These conclusions, of course, are

Mr.. Bush takes issue with those who

wellbeing depends OF export trade.
Nations" he said, "like individuals,
can compete industrially only upon q

is used We can produce better and

Mr.. Bush has an idea that has not been

II think if we adopted some such
policy to our debtor nations, reducing
the interest charges upon an agreement
to budget their expenditures properly

Gary, Back From

Steel Price Cut
Head of U. S. Corporation
Will Not Discuss Rumors:
Steel Untitled Tonnage
Shows Heavy Decrease

Ebert II. Gary. chairman of the
United States Steel Corporation, upon
his arrival in New York Yesterday
from trip by water via the Panama
Canal to the Pacific Coast and then
back East by rail, declined to comment
On the reports of impending price and
wage reductions at the plants of the
corporation.
Il have nothing to say" replied
Judge Gary to the inquiries Of re-
porters who met him as he and Mrs.
Gary stepped from the Twentieth Cen
tury Limited at the Grand Central Ter
mlnal yesterday morning. The head OF
the Steel Corporation, howe, err. was
IN pleasant frame Of mind and looked
bronzed and tanned from his vacation.
which lasted about month. He did
not go to his Office but is expected
there Monday, when it is expected that
ne may make some 2rorouncement re-
gardlng the corporations policies.
Despite the continued silence Of
Judge Gary the financial district and
the iron and steel trade believe that
the Steel Corporation will announce a
cut in prices within the near future.
That this will be accompanied by wage
reductions is considered matter OF
course. In view OF the recent action
of several important Independents in
raising their quotations for bars,
shapes and plates it is stated in some
quarters of the trade that the cor
poratlon will cut to the new level of
the Independents, who have been
underselling the leading factor prac-
tically si-ace the first of the year.
Price cuts by the Independents have
aft To- ho g
Steel Cooperation to acquire new bust
ness under its higher quotations. This
was reflected yesterday IN another
heavy drop in untitled orders at the
closing G the books on March 81. Tn
filled tonnage on that date stood at
6,284, 765 tons, the lowest total since
Septe.ner, 1919. The decrease as com
pared with the bookings on hand the
last of February was 649,1O2 tons. In
March year ago upflled orders
amounted. to 1880 tons.
The decline in bookings has been
continuous since July, 1920, when or
ders on hand were 11,11S,46s tons.

more. composed, as the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Engineers and the Order Of
Railway Conductors are, of older men
VINO have served an apprenticeship in
train service of from five to six wears
and who are filling positions of con-
siderable responsibility and trust. they
nave the reputation of being conserva-
tive, compared with labor unions gen
orally. Their officers are in general
responsible men with an intimate
knowledge of the subjects with which
they deal in negotiation with railroad
arrangements and with some knowledge
and respect for basic economic prln-
ciples. The Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen and Enginemen and the
brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen are
composed of younger men with q
greater proportion of radicals, but,
nevertheless. representative of the bet
ter class of American working men and
with u sense of responsibility. The
yardmen are eligible for membership
in the Trainmens Brotherhood When
a man gets promoted from fireman to
engineman he is supposed to go into
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers and for many years this was the
common practice. The tiremens' or
ganization, however, permits a man to
remain thefeln after pr0mOtlon TO en-
gineman. Insurance rates are higher
in the enginemen's organization than
in the firemen's organization, because
of course, the membership is five or
six years older on the average, and for
this reason in recent years a consider
able proportion of the fremen who
have been promoted have retained
their membership in the younger mems

Until the United States Railroad Adj
ministration took over the operation of
the properties the unions other than
the brotherhoods, such as the black
smiths, machinists, etc, made indi-
vidual agreements with the manage
ments of the roads on which they were
strongly enough organized to exact an
agreement. This was true whether or
not they were affiliated with the Ameri-
can Federation. When the McAdoo adj
minstration took charge encourage
ment was given to employees other
than members of the brotherhoods to
form unions and to become affiliated
with the American Federation. The ma
tional agreements which were entered
into took away from the local union
and the individual road the power to
negotiate wage and working conditions

near future is as to the justice Of abro-
eating the national agreements and
permitting each road TO draft an agree
ment with representatives of it's own
employees as spokesman for the en-
ployees and not us agents Of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, without au-
thor1ty or responsibility.
The Railroad Labor Board in Chicago
is composed to Judge M. r. Barton,
chairman; G. w. Hanger and Henry r.
Hunt, representing the public; James
J; Forester, Albert Phillips and A. 0.
Wharton, representing labor; Horace
representing the railroads. Judge
Wharton has the reputation of being
remarkably clear-sighted and level
headed, and he knows the ins and outs
of the questions with which he has to
deal. Albert Phillips has the reputation
of being shrewd, fair in the sense that
a lawyer is fair, who must always place
his clients interests first, and of .hav-
ing an intimate knowledge of the wage
scales and working conditions as they
have been established during the period
of government operation, and which are
perpetuated in the national agreements
Probably most of the railroad men who
have had dealings with him would ac-
knowledge that he is etninently fitted
to occupy the position which he has.
1t is noticeable that not one of the
railroad men on the board had expert
ence in railroad management during
the period of government operation.
This would appear to be unfortunate.
Conditions have materially changed
since 1917, the intricacics of national
agreement and the effect that it has on
the payrolls Of the railroads are of in
finite complexity, and the experience of
men like Mr.. Phillips and A. o. Whar-
ton gives them an advantage that the
railroads representatives, as now con-
stituted, possibly do not quite Offset.
There will soon be three vacancies on
the board, Mr.. Forrester's. Mr.. Hunts

Shortage of fuel throughout the
greater part of the year in central
Canada and insufficient transportation
facilities have tended to restrict ship
ments. The production Of lime and
cement was seriously affected by the
fuel shortage, while car shortage re-
stricted or hampered the shipments Of
coal, asbestos, feldspar and other prod
ucts. In many camps labor was none
too plentiful and wages for the most
part were maintained at the highest
levels
1t is probable that in the production
OF metals the recovery to higher out
put levels has been too rapid. With
the exception of silver, metal prices
were well maintained throughout the
first nine months of the year, copper
holding during this period at slightly
above the average of the previous year,

Britain Loses Cheap Labor

Cheap labor, which was one of the
strongest factors in British interna-
tional trade, is no longer available
England then is confronted with the
problem of eXerting herculean efforts
to reestablish her foreign trade or to
develop her home markets more fully.
With a high wage scale the purchasing
power of the home market is greater
From what | have seen in England

Germany in the meantime will get
more and more international trade, re-

part of her workmen. They will ge.
higher pay along with rise in the

The new price SCHEDULED said a
leading manufacturer here, "wiil not

but will be the first step in stabilizing
the Independent market and fixing it
upon the basis established last Febru-
AIRY by the Cambria people. The prices
of $2.l0 for bars and $3.50 for plates
and shapes have been the nominal mar
ket right-along, but good many Of
the independent mills have taken on
business below these figures to main
tain operation for the sole purpose OF

Economic necessity" is the reason
ascribed by another prominent steel
manufacturer for the tendency which
has sprung up recently to get back tc
prices which Will enable the mills ia
gain. This man pointed out that al
though there is no tangible reason for
going back to higher and more stable
prices based upon demand, as all the
independents arc operating at only
about one-fourth capacity, neverthe-
less there is a fixed and certain eco
monte reason for this tendency to get
back to higher price levels
