"PRICE CHISELERS"
DECLARED MENACE
Steel Association Official Decries
Practice of Beating Down
Values.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, November 14.-Steel-
buying price chiselers' were described
as a menace to returning prosperity, in
an address here today by George II
Charts, president of the National Assoc
citation of Flat-Rolled Steel Manufac-
turers. He was addressing the Cleve-
land Advertising Club.
The steel industry, in the face Of ire
mendous handicaps, is maintaining the
high level Of wages paid in 1929 in or
der to preserve the purchasing power OF
its employees, and buyers Of raw and
semi-finisled steel should bear this in
mind in their constant striving to drive
prices lower and lower, Charts said.
Prices Of flat-rolled steel are approx
imately at pre-war levels, but freight
rates for the materials of making pig
iron and the scale of wages are 100 per
cent higher than In 1918, Charts pointed
out
"Once it was considered necessary
to reduce wages in periods of depres-
sion. Today the entire steel industry
accepts the principle that such reduc-
tons only reduce purchasing power and
delay the return of prosperity. Indus
trial buyers pushing for lower prices on
steel should be mindful of their joint
responsibility In helping the steel in
dustry maintain the purchasing power
of its employees" Charts said.

HIGH WAGE LEVELS
APPROVED IN STREET
Financial District Prefers Cheap
Money and Good Prices to
Debated Conditions.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November I4.-Uphold-
ing Of high wage scales in this country
by Alfred p. Sloan, jr., president OF the
General Motors Corporation, proves that
one Of Americas leading industrialists
Is an expert psychologist Is well az
economist
When economies and psychology come
to grips, the latter invariably wins. Re-
duced wages and lower prices--how does
the man in Wall Street feel about it?
In the last few months more than 100
persons have been Queried on the sub
Invariably the answer came back:
Give US high wages even II the pur-
Chasing power OF the dollar be lowl'
Curiously enough, reduced prices
MAKE the average buyer feel he has OBJ
tanned poor quality. It Is good eco
Monies to reduce quotations and there
by move goods of shelves, but somehow
or other the average man and woman
would prefer to have incomes high
enough to pay good prices for what they
need or want. The buying attitude to-
ward Wall Street and its wares, perhaps.
Justines the psychologists point of view.
