New York, April 20.-Elbert H.
Gary, chairman of the United States
Steel Corporation informed the stock
holders at he annual meeting in
Hoboken today that the corporation
was holding down the prices Of its
products because of the high cost OF
living.
Referring to inquiries made as to
why, in view Of the great demand, the
cost of production and prices receiv-
ed by other manufacturers, the prices
of the corporations products had not
been haised above those fixed by
agreement between the industrial
board and steel manufacturers on
March 81. 1919 he said.
"It seems to us the problem Gi
cost of living is Of convincing i'm
portance. When the increasing
tendency is to insist upon payment Of
unreasonable sums for every COM
modify and for every service so that
the vicious whirl Of advancement
seems to be unending we think there
is a moral obligation Of the part OF
every one to use all reasonable efforts
to check this carnival Of greed and
imposition even at some sacrifice.
There is growing discrepancy be-
tween individuals and interests. The
man with a fixed income Is more and
more disadvantaged and he Is help
less. He cannot increase his income
to meet the increased cost Of living
Therefore, it should be the effort Of all
to establish and maintain reason
able basis Of prices certainly to pre-
vent further Increases otherwise the
government, from the standpoint CT
protection OF apart of the public must
interfere.
The attitude of the corporation on
prices. Mr.. Gary added" has consider
able influense in preventing increases
in the general selling prices of steel
although some manufacturers have
made them due as they claim to in
crease cost of manufacture. "More-
over. it is believed in view Of all the
conditions prevailing the selling
prices Of most Of the diversified pro-
ducts of the corporation for the pre-
sent, at least. are high enough
though it is pertinent to say that
when tn actual value of the proper

The fundamental procedure In boil

carly crop Of cotton is very necessary
in weevil years. Minor operations
are profitable under favorable coudh
tions. such as handpioking OF fallen
squares and collecting Of punctured
squares and bolls. These may BE-
advantageously practiced where Ia
Dor is cheap and available, for e1'

families with a number OF children
that can be employed.
The latest development in weevil
control IS poisoning, but this method
is yet In the experimental stages. Tho
work so far done has been on Mis-.
sissippi Delta plantations and the re-
suits secured are most promising.
While 1t is not expected that this
method will ever eradicate the pest,
vet viewing the results so far secured

poisoning, the prospects are very
promising that this method Is to de-

the various details that present them
selves on the different plantations
outside Of the Mississippi Delta will
be worked out so that a definite and
logical system Of poisoning can be
recornm ended. Under any conditions,
poisoning in this state in 1920 should

With reference to Senator Capper's

Charles !. corby today made the fol-
lowing statement for the Corby Baking

due to the increase in cost of materials
and labor. an advance in the price of
our breads became necessary. On ac-
count OF war conditions we wished to
have the price which we should get
for bread determined by our federal
government. as well as our local food
administration.
"In response to our request for an
increase in the price Of bread On July
%, 1918. the Federal Trade Commits
sion and the local food administration
came to our plant with their auditors
and audited our books to determine
our costs and fixed the price for which
We were to sell bread We wish to
state that the price which was al
lowed US has netted us per cent
profit less than we enjoyed before the
war.
I'VE were again forced to ask for
an increase in the price Of bread. due
to the increase in cost Of materials
and labor. Stin believing that some
department Of the United States gov
ernment should determine what our
price should be, we went to the De-
partment of Justice to ask for an in
crease The Department Of Justice
put the naming of the price into the
lands of the local fair price COM
mittee who determined that we were
entitled 10 an increase. which in
crease they set.
we believe the price which they set
was fair, but the Corby Baking Com
pany wants the Congress OF the
United States. and the people of
Washington TO know that we court a
! thorough investigation into our
profits.
"It is the wish of the corby Baking

ment to keep the cost Of living at its
very lowest possible ebb.
! Before the investigation into the
price of bread in Washington the
corby Baking Company wishes to
state to the Congress OF the United
