SEE new CRISIS IN !,
STEEL PRICE ROW

Belief persisted in official circles
today that a new crisis would arise
in the Industrial Board-RailrOad Ad'
Eninistration controversy over steel
prices. Speculation was based on
whether the steel producers commit
tee would come to Washington for
further conference in view Of Director
General Hines resent statements that
the prices would have to be con
Hiderably lower"
Hines has said the prices on rails
IN which the Railroad Administration
s. chiefly concerned-represen at
least 50 per ton, on open hearth steel
more than he believed justified. The
industrial board had set a price OF
S45 a ton on that grade.
Chairman Peek OF the board, how
ever, is known to have put the Hines
Iigures to the steel men at meeting
IN New York ten days ago. He returned
ed from that meeting with the an
nouncement that the steel committee
declined to consider. reduction fur
ther than had been conceded when
the original schedule was made pub
lie.
II the steel producers committee
clings to it's figures, officials here
could see little prospect Of an agree
ment when Hines meets the commit
tee personally. -

TRADE OPPORTUNITIES OPEN TO BIRMINGHAM

Washington. December 5.-(Special.)-W C. Adams, Birmingham coal operator, interviewed by a reporter of the Wash ington Post, is quoted regarding Bir- mingham and Mobile opportunities as follows:
 sThere is a market in Latin-America for all the coal that the United States can ship, and exporters now have a splendid opportunity to take over the trade formerly held by European coun- tries. Europe is unable to meet its own fuel need, and South America must look to th4 United States for it's supplies.
 English, Welsh and Australian fuel ard, before the war, German, coal has been used almost exclusively in South . A America. Of the American coal which has been acceptable to South America. that from some of the West Virginia mines las been the most popular. but Alabama coal could be marketed most profitably in I-atin-America There need not be any extensive educational cam paign to obtain this market. I believe that a very little coaching as to meth ods Of firing would be all that Is neces- sary.
 .'The shipping board has promised American exporters that they will be protected in the matter of rates in com petition with England. Germany and other nations. When the reconstruction situation clears up, therefore, there will be situation most favorable to Aineri- can exporters. However, only limited number of vessels have been aliocated to coal. and there are not many bottoms available. There are better facilities at New Orleans than at Mobile, but Mobile is the logical port for us for several req sons. There is differential of 4o cents pe' ton on coal to New Orleans. and New Orleans, moreover, is no miles from the sea. whereas Mobile is only 30 miles up a great bay.
 "The only storage facilities at Mobile rcw are Ia,!road cars. on which heavy demurrage must be paid if they are left unloaded beyond few days time. Ala bama operators, producing coal of aual- ity suitable for export. have agreed that if the government will install the neces- sary storage and loading facilities at Mobile they will organize an export com pany and lease the facilities at a rental sufficient to cover a reasonable interest on the money expended and reasonable depreciation.
 This would be a long step in clinchins the Latin-American coal market for the United Statea"
