PRICE CUTTING
IS NECESSARY
Must be Done to Kindle Inter
est Among the
Buyers
New York, Feb. 11.—Further cut
tins of prices Is now being admitted
by producers as necessary to kindle
the Interest of buyers. The conclu
sion reached Is that lack of Import
ant Inquiry In the past nine weeks
of open market conditions Is In part
due to maintaining a level of prloes
too high to encourage barter. How
to get labor to recognise Its part In
the adjustment Is the problem.
The low total of the present Inflow
of emergency orders points to shut
- towns here and there In two or three
months' time. In the severity of
suck happenings, a rewriting of
costs would be possible. Whether the
trade conferences proposed by the
Secretary of Comerce could before
then develop understandings looking
to establishing prices likely to at
tract depends largely on securing
■ official sanction and the broad co
, operation of the manufacturers and
: the steelworkers.
The demand of the automobile
trade is the outstanding feature of
the domestic market. Sheet mills are
■running at 75 per cent of capacity
and mostly for motor cars and
trucks. Some of the alloy steel mak
ers are booked full for six weeks,
•though the early January operations
were only 25 per cent of capacity.
Steel Ingot production for Janu
ary, as estimated by tho American
Tron and Steel Institute, was 3,-
082,427 tons, or 90,000 tons
than December.
Some test of market Ideas will be
made oil February 18, when bids
will be received against a navy In
quiry for 16,000 tons of material,
mostly plates and shapes. Surprise
is shown over a request from the
navy for 20,000 kegs of wire nails,
as the "War Department is supposed
to have on hand 160,000 kegs. A
large Detroit truck maker is also
sounding the market on bar and
structural mill products to the ex
tent of 15,000 tons.
Freight Car Load
of Movie Films
Taken to Bohemia
Paris, Feb. 12.—A whole freight
car of moving picture films has been
taken into Bohemia by the Foyer
du Soldat, that arm of the Ameri
can Young Men's Christian Associa
tion which ministers to the French
and some other foreign armies
over here.
The Foyer took the rough edges
off of trench life so well among the
Ozecho-Slovaks soldiering in France
that when some of Czecho-Slovaks
were designed to go on into Bo
hemia to bring order out of chaos
they appealed to the National War
Work Council to send representa
tives to accompany them.
The Foyer in Paris detailed the
following men: Irving D. Kimball,
of Lowell, Mass.: Ernest .T. Wright,
of Tulsa, Okla.; J. B. McCreary, of
Pittsburgh, Pa., and a Mr. Burlan
and a Mr. Finney were sent from
Italy to join the party.
American Flag Flies
at Ottoman City
Adrianople, Feb. 12.—Via Lon
don.—For tho first time since the
"United States broke relations with
tho Ottoman government, the Amer
ican flag flies on Turkish soil. Over
the American Red Cross relief sta
tion in this little Moslem city the
Stars and Stripes may be seen float
ing alonside the Red Cross flag. The
bright colors have created no little
curiosity among the Turks, many of
whom have never seen the Ameri
can flag before.
The Red ross depot was estab
lished here to supply food and
clothing to the great numbers of
Greek and Serbian refugees who are
returning from points in Bulgaria
and Turkey.
The relief station is in charge of
Israel Marcus of Denver, Col., a
members of the American Red Cross
mission to Greece.
To Make Children's
Clothing From Flags
Munich, Feb. 12. —Bavaria is so
short of material for children's
clothing that the government has
issued an order confiscating all
flags measuring more than twenty
by twenty Inches so as to use the
material in them for tho manufac
ture of children's underwear. A
call has been issued to the public
to donate unnecessary flags for the
same purpose. It is presumed that
the colors will be extracted from
the flags before they are manufac
tured into clothing.
The manufacture of fiag3 of any
sise is forbidden.

POPULATION OF
FRANCE DECREASE
Tllree Quarters of Million
Less Than Four Years
Ago Figures Show
Furls, Feb, 18.—France's civilian
population In fouf years has de
creased by considerably ever three
quarters of a million, without In
eluding the deaths In occupied
northern France, nor the fosses due
directly lo the war,
Official statistics show that In
I*lB he births outnumbered the
deaths by 17,000. But this slight
excess disappeared In tho following
year, since which Umo the deaths
hnve outnumbered the births. The
total excess of deaths over births
for tho four years Is given mm 883,-
160.
Births, which numbered approxi
mately 600,000 in 1018, dropped to
815,000 In 1016, and 348,000 In 1917,
while the deaths Increased, but not
In comparable proportions; so that
the total decrease In population was
due to the great diminution In births
and not to any great Increase In
deaths.

STATE RIGHTS TO
BE ASSERTED
Publio Service Decision in
Perry County Cases Hits
Federal Control
Yhe Public Service Commission In
a decision handed down to-day by
Chairman W, D, B, Alney forcibly
reiterated Its stand in the New Jer
sey Zinc-Central Railroad of New
Jersey ease that the United States
Railroad Administration has not
authority to put Into effect rates for
Intra state traffic without approval
of the commission. Tho decision was
rendered in the complaint of the
Oak Extract Company of Newport
Perry county, against the Newport
and Sherman's Valley Railroad, a
narrow guago lino,
"The contention of the respond
ent that theso rotes can not now bo
changed except In tho manner pre
scribed by tho Inter-States Com
morce Commission can not be sus
tained," said tho chairman, "It thnt
commission had any control over
Intra-state rates, which wo deny, It
wus limited to tho period of federal
control, and ended when the road
was released from that control.
Tills control has been offered as an
excuse for many acts which ws
think are Illegal and In direct vio
lation of the sovereign rights of the
Commonwealth, but the time has
now come when It Is Imperative that
the Btate shall assert Its rights. No
reasonable Interpretation of tho acts
of congress or of the proclamation
of the President can sustain tho po
sition contended for, that Is that
federal control of an intra-state
carrier continues even after such
carrier has been turned back to Its
owners. "The railroad Is Informed
that It must comply with state laws
before It can change rates, and that
It must stop collecting rates other
than those determined by the com
mission by its order of May 88, 1018,
