Iron and Steel Review

Cleveland, March 13.-The Iron Trade Review says:
 New buying of iron and steel to the utmost degree is being held in suspense while D, oducers are preparing to carry into effect their decision to cooperate with the government in a concerted eff fort to stabilize trade conditions. Price reductions in various lines are regarded as assured by the rank and file of con- sumers, and the holding back of orders, except where guarantees against de- cline are given, is the natural reason of this belief.
 The sluggish condition of the marker prevailing for some weeks past accord ingly has been intensified. Circup1- stances compelling the postponement by a week of the conference between the committee representing the industry and the new industrial board of the depart ment of commerce premise to prolong this inactivity and uncertainty. A concrete example of the tactics of delay now being pursued by buyers is the action of the navy department in rejecting bids on 20,00) tons of steel for lat telships and fuel ship construct on recent = ly received and the rc-adVertisng o; this letting for a later date. Until the conference between the producers and the government representatives takes
 
 cooperative movement will be carried by the manufacturers in the way of price establishments must remain a mat ter of conjecture and thereby a factCr of further immediate unsettlement. IL is apparent that several questions remain to be clarified before any uniform and effective attempt to mark down values can be brought about.
 The element of labor cost the legal aspects of collective price decisions and the policy to be pursued toward the high CT cost producers are among the sur prses occasioned by the reversal of opin- ion by large faction of producers op- posed to the Redfield plan and brings forth the explanation that the govern ment proposal offers the only availa blc means to speedily effect in an order ly manner readjustment which had become inevitable.
 Greater weight is put by the industry upon the influence of a stabilized rather than a lower price level in the encour- agement of buying. Lower prices in conjunction with the gradual settling Of ocean freights promise to have a stim- ulating effect upon export trade which has continued to broaden slightly, but in a more encouraging fashion.
 Large sales are few. but there is heavier run of bookings of fair size to small tonnages. In this connection British competition because of wage ad- vances, labor troubles and home de mands appears less formidable.

Washington. March 13.-(Special0 Railroad discrimination. which sovern- ment control has not eliminated, is as much as any one other factor respon- sible for the nondevelopment of facto- ries for the fabrication of iron and steel in the south.
 This is the contention of o. l.. Bum. secretary of the Birmingham Traffic association, who has appealed to Wal ker b. Hines, director general of raii- roads. the interstate commerce com mission, Senators Bankhead and Cn : derwood and Representative Oliver or the Sixth district, for relief
 Mir. Bum makes out what appears to be an excellent case. He declares that on account of the existence or fabrication in transit rate, a rate which has long been in effect above the Mason and Dixon line, but never below that line, Cincinnati can buy raw material im Pittsburg, fabrfcate it in Birmingham and deliver it to Selma.
 The difference between the rates, &C., cording to Mir. Bum, represent the average profit, so that it would profit Birmingham nothing to fabricate iron and steel The situation is especially pertinent at the present time because the Birmingham Steel corporation is about to complete d plant, represent ing an investment of $L000,000, for the purpose of fabricating iron and steel Mir Bum sends figures to Washington proving that the Birmingham plant will be a disadvantage in competing with northern and eastern rivals when deliveries are to be made not only at Selma, referred to above, but at every other city in every southern state.
 This Fabrication in transit rate is simply the through rate not effected by the necessity of stoppage and hold ing during the ia brication process. It is understood that the Birmingham Steel corporation, before it undertook to operate, was given to understand that it would be given identical rights with it's com )etitors.
 Mir. Bum states that he presented the situation, through F.. o. deFuniak,

RED TAPE AND
 GERMAN HELMETS

Washington. March 1S.-(Special) There has been a recent demonstra- tion of red ta"s. General PershiIg sent S5.000 captured German helmets to the United States to be used in con- nection with the next Liberty Loan drive. Some technical lawyer declared that the government could not give away property of warlixe character Some other technical lawyer declared | that the government could give away property of such character provided it was without value"
 It was thereupon necessary for the 1 learned men to decide whether or moi the helmets were valuable. It was deemed req sonably certain that they were. It was therefore necessary that 1 the government sell them. This the government did. Frank Wilson publicity man for the loan drive bought them for s1. He is their pos sessor. It will be Wilson who gives
 them to the people and not the govern ment.
 But the lawyers carried their point, just the same

EPUBLICANS PLAN
 RAILROAD RELIEF

Washington. March 13-tSpecia. ] Railroad legislation will be attempted early in the extraordinary session and a bill, with remedial features. provid- ing for the restoration of property to private owners will be enacted. it IS indicated. before the completion of the session
 Senator Cummns of Iowa and Rep resentatiVe Esch of Wisconsin, chair men. respectively. of the two inter- state commerce committes of Congress. have bills ready for presentation. l. is significant that neither provides for an extension of government con trol or government ownership. Y seems to be the desire of Congress 10 restore the property at the earliest possible date. but not before laws are written which will protect the proper ty and eliminate probs bility of busi- ness panic.
 Government control is apparently unpopular in Congress and throughout the country. The published statement that in December the Pennsylvania with 10000 more employees than ever be- fore. did less business than in any other December for T. years previous, has had it's effect

May Keep Railroads For .
Another Year, Is Belief

Some railroad men, who peheVe
that the railroads will be returned
to private ownership, express the
opinion that the United States rail-
road administration will not go out
of existence for at least year from
January 1, 1920, the date accepted
commonly as the end of the govern
ment control. 1t is pointed out that
it will take year, and probably two
years. for the railroad administ ration
to wind up it's affairs. During TINS
period, however, it would not nave
any authority over the railroads.
Inventories are being taken IN al
initial line offices, and all ofhciais
and clerks have been instructed TO
have this work finished not later
than December 81. Another straw
that indicates the trend of the wind
is the warning issue to railroads to
keep intact their rate functions,
which is accepted by railroad men
as another reason why they believe
that the government will return the
railroads to private ownership on
January 1. Railroad men frankly
state that they will feel relieved
when the roads are returned to their
owners,

Railroad Reserve Force
Is Senator Thomas Plan

3. A bill of introduction by Senator
Thomas of Colorado just before the
Senate adjourned on November 19
provides for the creation of rail-
road army reserve force of 100000
men to be trained at land grant agri-
cultural colleges for service on the
railroads in times of emergency. Men
between IS and 80 years of age will
be eligible for enlistment, but not
for re-enlist tment. - The term of en-
listment would be for ten years with
a provision for twelve months train
ing for work as train operatives,
hostlers or telegraph operators, and
during the training period the men
would receive regular army pay.
If in time of emergency they were
put to work on railroads they would
receive the usual railroad pay, but
would be barred from having any
connection with a labor union.
