ing desire to cooperate in pre-
venting inf1ationary tendencies" the
Nations largest steel producer to-
day reaffirmed prices on most OF
its products for the first quarter OF
1910 despite rising costs and many
uncertainties"
The announcement came from
Carnegie-Illinois, largest subsidiary
of United States Steel, and followed
closely an investigation into price
fixing methods of the booming steel
industry by the Federal Monopoly
Committee.
The move caused little surprise in
the industry in view of healthy THIRD
quarter profits and the expressed
attitude of the administration a,
Washington. Some Government
economists had felt an increase in
steel might affect other commod-
tiles and bring about an imitation
airy movement.
Only short time ago Thurman
Arnold, Assistant Attorney General
declared the Department of Justice
had noted with considerable graft
flcation" the decision of most of the
industry to continue third quarter
prices unchanged for the rest of the
year

ernment, but fatty rejected ANY

nounced goal of no increase ir
prices and constant and regular EN-.
ployment.
The steel industry now has
reached new all-time record ir
production, nearing the 95 per cent
OF capacity mark. Unofficial esti-
mates place $4,000 men at work ir
the direct production of steel, g
boost of 100000 above that of a few
months ago.
Carnegie Illinois prices will bene-
flclaNy affect buyers who have
placed millions of dollars in back
logged orders on the basis of prices
existing at time of delivery. In view
OF the heavy backlog, predictions are
offered freely that some products
will be sold out for the first quarter
by the end of November.
Only exceptions noted by the cor
poratlon in confirming prices were
a boost of 50 ton on hot rolled
sheets and hot rolled strip. Prices
OF tin plate used principally for tir
cans will be announced later, with

CHILD PSYCHOLOGY
 THEME OF LECTURE

 Children

Children who are Spoiled" at home have a better chance for suc- cess in life than those whose home lives are restricted by perpetual don't, according to Dr. Lawson G. Lowrey, child psychologist, who spoke last night at the meeting of the Waterbury Mental Hygiene So- ciety.
 pr. Lowrey is psychiatrist at the Brooklyn Hebrew Orphan Asylum, director of vocational adjustment at the Bureau of Mental Hygiene re- search unit, psychiatrist at the New Rochelle General hospital, and au- thor of many publications on child psychology.
 Happier Going
 He said that, contrary to the pop ular belief that spoiled" children have difficult time confronting people away from their homes, study has determined that these children are happier and more suc- cessful in school, more independent GIldII tIlOSC WllO dIC 1ldl oIlIy tACdl- ed at home. He said that children who are deprived of affection and privileges at home become non-con- formists and sulk later on because they resent these deprivations later in life.
 The spoiled children we studied were, without exception, pleasant and easy to get along with" Dr. Lowrey said. He inferred that the theory of tough" childhood re- sulting in self-reliant and success full adult was wrong.
 To the contrary, he declared, the child of such background grows up feeling cheated of part of his life and will hurt others, or himself, to "get even" This is why some adults experience temper tantrums and can never adjust themselves prop erly to living in a community with out friction.
 Dr. Lowrey spoke unfavorably of putting children in institutions, say ing that this can never take the place of the home in the rearing of children. He said that children appeared not to suffer i'll effects from seeing movies, with the few
