ADVANCE |NSTEEL
PRICES PREDICTED
Boost Averaging So to So a
Ton Expected on Third
Quarter Deliveries.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 12.-Finished
steel price advances averaging from
So to So a ton were predicted for the
third quarter in manufacturing cir
cles.
Steel industry observers said the
expected price rises would be effected
in order to cover social security costs
and expenses incident to other en-
ployee benefits. Announcements Of
the higher price schedules are ex-
pected within the next few weeks.
In steel circles it was indicated that
the higher quotations will be con-
centrated mainly on those products in
which consumption has been consist
emily heavy.
Notwithstanding the steady de-
mand for steel since last Fall higher
production costs, it is understood. have
left the industry at large hard pressed
to show satisfactory profits.
Estimated costs Of social security
act and vacations with pay were said
to have played a part in the decision
to raise prices.
Several of the larger companies
have adopted the Summer vacation
plan for all workers, a step which
statisticians have estimated will boost
the industry's pay rolls by IL to 2
per cent. or about 100000 a year.
The social security provision will,
according to the same authorities, be
equivalent to 6 per cent expansion
in pay rolls.
The Carnegie-Illinois Corp, division
Of the United States Steel Corp,
youngstown Sheet g. Tube Co., and
Republic Steel Corp, have already
adopted the Summer vacation plan
for all workers. 1t is understood that
other important companies will follow.

Jury DEAD[OCKED
| IN DEATH PROBE
Unable to Agree at Inquest
in Killing of c. c. c.
Worker.

Deadlocked after celebrating near
ly eight hours. a coroner's jury prob
ing the killing Of Lawrence Basey,
colored c. c. c. worker. last night
was discharged upon reporting no
verdict was possible. The incident
was the first of its kind in the mem
ory Of District officials.
A coroner's jury must return a
unanimous verdict. After hearing
testimony at the inquest the jury re-
tired shortly after 8 o'clock yesterday
afternoon and did not come back
In until nearly II o'clock.
When it was announced the jury
could not agree, Coroner A. Magruder
Macdonald dismissed the members
and said another panel would be
selected Tuesday.
Basey was shot in the abdomen last
Sunday night by Ninth Precinct Po-
liceman v. H. Landrum. He died
Thursday night in Casualty Hospital.
Landrum, who was off duty, left
his home to investigate a reported
disturbance in the 100 block of M
street northeast. He said he took five
colored youths into custody and that
when he was calling his station they
threatened him.
When they failed to heed a warn
ing. Landrum fired one shot.
Confusing testimony is believed to
have deadlocked the jury. The COL
ored men involved said they had not
threatened Landrum and were not
preparing to mob" him. Witnesses
who said they saw the affair from a
distance testified it appeared Landrum
was about to be rushed when he fired.

after being taken into custody for
questioning in the lust-slaying of

tured late today at Corona. near here.
Sheriff Carl Rayburn said he be-

here.

was believed that the man who es-
capped here might shed some light on
the case, but close check of his de-
scription indicated that he had prob
ably escaped from the State hospital
for the insane at Patton, Calf.
The man was arrested here after Q
rancher reported to the sheriff's Office
that a man to whom he had given a
ride told him he had seen the killer
of Miss Muir.
Deputy Sheriff Walter Sibley did
not handcuff him, and as he turned
his automobile around to return to
