bAS|CMATER|ALS
F. may Be STABILIZED
Cut in Steel Commodities
4 Opens Way, Industrial
Board Believes.
LUMBERMEN MEET NEXT

With an agreement effected with
The steel men by which they under
take to reduce the prices of their
commodities from 10 to IA per cent.
the industrial board of the Depart
ment of Commerce believes that the
way is open for stabiliZation of the
price of all basic building materials.
The lumbermen will meet the board
tomorrow, when it is thought they
will come to a rapid and satisfactory
understanding.
Some expressed fear that the
agreement reached by the steel men
with the industrial board may be
viewed as in conflict with the anti
trust laws of the nation. This is not
taken seriously by the chairman,
George n. Peek. or his associates on
the board. Nevertheless, to make
certain that it has the sanction of
law for it's proceedings, the board has
asked Attorney General A. Mitchell
Palmer for an opinion.
Seek Opinion of Attorney General.
Mr. Peek with his associates waited
On MI diLitT dl Tue ICpdi VI
Justice this morning. They placed the
steel agreement before him and ask
ed that he make his views officially
known as quickly as possible. One
member of the board said Mr.. Palmer
had already given a verbal and un-
official opinion on the question of
whether the government in conjunc-
ton with industry could name de
pendable schedules of prices"
The Attorney General was said to
have supported the boards position.
The special steel committee wreStled
with the problem of price stabiliza-
ton until nearly midnight yesterday.
AT times it was thought that negotia-
lions would be broken off. Earlier in
tho day Chairman Peek was unofficial
1y asked whether in the event of the
steel committee agreeing to a sub
stantial reduction in prices the board
would recommend that labor be satis-
ned with reduced compensation.
Exactly what Mr.. Peek said in reply
is not recorded. Finally it was agreed
that even with labor at it's present
high level steel may be substantially
reduced without causing financial en-
harrassment to the sound concerns.
Pig Iron First to Be Reduced.
It was explained that there are
thirty-two articles in steel and steel
products. The committee began with
PAe iIoH, the raw material IOF steel,
which they consented to reduce by
IL per cent. This was the maximum.
Mr.. Peek said later he would have
the whole schedule ready for pub
ncatfon soon. 1t will mean a reduc-
don in gross income to the steel in
dustry of many millions of dollars annu-
ally. it was stated
But that is a small matter COM

ARMY: ALLOWANCES
ARE NOT HELD UP
Report of Suspension Exag.
gerated, Assistant Secre-
tary Shouse Says.

"a gross exaggeration'' was the
term applied to the report that more
than $4,000 Army allowances have
been suspended by the war risk in
surance bureau pending investigation
of claims by Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury Shouse today. He said
that while there were many cases
where allowances have been request
ed under investigation, it did not
reach any such total.
The bureau. he said. is up to date
with it's allowance checks, and that
allowances are going forward
promptly.
No word, so far as could be learned
at the Treasury Department today,
has been received from the President
regarding the request of Secretary
Glass that s3.0O0,O0O be set aside for
the bureau of war risk insurance out
of the Presidents $100.00O.000 emer-
gency fund. Secretary Glass is out

turn until Sunday. Any announce
cision probably will be withheld un-

Whatever the decision in this mat

will be found of financing the war
risk insurance bureau SO that the al
lowances to dependents of men in
the service will be promptly paid.

be disturbed.
Col. n. d. Lindsley's Statement.
Col. Henry D. Lindsey, director of
the bureau, last night gave out
statement in reply to charges of in
efficiency and extravaganza made by
Thomas r. Dawley, jr., a former en-
ploye. He said, in part:
The statements made by Thomas
r. Daw!ey. jr., in his published letter
to Secretary Glass of the Treasury
Department, dated March Is, 1919,
with reference to administrative mat
ters of the bureau of war risk in
surance. are without foundation.
Relative to this it may be stated
that Mr.. Dawley had a full hearing
by the assistant to the director of the
bureau. and in the presence Of Rep
resentative p. P. Campbell of Kansas
he presented his case very fully to
Mr.. Shouse. the assistant secretary of
the Treasury having jurisdiction over
the war risk bureau.
"Mr Dawley's resignation from the
bureau was requested because of his
utter unfitness."

Mrs. Evans. who is a stockholder

sentimental rather than substantial
The gentlemen's agreement on i'm
migration is working SO splendidly
between the United States and Japan
that practically there is now no ques-
ton of labor as between the two
countries. But this is not true of
other countries and my conviction is
that somehow there should be incor-
porated in the league Of nations con-
stitution the general principle which
underlies the question and which led
the United States and Japan while
recognizing the reciprocal rights of
the nationals of either country to
free entry nevertheless took steps to
protect the economic interests of
each.
"A declaration of racial equality
would be like a declaration that gov
afnment ought to rest on the consent
of the governed. a matter of simple

feel that the great principle of a

an association of powers seeking to
remove sources of friction and dis
ordinations that cause ill-feeling be-

"Certainly if discriminatory tariff
is a proper subject for national con-
cern, a discrimination not against
property. but against persnos is an
even more vital matter. Again, let
me say. 1 look for the friendly solu-
tion of this question when it is fully
understood on all Sides"
'No More Secret Treaties"
what is the significance Of the 30
called secret treaties between Japan
and China?"
There are no more secret treaties
I-all have been published. When China
published some of them, she did SO
without Japan's consent, as there had
been an agreement not to make them
public without one notifying the
other. Like the famous treasure box
of Chinese fable, however, when the
treaties were published there was a
surprise. for they did not contain any
thing strikingly new, or anything
