REOPEN STEEL TALK
Refusal of Hines To Accept Prices
Holds Up the Matter.

Washington, April 3.-Refusal yes
terday of Director General Hines of
the railroad administration to accept
fixed prices of steel as suggested by
the industrial board of the department
of commerce may possibly result in
the entire question of steel prices be-
ing reopened, it is believed in some
quarters here.
Announcement that Mr.. Hines had
rejected the proposed price schedule
was made after an unsuccessful con-
ference of members of the cabinet,
the industrial board and representa-
tives of the food and fuel administra-
tons and war finance corporation
held in an effort to effect an agree
ment between the Industrial board
and the railroad administra ton heads.
After the conference which lasted
more than four hours a statement was
issued in which it was stated the mat
ter had been recommitted to the board
for further consideration with the rail-
road administration. Meetings of the
two organizations are expected to be
arranged today. The board will at
tempt to show the railroad authori-
ties that the prices agreed upon are
not excessively high.

KANSAS IS AHEAD
Building of Community Houses
in the State Is Growing.
Requests for Plans Are Coming
In to X. S. A. C. Department.

Manhattan, Kan, April 3.-The
movement to erect community houses
as memorials to soldiers and sailors is
spreading rapidly over Kansas. Wal
ter Burr, director of the rural service
department, Kansas State Agricul-
tural college, is receiving numbers of
requests for suggestions and plans and
specifications.
THE community house movement
where properly organized, is to be
mostly highly commended" said Mr.
Burr. These social service stations
are certainly much better as memoir
ials than marble shafts would be. 1t
has been feared by some that there is
danger in this movement in that it
will proceed as a fad and result in the
erection of a number of poorly
equipped, mismanaged buildings.
which will be perpetual problems in
the communities when the war en-
thusiasm has passed. Such a calamity
can be avoided by following certain
methods in financing. erection and
maintaining of these buildings.
On Taxation Basis.
I'm the average Kansas community
the building should be financed on the
taxation basis. This is the only demo-
cratic way to handle community enter
prise. 1t is unfair to place the burden
of financing such an institution upon
the shoulders of a few enterprising
citizens who might donate the money.
wherever possible the project
should be developed on the basis of
bond issue for a new school build
ing, or where such a building is not
needed, for an added building on the
school grounds.
Keep Man All Time.

must be the voting of a sufficient
salary to some member of the school
