National Follows U. 5. Steel
In Dropping Base Prices
By the Associoied Press

PITTSBURGH, July 12.-Ernest
T. Weir, chairman of the National
Steel Corp, today announced the
firm and its producing subsidiaries
have abandoned the so-called basing
point system on steel sales.
Nationals action follows that of
the United States Steel Corp. last
week.
Mr.. Weir said that in all future
shipments prices will be quoted at
the mills without freight charges.
He added that if the customer de-
sires delivered prices of mill quota
tions plus freight will be furnished.
Until United States Steel set the
pace last week the industry GUS
tomarily had absorbed freight costs
to meet competition. This was the
so-called basing point system in
which a customer some distance
from a mill paid the same delivery
price as those closer to the shipping
point

Early Trials SET
ForTwoArrested
In Cafe SHOOTING
Nelson Due to Face
Court Next Monday,
Leoke q Week Later
By Chris Mothisen

Chief Justice Bolitha j. Laws of
District Court today fixed trial dates
for two men charged with intent
to kill following a shooting affray
in cafe last January which be-
came known as the Brass Rail
case"
The men, who were wounded, also
are charged with assault with a
deadly weapon. They are Charles
Henry Nelson and Henry M. Leake,
both 81 and colored.
Nelson will be tried next Monday
and Leake, week later, Justice
Laws announced. The old case at
tracted renewed attention recently
when Nelson and Leake appeared
the special grand jury investigating
gambling here. 1t was assumed the
grand jury was seeking to determine
whether gambling dispute pre-
ceded the alteration.
Summer Trial Unusual.
Several days of the inquiry were
devoted to the case, which drew
its name from the cafe at 1739
Seventh street NV. in which the
ShootlngS occurred.
Because cases in which the de-
PENDANTS are free on bond are not
usually heard during the summer
recess of District Court, unless they
promise to be short or are urgent,
it had not been thought Nelson and
Leake would be tried before fall.
Assistant United States Attorney
Charges B. Murray indicated in
court today he was agreeable to
early trials if Justice Laws decided
10 schedule them during the recess.
Defense attorneys said they were
ready for trial.
United States Attorney George
Morris Fay said later he was assign
ing an additional assistants to help
Mr.. Murray prepare the cases. In
view of the number OF witnesses
heard in connection with the shoot
ings by the special grand jury, it
was thought as many as 20 Wit
nesses would be called by the Gov
ernment in the trials.
Advised Not to Answer.
Since the special grand jury has
made no returns it is not known
whether investigation of the Brass
Rail incident developed a gambling
angle. Leakes attorney, Curtis P.
Mitchell, advised him not to answer
questions before the special grand
jury on the ground his answers
might incriminate him.
In Municipal Court today 1siah
Queen, 81, colored. of the 3700 block
of Jay street NE, pleaded not
guilty when arraigned before Judge
George D. Nelson on charge OF
possessing lottery slips. He asked a
jury trial, which was set for August
II. and bond was fixed at $500.
Earlier a charge of operating a
lottery, which had been placed
against Queen, was dismissed for
lack Of evidence by United States
hCornmissioner Needham G. Turnage.
