Garry Out Similar
Practices, He States.

New York, April 3O-Elbert H
Gary, chairman of the board of direct
ers of the United State Steel corpora
ton, declared Saturday that he was
inviting an investigation by the feder-
al trade commission into charges that
the corporation and eleven of its sub
salaries had practiced unfair compe-
tltiOn in interstate commerce through
the system of having Pittsburgh as
basing point for selling prices every
where.
"1t is a mistake be said, "to sup
pose the proceedings are directed
against the United States Steel corpo-
ration or any other manufacturing
concern. They involve simple ques-
ton of the Pittsburgh base so-called. "
Pittsburgh Basing Point.
Many, If not all other lines of in
dustry," he said, carry out similar
practices. These consist of estab-
fishing a system Of base prices and
Plus prices. Except for rails. steel
everywhere MaGs,-ls delivered under
this system at the Pittsburgh base
price, plus what the freight would have
been from Pittsburgh to the delivery
point. Pittsburgh is known as the
basing point in the steel industry"
Inc complamantS, VINO are western

said, that Pittsburgh should not be the
only basing point but others should be
established in Chicago and perhaps
other manufacturing points.
Secures Business Stability.
II will be glad to have the whole
matter fully and carefully considered
and if possible judicial and final de-
cision reached" Mr. Gary said.
He declared Pittsburgh was desig-
mated the basing point by common con-
sent among the general trade long be-
fore the United States Steel corpora
ton came into existence. 1t has Sc
cured stability in business. which has
been of substantial benefit to the gen
eral trade. including both sellers and
buyers. he said.
Until recently any other system was
entirely satisfactory to everybody con-
erned, he continued. but lately COM
plant has been made by residents of
localities other than Pittsburgh, al
leging that the custom is resulting in
building up Pittsburgh and vicinity to
the prejudice of other places. He de-
clined to comment categorically on the
five summarized charges in the COM

Washington, April 30.-Various bills
looking to the regulation of grain cx-
changes were considered Saturday by
the house agriculture committee and
at the same time Chairman Norris of
the senate agriculture committee an
nounced he was waiting for additional
information before drafting a measure
on the subject which he expects TO
introduce in the senate. Senator Nor
ris said he had already conferred with
experts from the agricultural depart
ment and the federal trade commits
sion.
Senator Capper, Republican, Kansas,
whose bill relating to grain exchanges
was referred to the secretary of agri-
culture for recommendation said today
he had talked with Mr.. Wallace and
that the secretary had Indicated the
desirability Of holding a conference Of
all friends of the legislation.
Senator Capper also said it had been
tentatively decided to let the house act
on legislation affecting grain ex-
changes before the senate. The meas
ure, he pointed out, was based on a
revenue raising idea and some of it's
friends thought it would be better
therofer to let the house first take it.

Washington, April 3O.-Holding a
solid front against Republican split,
Democrats forced through the house
Saturday an amendment to the army
appropriation bill cutting down the en-
listed force to 10000 men. The
Kahn proposal for bigger force will

The bill, as approved by Secretry
Weeks, made provision for 16S, 200
men or 10000 more than the number
fixed by the measure passed last ses-
sion and vetoed.
There was no certainty however that
the 10000 figure would stand, for the
vote Saturday was in committee OF the
whole and the house may demand a
separate vote on the amendment in
passing the bill next week.
The amendment for reduction Of the
enlisted strength Of 10000. the lowest
figure suggested in the long debate.
was offered by Representative Bxrnes,
Democrat, South Carolina. Only two
Democrats opposed ftsand many Re-
publicans gave It tAsif Support. The
vote was 100 to 81.
The house previously had adopted
as substitute for the Kahn proposal
an amendment BY Representative Fish,

So serious was the situation consid-

immediate meeting of the British cab

Only Saturday morning was it made
known that the British had a new
scheme to offer. It was explained from
the British side after the meeting of
the council that the new move was
made owing to the findings Of the rep
aratiOn6 commission that the German
Indebtedness was 6,60O,O ,OOO, 600 pounds
This, it was said. greatly altered the
situation, as it was necessary in ap-
plying the penalties that the provis-
ions of the treaty would be observed.
It was no surprise to find Count
Sforza supporting the British plan. as
it had been known Italy was strongly
opposed to occupation Of the Ruhr un-
less it was found absolutely necessary

Saturday nights meeting
of the experts may find way out Of
the difficulty, and Sundays meeting of
the supreme council may be able to

serious view of the situation for. if
no agreement is reached. NJ BRAND is
faced with the prospect of having
France advance in the Ruhr region
alone. or at best with the Belgians, or
placing his cabinet in jeopardy.
