 In 1881 the Supreme Court of Jus- tice decided that the coal mines were subject to be denounced and that the Mining Statutes of New Spain" were still in force. Two years later the Congress of the Union amended the federal constitution, establishing the right of that Congress to issue mining and commercial codes which should be binding throughout the re- public.
 Based on authorization and exer- cising the authority granted by the legislative power, the president in 1884 issued the first mining code of the Mexican republic which declared, in substance, that the coal and oil of the sub-soil belonged to the owner of the surface. This principle was followed in the mining laws issued bv Congress in 1892 and in 1910.
 The statement declares that later, in 1917, Article 27 of the Constitu- tlon, { he proposed amendment to which mas been submitted to Con- gress by President Carranza, recog- nized the dominion of the nation over the hydrocarbons and the system of concessions that the law which is now proposed is founded upon the principles of the Constitution.

of exploration and have located Gil deposits on the Pacific coast.
 The departmental denial came as the result of stories emanating from the United States that Japanese cap- ltahsts were negotiating for the transfer of large petroleum holdings in the Tampico district.
 El Monitar recently interviewed q Japanese, R. E. Douari, who was sent to be a member of the oriental ex- ploratlon party. He asserted that the Pac1flcc coast had been thoroughly GOV cred in the search for oil and that large deposits of the latter had been found. He also asserted that Japan needs Mexican oil for commercial purposes and will attempt to acquire that product but it has no intention Of buying leases, developed or unde. veloped, on the Atlantic coast.
