CARY COMES TO DEFENSE
OF THE STEEL INDUSTRY
Pittsburgh Prices Prevail
Merely Because Some
Basis Is Needed.
IBy Nssnciatcl rr.ss |

WASHINGTON. Nov. G.-St.cl and
iron products normally are sold All
over the United States on the basis
OF prices prevailing in Pittsburgh
merely BECAUSE the industry needs
some method Of making quotations
r.. IL. Gary. of the United states
Steel Corporation. testified today In
an investigation into the practice
being conducted by the Federal Trad.
Commission. There is no purpose Of
limiting competition or maintaining
prices within the industry. Judge
Cary insisted. declaring that In
periods of good business the Pitts
burgh base almost disappears.
This Pittsburgh base exists. s..
far as / know. for the purpose OF Gx
ing quotation price" said Judge
Gary. 1T was adhered TO or not,
depending on whether or not bust
ness was good or bad. The seller of
steel. like the buyer OF steel. had
to have some level to determine the
transactions. The price Of wheat
for instance. at Chicago, determines
the price of wheat everywhere. ana
In various other commodities the
same thing is true
Asks About Carnegie Company.
In their questions bout compcti-
tlon In the steel field. the trade COM
mission examiners sought iuforma-
ton as To whether the Carnegie
Company. before II was consolidated
with the United States steel Cor
poration. did not go into Illinois
competing with the Illinois steel
Company. then an Independent com
pany. but now. like the Carnegie. 4
unit Of the corporation.
In those early days the Carnegie
went into any markets during de
preston to sell ut whatever price II
could get" Judge Gary responded.
ASKED IT there was now any ac-
tive competition between the Illinois
steel and the Carnegie. he said:
There isn't anything ] would call
active competition. though there IS
always ood-natured competition
since there is always the deadly
parallel drawn which shows how
good comparatively caDh company
is"
Prncticc Takes Care OF Itself.
During the recent periods OF dull
business" Judge Gary said. the
steel corporation. though quoting
Pittsburgh prices. had absorbed all or
part of the freight and it's COM
pctitors have done the same thing"
Judge Gary expressed the opinion
that the PITTSBURGH basing practice
was taking care OF itself"
In my opinion what Is happcnInr
al over the country, as at Birming-
