Independents in Fauor
of Open, Uncontrolled
Iron and Steel Market

Leading Independent makers stated
yesterday that they were unreservedly
in favor of an open and uncontrolled
market for iron and steel. Their views
are expected in the trade to be adopted
shortly as result Of the rejection by
the railroad administration of the
price schedule agreed upon between
the Industrial Board at Washington
and the general committee of the
American Iron and Steel Institute.
Whether the expected adoption of
the open market plan would be followed
by wage reductions was a question on
which no one in the trade would hazard
guess. Some asserted, however, that
the lifting Of all price limitations
seems to be the only method by which
business can resume on a normal basis
A leading independent steel manufact-
urcr said:
"My opinion is that an open market
for steel is the best way to start
buying movement. And once that is
begun the law of supply and demand
will automatically solve the price
problem"
An official of another independent
steel company declared that the rail
road administration was pursuing
short-sighted policy in refusing to
accept the price schedule approved
by the Industrial Board of the De-
partment of Commerce.. He predicted
that once a buying movement for steel
products got under way the impetus
might be followed by an increase in
prices that would result in the govern
ment's being forced to pay more for
steel rails than the Industrial Boards
figures, which are S45 ton for Bes-
semer rails and SAT a ton for open
hearth rails.
The United States Steel Corporation
yesterday reported untitled orders
amounting to 5,430,572 tons on its
books March 81. This was not only
decline of 5S0,215 tons from the total
at the end of February, but was the
smallest tonnage reported since Sep
tember, 1915. Bookings reached their
peak in April, 1917, with total of
IL. 1S3,083 tons. The aggregate falling
Oft since November, the month in which
the armlstice was signed, is 2,694,O91
tons.

Ouintard Dies Following
Fall on Theatre Roof
Defendant in Many Broadway
Lawsuits Fractures Skull in
Five-FOot Drop

George W. Quintard, one of the most
spectacular figures on Broadway, died
at the Manhattan Square Sanitarum,
36 West Seventy seventh Street, ycster-
day following a fall he suffered earlier
in the day on the New amsterdam Roof,
in West Forty second Street He was
thirty-two years olU.
Mr.. Quintard lost his balance as he
was walking up the iron steps leading
to the roof garden, and, falling dis
tance of five feet, suffered a fractured
skull. He did not recover conscious
ness and died few nours after his ar
rival at the sanitarlum.
Mr.. Quintard inherited fortune of
$1,000, 900 in 1908 from his father,
James w. Quintard. He was married
twice. In August, 1914, Mr.. Quintard
was sued for breach of promise by Miss
Jane Sutherland. She demanded S25 900.
In 1915, Miss Dorothy Dalland brought
a similar action. Mr.. Quintard was then
sued for S65,721 for the payment of
jewelry.
Mr.. Quintard enlisted and served in
France for several months with an ar
tillery unit.
Mr.. Quintard maintained his famous
kennels at Auburndale, Long Island,
where he developed a group of show
dogs, especially fox terriers, which are
regarded as among the best in the world.

WASHINGTON, April 1O.-President

versy between the railroad administra-
tion and the Department Of Commences
industrial board, which was brought to
head late to-day by the definite and
final refusal of Director General Hines
to accept the new steel price schedule
approved by the board after confer
ences with the steel industry.
This announcement was made in a
statement issued for the Industrial
Board by its chairman, George N. Peek,
after the director general had made
public his final decision. The open
break between the two government
agencies came after Mr.. Hines and
Chairman Peek had conferred for about
an hour
Mr.. Hines based his refusal to ac-
ccpt the prices on the grounds that the
prices were "too high" that the indus
trial board had no power to impose it's
schedule on the railroad administra-
tion and that the restoration of indus
