RED CROSS ISSUES
 PLEA THAT SALVAGE
 WORK BE CONTINUED
Warren District Residents Urged to Aid in Campaign
 for Clothes

The local chapter of the Red Cross is asking for salvage. In fact the members are thinking in terms of sal wage TOT it is important that Bisbee do it's part in the drive which is being waged throughout the Pacific division. Each household is a possible contribu- tor, that is there may be something in every house which could be given to the Red Cross and made a means of helping someone or bringing in some needed funds.
 The peace which is in sight is no closing chapter to Red Cross activi- ties. On the contrary it is a stimulant offering opportunities for service which have not been developed here tofore- Seven Red Cross shops have been opened in California since the signing of the armistice and greater activity than ever is urged that the needs may be met speedily and effici- ently.
 But some people do not know what is meant by salvage. So here is a brief list of the things which the Red Cross counts as salvage and for which the call is being sent out over this district as we'll as over the entire Pacific division. Salvage includes old books, bric-a-brac, clothing, hats, shoes for men, women and children, glass bottles, jars, household furnishings, jewelry, leather pillow tops, kid gloves, metals, tinfoil, horseshoes, rags and rubber. In short, anything and everything which can be devoted to greater usefulness or turned into money will be welcomed by the Req Cross.
 If you have any salvage and can not take it to the Red Cross shop yourself if it be clothing or if it be oth- CT salvage if you cannot take it to Mir. Woods, whose shop next to the B. l. warehouse is open every Thursday to receive it. Phone 426 and tell about your bundle. 4 committee of women under the leadership of Mrs. Gerald Sherman will see that the bundle is delivered to the proper place.
 The committee which is assisting iR the salvage drive includes, Mesdames Fisher, Frank Sinclair, Sutherland, O. N Alvin, J. H. Teufert, J. H. Hartman and J. ". r. Smith. The following are members of the committee on the Red Gross shop: Mrs. H. D. Ross, jr., Fred Juliff, F. $. Cundiff and Bartelle.

INDUSTRIAL BOARD
 AND STEEL MEN MEET
 TO REDUCE PRICES
Cost of Metal Products to Be Cut; Gray Leads
 Steel Delegation
CBy Review Leased wire)

WASHINGTON. March I9.-Initial steps toward bringing about a reduc- tion of prices and stabilization of the basic commodities were taken today at a conference of representatives of the steel industry with the depart ment of commerce's recently organ ized industrial board. The steel men, headed by E. H. Gary, chairman of the Iron & Steel Institute, met with the board, and later held a. separate con- ference. Another meeting with the board will be held tomorrow.
 The attitude of the steel manufac- turers toward, the boards proposals was not announced. The board, how ever, in statement issued after the joint conference said that while "an actual decision on a lowered scale of prices" had not been reached, "satis- factory progress had been made" Chairman Peek of the board was quoted as saying the steel men had shown an entire willingness to "co- operate in making effective any pro- gram that will hasten the return to normal conditions"
 It was generally understood that the actor of labor costs entered largely into the discussion by the manufactur- CTS of the boards proposals for stabil- ization of the industry and possible re iuction of prices.
 The statement issued by the board follows:
 After meeting with leaders of the iron and steel industry, representing approximately 90 per cent of the coun- try's production, the industrial board announced this afternoon that satis- factory progress had been made but that a final decision on a lowered scale of prices would not be reached until after full consideration of all phases of the subject"
