Cutprice eorU. :. Will,
Henderson Warns
Scrap Metal Dealers
Numerous Small Mills
Will Disappear He Says,
If Figures Get Out Of Line
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Jan. 9.-Leon Hen
derson, chief of price stabilization
for the Defense Commission, told the
Scrap Iron and Steel Institute con-
vention today the Government Is
determined" to get sufficient sup
ply of scrap metals for the defense
program, and cautioned, IF you
don't handle your business, it will be
handled"
He reiterated a previous state
ment that unless voluntary action
was taken in reducing scrap prices,
drastic steps" for price control
would be taken by the Government.
IF this emergency is long sus-
tanned, and prices of all kinds get
out of line" Mr. Henderson went on,
numerous small steel mills" and
other allied industries will disap-
pear"
1T would not be fair for me to
say the Government is fully salts
fled with your industry" the COM
missioner said, recalling a confer
ence with scrap metal officials last
october. "It is quite evident you
people did not take seriously what
we told you then"
Mr.. Henderson said the Govern
ment wants to make the least pos
sible interference with your busi-
ness as necessary, because basically,
that is the reason for the conflict
in the world today.
''But it was our understanding in
October that the Government was
going to have scrap at a reasonable
price.
"We may have to come to some
kind of an organization, syndicate
or group to handle the problem, but
we are not going to do it until we
have to-it depends on whether or
not you render the service"
G. L. Rathel, vice president of the
Continental Steel Corp, Kokomo,
Ind, said it was apparent" the
Government did not realize the
great shortage" of zinc in the
United States, and recommended a
ban against all export of that metal,
excluding that to Great Britain.

ported that the Emden attacks be-
gan at pm. and continued at in
tervals until early this morning, the
British flying through hail of anti
aircraft fire.
THE vigor with which Wilhelms-
haven and Emden were defended
showed the Importance which the
Germans attach to these ports and
also the respect which they feel for
our bombers,' the ministry said.
Snow extended without a break
over the land and frozen water, the
news service said, but added that
the weather did nothing to pro-
tect the dockyards."
Some of the bomberS attacked
Bauhafen Harbor at Wilhelmshaven,
on each side of which there are slips
and drydocks and submarine and
shipbuilding yards, the news service
said.
Just at the west of the harbor one
fire started, which was visible for
so miles, it reported, while later an

nually, Z per cent for those in the
$3.50 to $4,000 bracket and 10 per
cent for those earning S4,100 and
more.
A statement by the Mayor follows:
The disputes concerning the
wage scales of union employees en-
ployed by the city of Chicago where
there may not be comparable out
side wage scale shall be heard and
determined by a committee of six,
to be appointed as follows:
THE Mayor of the city of Chicago
shall appoint three members from
the representatives of the city to
represent the city.
THE labor group shall appoint a
permanent member, who in turn will
appoint the two additional members
from the trade or craft whose case
is being considered by the commit
tee.
I'm the event this committee can
not mutually agree on any matter
before them, a seventh, disinterested
party shall be selected by the COM
mittee of six to act with them, and
the decision of the majority of the
committee. consisting of the six or
seven members, shall be final and
binding on both parties"
The statement also was signed by
the members of the various unions
participating in the conference.
The sporadic strike was brought
on by the city's determination to
slice $500,O00 from the 1941 budget.
It had been proposed to cut 10 per
cent from the salaries of all city
employees earning more than $500
a year.
