WASHINGTON, March 22-Lumber
next to steel as basic building ma
terial is to come under the price cut
ting knife today.
Representatives of the lumber in
dustry, together with the industrial
board are planning to lower price
schedules in much the same fashion
as the steel men, The lumber market
has shown as much stagnation as
steel, because of the inactivity in
building and the representatives have
assured the board they are anxious
to fix schedules that will put in mo-
ton vast building projects now be-
ing held up.
+ The substantial slash in steel prices
is taken by trade experts as indica-
tive of the reductions that must come
in other lines. With the board in
sisting that all wage agreements and
sch edules stand in spite of price re-
ductions, it is clear that prices can
not be sent to pre-war levels at this
time.
But steel is regarded as a barometer
and it is believed lumber and other
prices will be reduced in about the
same proportion which averaged
about twenty-five per cent below the
war figures.
Lumber, however, did not increase
during the war quite as much as steel
and the lumber men are believed to
be prepared to insist on somewhat
smaller reductions. Labor is a big
factor in their industry, they point
out. and they are planning to submit
Tn mr. a
big slashes cannot be made now.
But John H Kirby, head of the
lumber mems delegation, has tchd the
board he realizes reductions must be
made and that the industry is willing
to make all adjustments possible.
Meanwhile the various industries
being called into conference with the
board are being given assurance that
the price-fixing agreements reacheo
are not in violation or antitrust laws
Yyhile no public statement has been
made by the board, the schedule OF
steel prices was held up yesterday un-
til after members conferred with At
torney General Palmer and this ls
taken to indicate that Palmer has
given his approval to the plan.
The board emphasizes in state
ment on the steel situation that its
work is an effort to effect cooper,

and therefore will endeavor to strike
a balance which, while calling sooner

Regarding efforts to reduce wages,

wage rates or agreements will not be
interfered with, the approved prices
