Railroad AdmInistrat .fused to
Accept Price Fixet Market
Is Now
Open

limited Press Leased Wire Service.
NEW YORK, May 9-The railroad
administration and the steel producers
failed In conference here late yes
tdDday to agree on price for steel.
AS result the steel market is wide
oren today and an increase in prices
iB expected to result from food of
orders which have been held back
waiting for definite price to be
agreed upon. The plan of Secretary
os Commerce Redf,eld to reduce living
costs by lowering prices-beginning
with steel-appears according to gen.
eral belief to have received a sharp
setback.
Secretary Redfield went about his
price stabiIizing scheme through the
medium of an Industrial board, which
conferred with steel producers and
then fixed steel rate satisfactory to
both sides. But the railroad admins.
tration refused to accept 1t, saying 1t
was not low enough.
Representatives Of the railroad ad-
n,inistration and the iron and steel
manufacturers met here for the pur'
pose Of trying to get together on q
price even lower than that fixed by
the industrial board, but no agreement
was reached. After the meeting e. II.
Gary OF the United States Steel cor
poration. issued statement declaring
the manufacturers could not reduce
their rates as the railroad administers
ton asked, without also reducing
wages.
Director General Hines also issued
g very long statement in which he
charged prices asked by steel interests
were as profitable to them as their
high war prices had been. due to the
fall Of cost of scrap material. He
said that the administration would pro
ceed to do its buying in open market
and that 1t would soon ask bids on
100000 tons of steel rails. Hines then
swung into general discussion of the
railroad situation and said that in
order to make effective regulations OF
roads possible after they are returned
to their owners. I'VE must get rid of
several hundred railroad companies,
some weak and some strong. We
must get few consolidated railroads
companies which will furnish a fair
average Of conditions throughout the
country
AS result Of the railroad admins
Il atoms refusal to accept the steel
rrice agreed on by the industrial board
and steel producers, followed by open.
ing up OF steel market by the rail
road administration, dissolution of the
industrial board is expected. It was
even reported that Secretary Redfield
might resign because his effort to
stabilize and lower living costs appar-
entity had been defeated by another
government agency.

scheduled for the afternoon session
today.
Lieut.. Col. Theo. Roosevelt de-
clined the chairmanship of the con-
vention late yesterday, because he
believed it for the god OF the Legion,
he declared today.
"I refused to accept the chairman
ship because 1t is my earnest belter
1t might hurt the Legion" he told
the United Press. ut has been said
time and again that the Legion is
being fostered by me TO further my
own personal ambitions. This is ab-
solutely untrue and declined to be-
come chairman in order to give as
much proof as lean to the fact that
this is non-partisan, nonpol1ticai
organization"
