At STEEL PRICES
TRUST ON THEM
Also Intimate Return to
Competitive Coal Buy

Washington, April 2-The railroad
the steel prices agreed upon by the in
dustry and the industrial board of the
Department of Commerce
Attempts to reach an understanding
between the administration and the board
failed at four-hour session of cabinet
members and heads of government pur-
chasing agencies, and the entire matter
was recommitted to the board for further
consideration.
Railroad administration officials in
timated, today, that return to the old
road coal contracts might be the out
come of the attempt of mine operators
to force the administration to pay the
same prices for its fuel as the public.
Price scale agreed upon by the operators
and the industrial conference board of
the department of commerce is not
acceptable to the administration.
Director General Hines. just returned
from an inspection tour, has begun con-
sideration of the controversy.
During the war. the railroad admins
tration. in many instances, purchased
fuel at market prices because of desire
to stimulate production. but now since
that necessity has passed, the contention
is made that the railroads are entitled
to reductions formerly given by the coal
oterators because of the immense par-
chases and the elimination of a great
part Of the marketing expense In selling
to railroads.
