Steel Decline,
barometer of
General Slash
Gary's Reduction Expected to
Haze Vide Efect-EUen
on Rents.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-Drastio re-
auctions in prices announced by Judge
Ebert H Gary Of the United States
Steel Corporation may precipitate a sec
ond country wave Of price cutting,
1t was believed here today.
AT least, cheaper steel VIII tend to
bring down prices to the consumer of
scores Of commodities Of every day use -
said Ethelbert Stewart, Government price
expert.
at may be some weeks before the
buying public will experience benefit,
but the result IS certain II the lower
steel prices are maintained"
One result which the steel price cut
already has brought was a general 10
per cent reduction in the price OF 10 I'm
machinery Cheaper farm machinery
means a larger margin for 65OO,O 900 farm
owners who will thus be encouraged in
the direction Of increased production.
Larger food production means lower
prices to the consumer.
There are scores of points at which
steel pricesa AFFECT the cost OF living, al
buys it directly.
Rents and building costs. now the sub
:jeet Of complaint, are directly affected
by steel prices because rails and bars
are largely used IN construction work
even in private dwellings.
Railroads and street car lines are prob
ably the largest single buyers Of steel.
High rail prices increase operating over
head and necessitate high freight and
passenger rates.

BRITISH RAIL
AND TRANSPORT
STRIKE is OFF
Cancellation of Triple ALI
ance' Order An
nOunced.

LONDON. April 15.-The triple ALI
ance" at t o'clock this afternoon can
celled its order for a general strike set
for 10 o'clock tonight.
The announcement Of the cancellation
was made by J. II. Thomas. the railmen' s
executive.
Only a few minutes before Premier
Lloyd George had announced in the
House of Commons that miners were I'M
compromising in their stand.
The general strike was consequently
believed absolutely inevitable. The gov
eminent set Its machinery in motion to
alleviate the suffering and possibly civil
warfare that was to ba reckoned with
In the wake Of the strike.
Then, into the universal gloom that be-
fell the capital following word Of the
Premier's announcement, which spread
Ike lightning, came the dramatic an
nouncement by Thomas,
The railmens leader gave no explana-
ton. The public flung for nineteen days
from joyous relief to desperate alarm and
back to high hopes, was dumfounded.
The general first view was that only q
serious rift IN the unity OF the triple al
lance could have brought about such 9
change OF front
The Premier, amid cheers, had told the
Parliament once more that the govern
ment continued absolutely impartial
in the strike crisis.
Then he had read thu miners answer
which he described a "a most important
communication" In It the miners had
told him that the only conditions upon
which even temporary settlement could
be reached were:
l. Concession OF a national wage sys-
TEN.
2. A national pooling Of war pronts.
Both these conditions have been repeat
eddy turned down fatty by both the mine
owners and the government.
A hush fell over the crowded house
Even the most sanguine optimists seemed
resigned to the inevitable. At the same
time the governments departmental ma
chinery had clicked into strike gear
All government wires were sizzling with
orders in all directions.
The British public was set" for the
national industrial upheaval Tenacious
determination to help the government was
apparent on all sides, but the bulk Of
the people shared the governments view
that a general walkout would be, in ef-
feet, tantamount to a revolution.
Then came the sudden announcement OF
the cancellation.

was given q sentence to the Marion Coun-
" Jail from city court. He appealed TO

man. This was called to tho attention of

action ever was taken against Harris.
