teresting Talks Heard

A program on crippled children's
work was had at the regular weekly
meeting of the Rotary Club last even
ing at the Vance Hotel.

were special guests of the club.
Mr.. Ferris, who has artificial arms,
demonstrated to the club how well
artificial limbs can be made of use
by those so unfortunate to lose their
limbs.
Mr.. Folk, with artificial legs, stump
ed the members of the club, who were
equally divided as to which of his
legs was artificial, until he showed
the club that both were artificial.
Both men are prosperous and in the
best of spirits.
DR.. Gregg presented the Vance
county children, showing pictures OF
the children before they were treated,
and then showed the children them
selves. Remarkable improvement ha
been made toward restoration of the
use of deformed limbs.

work in the State since 1917, when
local organizations were the only ones
caring for cripples.

appropriated money for work among
cripples, and five years later, the
Gastonia hospital was built
At the outset, there were so beds at
the hospital Now there are 100 beds
ing held all over the state.
The speaker. quoted facts and fig
ures on what is being done for Grip
pies, and most of the members were
astounded at the progress being made.

county welfare, was a guest of the
club.
A letter was read from a student,
who is receiving aid from the student
loan fund of the club, telling of his
activities.

STEEL men FACE
SWEEPING CHANGE
New Deal Likely to Result
From Elimination Of
Pittsburgh Base.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press. =
NEW YORK, June 30.-Revision Of
the basing point system Of quoting
prices in the steel industry may call
for a new deal of the business cards
among the producers, trade authorities
reported today.
The Iron Age, in an analysis Of the
move initiated by United States Steel
Corp, toward complete abandonment
of the old Pittsburgh plus" pricing
practices, pointed out the deepest
siashes resulted when differentials be-
tween Northern and Southern steel
consuming and making points were
eliminated.
Pointing out U. s. Steel, the largest
producer, had slashed prices SO to 81
ton and made them uniform at
Pittsburgh, Chicago and Birmingham,
James A. Rowan, news editor OF the
trade publication, said:
Markets Rearranged.
Apparently this revision rearranges
markets for various producers through
out the country and changes the geo.
graphical areas In which they can
profltably obtain business.
Many observers saw signs that the
era in which United States Steel
would to the slightest extent hold the
umbrella over competitors definitely
ended.
Major items reduced are bars, down
"a ton at Pittsburgh, IS at Chicago
and 81 at Birmingham. Structural
plates and shapes are down 50 a ton
at Pittsburgh, "a at Chicago and $6
at Birmingham, while concrete bars
are So lower at Pittsburgh, 50 lower
at Chicago and 50 in the South from
the announced prices Of the third
quarter"
The old Pittsburgh plus" system.
in force for many years, was modified
In 1924 under Federal attack through
an increase In the number of basing
points. Originally steel was quoted at
the Pittsburgh price. plus freight
charges to destination, although ship
ments might have been made from q
nearer producing center. Critics of
this system held 1t was discriminatory
especially to the South.
Others May Follow.
L. w. MofIeett, Washington editor
OF the Iron Age. reported political
quarters had considered the possi-
bility other industries using varia-
tions Of the basing point would fol-
low the lead OF the steel makers to-
ward discardins it.
Such a development" he said,
would mark startling change in the
economic framework on which large
American industry has been built and
would bring to a spectacular climax
the constant onslaught made by the
Government on the basing point sys-
tenn"
However he noted there was "con-
Germ in some administration circles
that sudden elimination or partial
elimination Of the basing point system
would be highly injurious not only to
consuming markets and labor in es-
tahlished areas but also to some pro-
ducers." ..,,- .t.-..
Whether Detroit, with its huge
steel-using motor plants, would be-
come basing point or would at
tract more steel-making capacity re-
mained question, according to Will
liam r. Sherman, the Iron Age rep
resentative in the automobile center.

WEIR DEPL0RES
+ STEEL PRICE CUTS
End of Price Differentials
Declared Adverse for
Pittsburgh Area.
By the Associated Press.

By the ASsoc1ated PreSs.
PITTSBURGH. June 3o.-E. T.
Weir, chief Of one of the Nations
largest independent steel producing
companies. asserted yesterday the cur
rent steel price reductions left the in
dustry much worse OF than it was
before"
Asserting that he did not look for
increased business for the industry as
result Of the slashes by U. S. Steel
and several large independents. the
chairman of the National Steel Corp.
said:
If there is any improvement 1t will
run along with heavy competition, but
think the steel industry might better
have waited until there was a general
movement developed. Financially. the
industry is much worse OF than it
was before"
| Opposes New Basis.
Abandonment of price differentials
between Pittsburgh and other produc-
ing centers, Wier declared. definitely
hurt" the Pittsburgh area because of
the increased competition.
Expressing the opinion that the
price cuts would be costly to the in
dustry as q whole, he said the United
States Steel Corp. (the Nations big
gest producer) "is . heavy loser along
with every one else" National Steel
has not announced any price reduc-
tions.
In a statement two weeks before
'big steel" slashed its prices Weir said
price cuts in steel do not bring out
more orders"
! Points to Past Record.
"The history of the steel industry
shows" he said then, that it has al
ways lowered prices as costs have de-
clined and this still applies. How can
an industry now operating at loss
reduce prices without reducing costs?
The only present way open to reduc-
ing costs is to cut wages. That the
steel companies have not been willing
to do."
| The latest price cuts in the indus
try were SO to $40 ton on pipe and
50 to So a ton on wire. Both reduc-
tions were announced by U. S. Steel
subsidiaries. the American Steel and
Wire Co. Of Cleveland, and the Ma
tional Tube Co. Of Pittsburgh.
The Post-Gazette said last night
that Weir declined to discuss specifi-
cally the outlook for wages in the
industry, but declared that If a wage
cut is contemplated, the resultant
effect upon the steel companies would
be less-suhstantially so-than the
amount Of the average price reduc-
tions which have been made to date" /"
DETROIT, June 80 [R.-The Great
Lakes steel division of the National
Steel Corp. announced today q new
Detroit price schedule of 81 a ton above
the Pittsburgh base prices. The
schedule represented reductions in
most classifications from previous
prices.
The Detroit prices announced were:
Hot rolled bars, $235 . hundred
weight; hot rolled strip-on sheets,
1925; cold rolled sheets, assorted,
$3.50; cold rolled strip. mill run, $500;
enameling stock, 20-gauge, $3.45;
l0-gauge, $2.85.
Prices outside of Detroit, within the
32-cent Pittsburgh freight zone, were
quoted cents above the Detroit prices.
