STEEL REDUCTION
EFFECT STUDIED
Ending of Pittsburgh Plus
Basis May Result in Minor
Price War,
BY tie Associated Press.


NEW YORK, June 29.-Trade and
financial circles awoke to the realiza-
ton today the steel industry's aban-
donment Of the historic Pittsburgh
plus" system of basing prices on few
selected points of shipment may have
far-reaching effect on the Nations
economic structure.
Trade authorities were occupied
chiefly in analysis Of the potential
effects from a long-range view, in the
belief the big results may be seen
eventually in acceleration Of industrial
decentralization and relocation Of
steel plants nearer centers OF con-
sumption. like Detroit
The trade publication Iron Age said
Few events in the steel industry in
recent years have stirred the industry
so deeply"
United States Steel Corp, taking the
industry by surprise. led the way by
putting Chicago, Birmingham and
Pittsburgh subsidiaries at the same
price basis when 1t lowered steel quo
tations last week.
Meanwhile other price changes by
competitors of Big Steel have opened
the eyes of trade observers to possible
repercussions in the setup of steel
producing and consuming units.
"Abolishing of price differentials
between Birmingham and such points
as Pittsburgh" said Iron Age, "is re-
garded as giving the industry in the
South a great impetus and is likely to
have other far-reaching Effects
The Wall Street journal said the
discarding of the pittsburgh plus
system, long in use by the steel in
dustry. but modified to the extent OF
increasing the number of basing points
after the Trade Commission in 1924
condemned the old practice of fixing
prices on Pittsburgh basis, creates
an entirely new situation both in the
matter Of competition and in earnings
and may result in minor price war"
1t outlined "other possible results" as
follows:
The larger units, like United States
Steel. may be the principal beneficiar-
les since they have plants widely dis
tributed in the principal producing
areas.
Pittsburgh units may lose price ad-
vantages they have held for many
years.
Transport methods and routes may
be changed and plants relocated.
The original Pittsburgh plus" sys.
tenn. initiated long before the turn OF
the century. meant the steel consumer
paid the Pittsburgh price plus freigh,
charges to the destination of the ship
ment. Thus If a consumer in Mobile
bought from the Steel Corp. he paid
the Pittsburgh price in addition te
freight costs to Mobile, although the
shipment may have been made from
the corporations subsidiary in Bir.

 When he comes home from sea in his merchant ship, the May Queen, it's as a lover coming home to his sweetheart Last trip he brought her an ivory carved fan from China, and a little Mandarin coat, embroidered in lotus flowers.
 These things, and another, are too much for Mrs. Pell. The other thing is their intimate friendship with MT. Cabell Banks, junior, of Boston and his wife-that girl that was the wealthy Prudence Winthrop.
 She says, You'd think Polly Chelsey Whitfield would be stuck up, but she's not It beats all. l believe she's too simple" 1 Yet not too simple for Jerry Whitfield.

And when the beauti- full American flag stood fast through the night a mild and lovable young lawyer from George town Che was prisoner looking on, and his name was Francis Scott Key) took an envelope from his opcket and wrote poem called "The Star -Spangled Banner" which he happily set to a London cofee- house tune. And SO, even in this beautiful blood-soaked anthem that celebrates their struggle, Eng land and America were trrevocably joined.
 Dick went home by stage coach in November. And around the New Year when the treaty of Ghent was already signed, old Andrew Jackson defended New Orleans in useless, bloody battle. When it was over, gallant Sir Edward Packenham and the flower of the English army lay dead there.
 To Polly, this was utterly heart breaking. She wept for days be- cause of it, and because of Amer ican men who lay dead at sea, just as cruelty. She thought of her Jerry as among them.
 And then one day there ap- peared a strange brig in Lyme harbor. Trepid Chelsey came home with the news that fine big vessel named the May Queen was casting anchor there. It meant nothing to anybody. Not until Jerry Whitfield came striding through the picket gate, looking browner and leaner and tireder and older, and said with his cap in his hand:
 Does Captain Trepid Chelsey live here?" Not till then did the May Queens arrival have mean ing.
 Polly went flying from the house into his arms; and though one of his arms was still from a wound, he held her crushingly close. And when she cried salty tears on his face, his own mingled with them, unashamed. I've a ship of my own, Polly" he said. I'm a man of property now.'
 "Oh!' Polly said "Is the May Queen your own? Well, I've a contribution too. Your baby son is a year and eight months old. His name is Richard Jeremiah. Come in and see him"
 She thought for a moment that Jerry Whitfield was fainting, and after that she thought his express sion of dismay was very comical.
 Before night falls" she sur- prised him yet further by saying. T want you to take me on your arm to our ship, walking very slowly past Mrs Pell's house.
 The young Jerry Whitfields have settled in Polly's old home at Lyme, for Dick Chelsey has gone to med- ical college down at New Haven, and old Trepid needs his daughter and her children around him.
 The house has a new wing; fresh white paint covers all, and within there are some impressive new mahogany pieces made by Duncan Phyfe, the furniture man. Polly has. her "help" in the pine paneled kitchen, as sea captains
