the steel industry, j. Leonard Replogle,
director of steel for the War Industries
Board, and others of the board, fixed a
price of cents pound for steel plates,
Mr.. Baruch declared.
The necessity for this schedule" he
asserted, was demonstrated by the
fact that a few days previously very
large tonnage of steel plates was sold
by one of the steel companies to one of
the associated governments at IA cents
a pound, a hitherto unheard-of price"
At the September 21 meeting. Mr..
Baruch said, Mr. Gary held out for a
higher price. but finally arbitrated at
substantially Mr.. Replogle's figure.
while we have excellent co-opera-
ton of the steel industry as unit,
Mr.. Baruch said, there were some
individuals in it who could not at
first entirely subordinate CONNER

Wilson informed me that If the war

he is not even informed as to the
exact dates of the incidents he dis
cussed."
Vagueness Of Dates.
Resenting the vagueness of Mr..
Gary's statement that liberalization
of the steel industry was proposed
"in the fall of 1917 or the spring of
1918" and denying that William G..
McAdoo was supposed to have been
sponsor OF the idea, Mr.. Baruch as
serted that the general demand for
liberalization of all industries arose
out of just such difficulties as the
government had with Judge Gary and
those whom he represented at the
beginning of the price fixing era"
Mr.. Baruch related how almost imme-
diately after the declaration of war in
1917 he urged Mr.. Gary and representa-
tives of steel companies not to insist en-
a price Of AZ cents a pound for ship
plates, set by them, because the price
was too high and unfair under the cir
