STEEL PRICE FIXING
METHODS SCORED
New Organization Formed to
Fight "Pittsburgh Plus"
Practice in Industry.
Enecial Disnat tch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, October IA new or
Eanization embracing nineteen states
has entered the lists to fight PITTS
burgh plus"
This new organization. to be known
as the Associated States Opposing
Pittsburgh Plus" is an outgrowth OF
the appropriation of $4,000 by four
states-Illinois, Iowa. Minnesota and
Wisconsin--which formed joint
commission to fight the pittsburgh
plus" method of steel price fixing.
This commission invited the co-opera-
ton of other states. with the result
that the governors and attorneys gen
eral of fifteen additional common
Wealths have joined, and the new
association Is the result.
w. L. McCollum, secretary OF the
Western Association of Rolled steel
Consumers. the organization which
started the fight on "Pittsburgh plus,
has been put in charge of the offices
of the organization located at 1893
City Hall Square building, Chicago
The United States Steel Corporation
bases its defense on the ground that
the "PittSburgh plus practice is the
result of the operation of the eco
nomic law of supply and demand. The
defense theory is that Pittsburgh, as
the point OF surplus production of
rolled steel. naturally dominates the
market and sets the price.
