ment and reform. which reported to
the assembly at the opening of the
session that il had found no evidence
o: any startling nature. and recon-
mended that the accounts be canvassed
by the executive council. as provided
by law.
A minority report signed by Pierce

Secretary Clum is now in Des

upon the proposed investigation.

BIG QUESTION INVOLVED IN ROW
BETWEEN HINES AND WAR
INDUSTRIES Board.
DIRECTOR GENERAL MAY
FORCE LOWER PRICES
Cost Of Living to Every Individual In.
directly Involved in Controversy
Over Steel ,and Government Price
Fixing Program, Promises to BE
Knocked Sky High.
IBy.E. G. Dougherty.J

Washington April s.-The entire
question of maintaining the present or
virtually the war scale of wages and
prices is involved in the fight now ON
between Director Genera of Railroads
Walker e. Hines and the Industrial
board. The Industrial board, which is
under the department of commerce,
is backed in its attempt to fix the price
of steel rails at s47 per ton for open
hearth and S45 ton for Beasemer by
Secretary Of the Treasurer Glass. Sec
rotary Of Commerce Redfield and pre-
sumably Secretary of War Baker.
The nub Of the situation lies in the
accuracy OF the assertion OF the steel
men that the new prices as stated are
as low as possible in view Of present
conditions, and especially with wages
at the present standard.
Director General Hines has made no
statement that he wishes to force a
reduction of wages in the steel in
dustry in order to get the lower prices
on which he is insisting. On the con-
trary ne thinks that the reductions can
be made without any lowering Of
wages. The interesting point, how
ever, is that fight has been started.
which, if successful, at least lays the
groundwork for reduction of both
wages and the cost of living,
Heading For Trouble.
In the opinion of his opponents here
Mr.. Hines is heading the country--if
he persists IN his present course
straight for severe labor troubles.
1t is not expected here that labor will
submit tameiy to any reduction in the
present scale of wages, but there are
a number of interesting possibilities
ifvolyed in the fight now on over steel
prices.
One of the influences moving Mr..
Hines to- make this fight for lower
prices for steel rails is good illustra-
ton of the possibilities in the situa-
ton. Some of the railroad companies.
under contracts made three years ago,
or more. are actually buying rails
from the steel companies at $50 ton.
So Mr.. Hines thinks the price of rails
should have been fixed in the S36
instead Of about $40
a ton higher, as the industrial board
did.
Now the steel men say that rails can
not possibly be produced at that fig
ure with wages as high as they are.
What they think will happen is that
If the deadlock between the railroad
administration and >tha inductriai
board continues, Mr.. Hines win soon
be picking up odd lots of rails from
some of the small plants which are
not bothered with unionized labor, and

which can therefore produce ~ oo0os
thing like tho old figures. - that
there would be plenty Of work for the
mills which reduced wages but no
work Mt all, practically. for those which
maintained the present wage scale.
which continues, If nothing Is done to
break 1t up. would result in forcing
eventually the reduction OF wages In
all mills back to the level at which
rails could be produced at $50 q ton at
q profit.
This would start an endless chain OF
lowering wages and prices, II Is point
ed out, even before the larger mills
were forced to the wage reduction
point. The unorganized mills, which
could meet Mr.. Hines views on prices,
would be shopping" vigorously for
their pig iron or ore, and for their
coal and coke. With the deadlock M
Washington paralyzing the big milfsl
there would be so little market for
these supplies that the unorganized
mills would probably be able to break
down first prices and then wages In
those Industries, and the endless chain
would soon be in full operation.
Defeating Main Idea.
Meanwhile Director General Hines
has attacked the coal problem just as
he has the steel, and Is having, appar-
antly, for the present at least, more
success.
All of which Is defeating the main
idea OF the price fixing scheme OF the
industrial boa-d, which was to have
the operators and the government vir-
tually agree on price which would be
fair to everybody, then have the gov
eminent step in with big purchases
thus encouraging a resumption OF bust
ness as usual. It was thought Othat
with the government buying oOo,ooo
tons of steel rails-she present actual
requirements Of the railroad admin
stration-the Industrial companies, es-
pecially automobile manufacturers,
builders, and others would feel assured
that at least there had come a settle
ment of prices which swould enable
them to go ahead without fear that
they would be suddenly caught with
a lot Of high cost gopds on hand, In
face of a falling market.
Which explains, to some extent why
there is SO much interest in Washing
ton in the present battle between MT.
Hines and other government agencies
over the price of steel rails.
