Washington, March u.
Complete schedules of new
prices for steel and iron prod

following the conference was taken as
an mitigation that the boards efforts
to reduce and stabilize prices through
agreement with producers would not meet
with opposition from the department OF
justice.
Steel men, who, in joint conference
with the board, framed the new schedule,
before leaving Washington yesterday said
that it was understood that the ques-
ton of price agreements was to be laid
before the Attorney General by the board.

after the visit to Mr.. Palmer's office,
said that the board had merely paid

principal articles of iron and steel the
Industrial board of the department OF
commerce. carryingsout the purpose for
which it was created, believes that a
level has been reached below which the
public should not expect to buy during
the current year. The purpose OF the
board is to bring about such lower
level of prices as will effect stability
and stimulate trade to the end that bus
mess and industry can proceed and
build up with confidence and provide
maximum employment.

EFFECTIVE AT ONCE
The new prices, which generally rep
resent reductions from 10 to IA per cent,
become effective at once for the year
1919 and represent the first efforts OF
the industrial board at price stabiliza-
ton and reduction to a peace-time basis.
In approving the schedules submitted by
the steel men, the board, according to
statement issued tonight adopted
policy to be followed in agreements with
producers of other basic commodities.
This policy it was said, is to strike
balance that. while calling sooner or
later for some sacrifice or adjustments
on the part of all, yet will not subject
any of these interests to undue hard

Judge e. Fl. Gary of the United States
Steel corporation, and chairman of the
committee representing the American
Iron and Steel institute, which conferred
with the board, in a statement contain
ing the announcement of the new prices
said that the new rates were agreed upon
with a view to bringing about a revival
and sterilization of business through
prices favorable to the consuming public

new prices would not disturb wage rates
or interfere with wage agreements.

TO EMPLOY 900 TO 500 HANDS.
Rutland Plant Will Do Cutting for All
Tauber, Upton & Co. Factories.

Rutland, Oct. l3.--Rutland is to have
the main cutting department of all of
the Tauber, Upton & Co. factories This
means a big increase in the business
which this concern is to bring to this
city, and the ultimate employment of
800 to 500 hands.
This extension is to be made possible
by the fine modern factory which the
concern is now erecting on the site on
Cleveland avenue of the building burned
last winter. The most modern equip
ment known to the trade will be in
stalled, and there will be ample space to
handle much larger volume of business
than was ever turned out in Rutland
heretofore.
The company proposes to ship to this
city the cotton cloth output of various
mills in Massachusetts and New Hamp-
shire and to have the cloth cut prepare
tory to reshipment to various factories
which the firm has in New York state
and in Pennsylvania.

CANNOT DEAL WITH MEN
WHO ARE ON STRIKE
Director General Hines of Railroad Ad-
ministration Declares That They
Must Resume Work OF Will
Hurt Union Cause.

Washington, D, c., Oct. l3.-Strikes Of
railroad employees such as that in the
Altoona, Pa, yards of the Pennsylvania
railroad, were declared to-day by Di-
rector General Hines as creating the
basis for the argument that il is non
sense to deal with labor organizations
because they viii not obey their own
rulers and, therefore, make the orderly
handling of business impossible"
The statement by the director general
was made in letter to b. NJ. Jewell,
acting president of the railway employees
Of the American Federation Of Labor in
regard to the Altoona strike. Mr.. Hines
reiterated that the railroad administra-
tons policy was that no grievance of
railroad employees could be considered
while the workers involved remained on
strike.
Emphasizing the senselessness of every
stoppage of work at the present time
when "the railroad administration is
straining every nerve to serve the people
of this country and the people of Eu-
rope" Mr. Hines requested that his
warning message be transmitted to the
strikers whose unauthorized strike, he
declared, was injuring the cause of or
ganized labor as well as the general
public.
