Of STEEL
HELD DOWN SAYS
EBERT \. CARY


Nv NONN'NN JOuNNAL AhhstD VIM
New, York, April 19.--Elbert II,
Gary, chairman Of the United
States Steel corporation Informed
the stockholders at the annual
meeting in Hobuken today that the
corporation was holding down the
price of its products because of the
high cost of living.
Referring TO inquiries made by
stockholders as to why in view Of
the great demand, the cost of pro-
, duCtion ana prices received by 9TH
er manufacturers, the prices Of the
corporations products has not
been raised above those fixed by
agreement between the industrial
board and steel manufacturers on
March 81, 1919, h said:
1T seems to us the problem Of
high cost Of living is of convincing
importance, when the increasing
tendency is to insist upon payment
of unreasonable sums for every
commodity and for every service,
so that the vicious whirl of ad-
vancement seems to be amending, we
| think there is moral obligation
on the part Of everyone to use all
reasonable efforts to check this
carnival of the greed and imposi-
ton even at some sacrifice.
There is a growing discrepancy
between different individuals and
interests. The man with a fixed in

"CHAMBERLAIN BILL"
SHOULD BE SUPPORTED
SAYS GOOD ROADS MAN

The Chamberlain bill, which is
pending before congress, should be
supported by everyone" says T.. S
Wheeler of the good roads bureau.
1T gives considerable aid to the
state, and will assist more in open
ing up New Mexico than any other
bit of legislation at this time can
possibly do"
Nj, Wheeler pointed out that the
Chamberlain bill, through an ar
rangement by which all public
domains and forest service reserve 5
are taken care of and the remand
er of the state divided in half, the
state receives federal aid in pro-
portion of something over &C 23
per cent.
Formerly the state has borne 80
per cent of the cost Of road build
ing, but by this bill for $1,OO0,OOO
in the state fund the federal aid
will contribute $2,l50,O00, or for
every $31.75 expended by the state
the cooperative federal aid will
pay $6S.25.

be under way shortly are, the Nav

MORE BUNK THAT

AMONG LABORERS
Article DiSapprOved of BY
Members of Brotherhood
! Running Out on AIbuquer-
que and WinSIOW Division

According to reports from all
division points, the coast lines Of
the Santa Fe railroad are now
practically clear as far as the re
cent strike is concerned. Striking
gWItchmen and members of the
brotherhood who walked out it IS
understood. were threatened by the
'sBig Four" with being Outlawed
and suffer the loss of their senori-
ty rights unless they complied with
the demands of their chiefs. To
what extent the road suffered by
reason of the walkOut is not known
and probably will not be, but one
thing is certain, the brotherhoOds
have Cemented a strong friendship
with the railroad officials on aC-
count of the stand taken by them.
Such assertions as the following,
from the Gallup Independent.
which have been pronounced by
railway men running from Gallup
to Albuquerque as bunk, and keeps
only unintelligent persons stirred
up and prolong the unrest that is
crippling enterprise. cutting men
out of steady employment and
wages because of the strikes and
retarding general business which
conservative railway organizations
are endeavoring to keep going
The Gallup Independent heretofore
has been making assertions Of
about the same caliber as this:
There will be no strike of yard
men or switchmen in the Gallup
yards, according to adyiCes given
out by local men in connection with
the strike situation. The strike is
branded as a sabotage movement
by big business to pun the wool
over the eyes of the public, and an
attempt to disrupt the railroad
labor organizations. 1t is believed
here that the strike was instituted
by market manipulators and old
line railroad officials.
"A man purporting to he a rep
resentative of the switChmen ar
rived in Gallup the first of tho

John Grunau is called the spark

railroad strike, now spreading and
threatening to tie up the nation.
A. T.. Whitney, vice president or
the brotherhood of Railway Train
men, says Grunau, leader of the
newly formed Chicago Yardmen's
association, served notice on him
as early as December 9, that if the
brotherhood did not call strike
or force the issue and bring about
a wage settlement, he would irsti-
tute a new organization. 1t is al
legged that the strike was ordered
as a protest against Grunau being
removed as conductor of a train
running out of Chicago.

BRITISH CABINET
MEETS TO DISCUSS
IRISH SITUATION

London, Sept. 3o.-Members of
the British cabinet met today to dis
cuss the situation in Ireland and to
learn from General Sir Frederic Nevil
MacReady, commander of military
forces there, details of conditions on
the island. 1t was forecast that it
was likely the cabinet would require
an explanation from the commander
of a recent interview which has been
interpreted by the newspapers here
as tcondoning reprisals by "black and
tan" police.
British newspapers are clamoring
for an authoritative government state
ment as to it's policy regarding re-
prisals in Ireland, and consider the
Mac Ready interview and a later
statement by Sir Hamar Greenwood,
chief secretary for Ireland, as being
absolutely irreconcilable. Several
journals maintai that If the govern
ment policy does not coincide with
that of Sir Frederick. he should be
recalled.

WILL
ELECT ASSEMBLY
ON. OCTOBER II

Vienna, Oct. 1.-Just three weeks
before the presidential ballot in
America, Austria will elect on Octo-
Der II a new national assembly and
the campaign is now OF the top of
the curve.
Beginning with the recess Of par
lament the W dominant parties,
cial Democrats, went on the stump
and the contest is waging with all the
bitterness and ~reproach, recrimina-
ton, charges and counter charges
that are the natural outcome of an
enforced coalition government which
failed to. satisfy the mass of either
party. on the one side are grouped
the radical elements and ON the 9TH
err, under the general title of Chris
tian Socialists. all the conservative
factions hat range from real democ-
.racy along moderate western lines to
monarchists.
In the center stands the Crosse
Deutsche party. Broadly it is group
ed with the Conservatives, but Its
course in the present assembly has
been to vote this way and that on
it's strong balance of power In the
house and to strengthen it's hands IN
the coming elections by an appeal TO
both factions.
The, assembly now stands 70 Chris-
tian Socialists, 81 Social. Democrats
and 26 Crosse Deutsche- deputies.
Political observers generally agree
that the complexion Of the next as
sembly:: will not be materially altered
and that another coalition ministry
must be looked for. They. predict
that both the big parties viii! lose
slightly. to the Crosse Deutsch CIV
ing it a position of greater .advantage
and strength in a new coalition min
tistry than it has yet enjoyed.
General opinion is that in such an
event the Crosse Deutsche group Will
ally itself wholly with the right in all
important measures and issues. Thi;
is conceded by the election appeal OF
the Socialists which joins the Chris
Itian Socialist and Crosse Deutsche
parties in blame for the failure OF
the present government to pu'

Canada's great soft coal mining dis

Use the mine owners protection of the

It appears that the mine owners

The United Mine Workers have or

this is not granted the operators
