Federal Trade Commission Issues Com.
plant Alleging Unfairness-.
Defendants Given 80
Days to Answer.

Washington-A formal complaint
against the United States Steel cor
poration and II subsidiary companies,
alleging unfair competition in inter-
state commerce, was issued by the Fed
eral Trade commission. Thus the COM
mission finally hes decided that 1t has
sufficient jurisdiction. to take up the
long-standing complaints by various
users of steel products and others,
against the alleged use by the corpora
tion of the device known as "the Pitts
.burgh plus price,"
1t was announced, however, that the
commission had divided, three to two,
Chairman Thompson and Commission
ers Heard and Nugent voting for issu-
ance of the complaint and Commission
ers Gaskill and Murdoch dissenting.
Thirty Days to Answer.
The Steel corporation and its subsid-
iartes are given 30 days or until May
81, to make formal answer to the COM
plant, after which the case will pro-
coed to trial on its merits. The COM
plant was issued under the Clayton
antitrust act and the law establishing
the commission. The commissions an
nouncement said the case was ian out
growth Of conditions complained of by
more than 200 manufacturers of steel
in Chicago, Duluth and Birmingham
districts, by Legislatures of three
states. by several municipalities and
by chambers of commerce and many
business organizations throughout the
United States
Price Plan Described.
The Pittsburgh plus, price is de-
scribed at length in the commissions
announcement, which says that under
it "all steel except rails, whatever
made-and whether made in the United
States Steel corporation plans, or by
independents, is sold at the t. o. b.
Pittsburgh price, plus an amount
equivalent to the freight to point Of
destination" and as an illustration
says that this means that the Gary
steel fabricator -wAo- runs his own
truck to theSGary, Ind, steel mill and
purchases steel manufactured at that
plant, must pay the price charged in
Pittsburgh, plus an amount equaling
the freight rate from Pittsburgh to
Gary"
Complaint Not Limited.
The complaint is not Limited, how
ever, to the alleged use Of this device.
It charges specifically that the steel
corporation Gowns and controls the ul-
innate iron supply in the United
States" and that because 'of it's power
and influence" through the large per
centage Of the steel manufacturing
business done by it and supported by
it, its consequent potential power to
o-abarrass or destroy its competitors
by unduly lowering its price schedules

To this Mr.. Norcross made no reply
