Another Price Cut
 Is Announced By
 Steel Corporation
By Associated Press

New York, July 6.-The United States Steel corporation today am nounced another cut, the seconl since April 12, in selling prices for the finished products Ito correspond with existing prices of competitors" The new schedule follows:
 Bars, from $40 to s1,9O; struc- tural shapes. from s2,2O to s2: plates from s2.2o to s2; sheet bars, from sS9 to sS5' billets. four by four, from SS7 to sSS; slabs, from sSS to sS4; blue annesied sheets, from s2.S5 to s2.65; black sheets, from ss.75 to SS.5o; galvanized sheets, from s4.75 to s4.5o: tin plate, from s6.25 to S575, and skelp. from $2,20 to s2.
 Pipe and possibly some other prod ucts will be reduced relatively.
 Chairman Gary also announced that beginning July 16, the corporation will abrogate the so-called basic or over-time day which was put into effect during the war as an emers- oncy measure. This amounts to a further cutting of mill wages ap- proximately 10 per cent.
 The action taken by the United States Steel corporation is in line with that inaugurated in the last few days by the Bethlehem corporation ard the Republic Iron and Steel, Lackawanna Steel company, and many of the smaller producers.
 In trade circles the further reduc- ton made by the United States Steel corporation occasioned no surprise inasmuch as the April schedule of prices was not adhered to by mos; of it's subsidiaries.

NAVY BILL SENT
 BACK ID HOUSE
Senate Agrees to Most of Provisions, But Not to
 19 Amendments
By Associated Press

Washington, July 6,-Althourb agreeing to the bulk of the provi {. sions in the .s4os, s,0oo.o 900 naval appro- priation bill, as voted recently by the House in attempting to dispose of differences between the two bodies, the Senate today refused to yield on 19 amendments and sent the measu1 e back to the House with a request .scr further confarence The anend- ments on which the Senate declined to recede include provisions for two airplane carriers in the aviation sta tions.
 Leaders had not determined to- night how to meet the technical de- ficit in funds for the navy resulting from the lapse of appropriations vita the close of the fiscal year, June 30. It might be necessary, it was said, to adopt resolution continuing last years appropriations temporarily un- til the pending bill is enacted. Oniy few days, however, it was believed, would be required to wind up the bill finally, and leaders were hopeful of avoiding the expedient of a contin- uing resolution.
 Among the major provisions of the bill disposed of finally by the Sen- ate's action today on the conference report were the Borah disarmament amendment. and that fixing the navy enlisted personnel at 106,000 men.
