from leading eastern journals, and it IS becoming increasingly more appar- ent that Pittsburgh Plus" lays the entire country-east and west, north and south-under tribute to a relaive- ly small section close to the city of Pittsburgh itself
 The suit having for it's purpose the abolition of this practice, to which reference has been made, is now pending before the Federal Trade Commission, and testimony both of the complainant and the respondent has been submitted It. has been be- fore the commission for several years. Rebuttal testimony is scheduled to begin December 10 and it is expected that all of the evidence will be in the hands of the special examiner who is hearing it some time during the coming winter
 Commenting on the plan and op- position the Hartford Times says:
 "The Farm Bureau Federation PlusD adds. unjustifably to the cost of machinery and materials the farm CTS must use Manufacturers who wish to sell their products in the east ern markets claim that they are han dicapped because they have to pay not only the imaginary freight on steel from Pittsburgh but the actual manufacturing cities of the middle west to the eastern market. The same complaint comes from the south.
 "The claim of the steel interests has been that no steel district except Pittsburgh produces enough steel to meet the consumers demands, and that Pittsburgh therefore is entitled to domination of the field, and to fix the price, and that the freight charge from Pittsburgh is fair measure of determining the value of the service Pittsburgh performs.' In other words, the steel corporations assess a 'serv- ice charge against those who do busi- ness with them, charge that seems unsupportable by any economic argu- ment The steel corporations take advantage of lower cost of manufac- ture at lake ports and then add the cost of freight from Pittsburgh, the freight charge in many instances equalling as high as 30 per cent of the price of the steel.
 "It Is difficult to think of any reas- enable defense. If every great indus try controlling the bulk of particu- lar product were to adopt the same trade custom there IS no telling to what heights the cost of living might soar. Here Is a matter III which the public has an important interest.

Cnd team did not show the team
work which has made the first
team famous, they managed to keep
the lead of the score. and make Sar-
gent work hard for all they got.
The second teams would be
credit to any high school. Their
playing shows good training and

first quarter Monte had the score
