STEEL DISPUTE
UP TO WILSON
President Called Upon to
End Department Contro-
versy Over Prices.

With the Industrial Boards pro-
gram for lower prices on COM
modities set at naught" by the re-
fusal of Director General Hines to
accept the steel prices, President
Wilson has again been appealed to
by the board to decide which agency
shall prevail.
To Send Cable.
The President will be called upon,
through cablegram signed jointly
by Chairman Peek of the Indus
trial Board, and Secretary Redfeld
to decide whether the board shall
disband or continue 'quiescentIy'
until the President returns, Rednelu
announced yesterday.
Until the President replies the
board will make no further efforts at
price adjustment, it was stated. Red
field believes that Hines has COM
mitted a social and patriotic error
in refusing to meet the boards prices
and he has so declared in a letter to
Secretary Glass, it developed yester-
day. It is understood the Peek-Red-
field cablegram to the President
strongly voices their views on the
situation.
Previous efforts to obtain a decis-
ion from the President have brought
the advices that he prefers to let the
whole controversy be settled without
his taking a hand.
Director General Hines has cabled
the President a full report OF his
views in the controversy over steel
prices with the industrial board, it
was stated at the White House.
The appeal OF Peek for presidential
support of his position has not yet
been received at the White House for
1t is believed that the
board will ask Bernard NJ. Baruch,
former chairman OF the War Indus
tries Board and now in Paris, to per-
sonally place its case before President
Wilson.

RESTORE CASINO At osrEso
Famous Pleasure q s-rt, Devastatea
BY Huns. 10 ee:E3-Rapldiy Put
In Good Condition.

After nearly Eve years OF war Ossend
is resuming ordinary life. as far as pos
sible under present conditions with
the reopenlng Of the famous casino,
says the Pail Mall Gazette.
Less than twelve weeks ago, says q
Reuter- telegram. the great salons OF
the casino were a scene Of devastation
and wanton destruction. Although oc.
eupying so prominent a position on
the sea front. the buildings themselves
escaped the constant bombarsiment
from sea and air that has transformed
50 many OF the beautiful hotels and
villas along the Digue into heaps OF
rubble. and the use Of nine tons Of
glass has repaired all the damage thus
occasi0ned. but the Germans showed
their usual thoroughness In cutting and
defiling the salons themselves.
Every stick OF furniture was taken
away. beautiful tapestries were slashed
aud torn by German bayonets and
every mirror In the halls was removed
together with the copper candelabra
In the salons and the beautiful copper
staircase.
Not content with robbery. the Ger
mans defiied the rooms In nameless
ways and. In fact. left the whole place
In state that would have shamed any
animal inhabiting stable. But since
February q miracle has been wrought
and but for the fact that some OF the
more valuable fittings are at present
only temporarily replaced by Imitation.
there win be no evidence OF the war.
