GENERAL PRICE
SLASH IN STEEL
is HELD LIKELY
Wage Cut Is In
Store Undetermined

PITTSBURGH, June IS Q.N.SO.
General price.cutting in the steel
industry was expected to follow
the action of Carnegie Illinois
Steel Corporation, largest of the
United States Steel subsidiaries,
in reducing prices on many widely
used products IN the Chicago and
Pittsburgh areas.
A question unanswered today
was whether the price slashes will
have a resultant effect on wages,
in view of assertions there could
be no price cuts without wage
cuts. The steer corporation in its
statement asserted the prices were
pared to meet competitive condi-
tions and were not concerned with
wages.
LEWIS SILENT
John L. Lewis, head Of the CIO,
which has organized a large sec
ton Of the industry. declined CON-
ment in New York where he is
believed to be comforting with
heads Of big Steel" on the ques-
ton of cutting wages.
Proportionate reductions for the
South were announced by the
Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail-
road Company, another big
Steel" subsidiary. In the past,
the larger independent steel CON-
panies and then the entire in
dustry have followed the lead of
Carnegie-Illnois in fixing prices.
There was little doubt they would
do the same in the present in
stance.
"The price reductions are
made to meet competitive con-
ditions and with the hope that
such reductions will stimulate a
demand for steel products"
Carnegie Illinois announced.
The reductions at Pittsburgh
were SO q ton on semi-finished
steel, SO a ton on shapes and
plates, $4 a ton on bars, So a
ton on hot strip, So a ton on sheets
and 81 a ton on piling.
A significant deviation in the
new price schedule was the fixing
of identical mill prices for Chi
cago and Pittsburgh. In the past,
mill prices of finished steel at Chi
cago have been from 81 to 50 ton
| higher than in Pittsburgh.

bricks.
Several glittering pieces Of
metal were found. But examlna-
ton by experts discovered them to
be only brass,
Also raiders found two large
;ars labeled "heroin." Scenting
the beginnings of a dope ring, the
police turned the jars over to Fed

And the "heroin" turned out

U. S. STAND CREDITED
This partial shift in the Japa
nese attitude followed reports
from Washington that the United
States would resist japanese at
tempts to abolish the principle OF
eXtraterritoriality.
The Nipponese spokesman said
Some third party nationals
In JapaneSe-occupied territory
appear to labor under the mis-
conception that they are above
japanese law because they enjoy
extraterritorial status in China.
That is wrong"
It appeared that despite the
change in the japanese view, the
issue would still lead to a contro,
versy between Tokyo and Wash
ington.
HAINAN REPORTED TAKEN
Meanwhile, wild rumors that
The island of Hainan, off the
southern coast of China and fac
ing French Indo-China, has been
invaded by Japanese forces. were
published by Chinese papers in
Hongkong. Authorities said the
stories were premature.
The position of Hainan wa!
admittedly ticklish, however, eSpe
cially because of French threat!
to send troops there if the Japa
nese attempted to occupy The
island.
Presence of numerous japanese
warships in Southern Chinese
waters would make it possible for
the Nipponese to land on Hainan
at any moment. 1t was considered
unlikely this would be attempted
Immediately, owing to the posi-
bility of grave Franco-Japanese
complications.
BATTLE AT JIMLI
At the same time, reports here
said Chinese troops repulsec
japanese forces at Jimli, neal

to have occurred, with heavy cas-
ualties on each side.
Previous reports three Japanese
warships had been set on fire II
