breaks in mid-western cities. Orderly

GARY WILLING THAT
UNFAIR COMPETITION
CHARGES BE PROBED
Trade Commission Com-
plains “System” Harts In-
dependent Steel Concerns.
New Yorit. April 30.—Judge Elbert
* 11. Gary ebnirman of the United
States Steel Corporation in a state-
ment touight on the complaint filed
against that concern and all subsidiaries
by the federal trade rommisaioii alleg-
ing unfair competition declared lie
"will he glad to have the whole mat-
ter fully and carefully considered” and
a "final decision reached.”
Tbe complaint alb *ed that <
tion is engaging in unfair competitjon
in interstate commerce affecting 27tw;
"independent” steel concern* through
employment of a system known a* th*
"Pittsburg plus price.” The corpora-
tion was ;ivrn until May 31 to answer
the complaint.
"It is a mistake tn suppose that thr
proceedings before the federal trade
I <*onimi**ion are directed against the
United State* Steel Corporation or any
manufacturing concern.” Gary said.
"They were institutefl by those who buy
steel for fabrication in points in the
west or middle west. The petitioner*
claim the bn*e of delivery of steel on
। whiyji to calculate purchasing costs
should not be confined tn Pittsburg
but should be extended so a* to in-
clude Chicago and |wrhap* otter man
ufacturing points. The baling point*
I mean* that selling prices are determine*
f. o. b. Pittsburg and that deliver
prices are ascertained by adding frrigh
from Pittsburg to the point of deliv
ery.”

tion of the standing army of the United
States to an average of 150000 men
during ibe fiscal year ending June 30
1022 was approved by the bouse today.

publican leader* that the size be fixed

had urged that the number be 175- i
000.
The vote today indicated that more
than one-third of the house Republicans
will refuse to follow party leadership
for a larger army. The breaking away
of the big block of Republican votes
followed an appeal of Republican Lead-
er Mondell for an army of 168000 and
marked the first insurgency in the
party ranks iu the house this session.
The Democrats present with one excep-
tion. Harrison Virginia voted for the
reduction.

D mte la HeaM.
The resolution now goes to the Louw.
The final hour* of the discusaioß were
. inarked by charges from the Demomtiß
>ide that the resolution is an effort
by a coterie of Republican ‘euators to
dictate President Harding** fordfll *
jwlicy and by a counter charge on the
Republican side that Democratic opposi-
tion is based on the fear that the reso-
lution ends for nil time the hope of
ratification of the Versailles treaty.
It also brelight from Senator Lodge
party leader a statement that a treaty
with Germany probably would follow
the resolution and that it would require
72 amendments to separate the Versail-
les treaty from the league covenant.
Taken together these statementa were
interpreted by some senators as indi-
cating that the Harding policy contem-
plated a separate peace treaty with
Germany which will disregard the Ver-
sailles treaty entirely.
Force Harding's Hand.
Senator Hitchcock Nebraska leading
• fight Faid the r- solu-
tion is /q attempt to force Harding's
hand.
“ft is an effort by a coterie of Re-
publican senator*” he said "to make
good the boast heard during the cam-
paign that hereafter the dominant group
in the .senate would run thin nation’*
' foreign affairs. It is a deliberate at-
i tempt to force him finally to give up
the Versailles treaty as a means of set-
' dement and to make separate treaty
I of peace.”
Senator Borah. Idaho made th*
• barge that the treaty is being disre-
. garded by France and Great Britain.
"The allies are in Germany today
not in accordance with the terms it
the treaty but in violation of them**
I said Borah.
Borah said there wa« a covert ef-
fort by some Republicans and Demo*
’ rats to get the treaty ratified by tha
senate.
"Europe will never recover until the
treaty has been abandoned or revised."
he said "it is reducing Europe to a
‘‘tate of chronic revolution. I have lit-
tle doubt if Woodrow Wilson were
called on now to help execute the
treaty he would refuse.”
