New York, May 9.—Walker D. Mines, Director General of Railroads, announced that the railroad admin istration will ask immediately for competitive bids for 200,000 tons of steel rails. Sir. Hincs' announcement was made after be had been informed by his representatives that they Ipid been unable to induce representa tives of the large manufacturers at a conference here yesterday to agree upon a reduction of the schedule of steel prices approved by the Indus trial Hoard of the Department of Commerce. Sir. Mines declared it was his settled purpose to buy steel materials upon the competitive bid ding basis as rapidly as they ar needed. He issued the following statement: "In iiecordancc with the sugges tions from Secretary Redlield and Chairman Peek, of the Industrial Board, the railroad administration ! representatives, Slessrs. Henry B. Spencer and T. C. Powell, had a conference yesterday with represent | ntives of the steel interests. Messrs. Spencer and Powell offered specific criticisms of the steel prices hereto fore proposed and suggested maxi mum prices which the railroad ad ministration would feel justified in paying for the various steel articles which the railroads use in important quantities, including steel ruils. To Ask For Bids "It was made clear that the rail road administration did not wisti to obtain preferential prices compared with the general public. The steel interests were unwilling to make any change in the prices announced in March. The conferences on this subject are at an end and the rail road administration will, in accord ance with its settled purpose, pro ceed as rapidly as it needs steel ma terials of any kind to ask for com petitve bids and purchase according ly. The railroad administration will at once, in accordance with this pol icy, ask for bids for 200,000 tons of steel rails. "Byway of comment on the prices proposed in March, as well as in support of the prices suggested by the railroad administration, the fol lowing views were expressed by Messrs. Spencer and Powell: "The reduction since the war In a single clement of cost is so great as to make the prices proposed by the steel interests and the industrial Board practically as profitable to the ' I prices prevailed during the war. J upon the basis of which the steel interests made enormous profits. | This item of cost is the price of j scrap materials, which is not a con trolled commodity, but the price of which fluctuates according to supply I and demand and which, of course, i [ can be and is used verv largely in the making of steel products. Making Big Profits "The fall in the price of scrap material from $3O per ton to about $l3 per ton has been so great that the resulting decrease in the cost of steel products is practically as grec as the total proposed reduction in the prices of steel products. There fore. while the public has thought the steel interests ought to make and could well afford to make important concessions to encourage the re sumption of business, the fact is that on account of the reduction in the prices of scrap material alone the prices proposed for steel products represent no concc ons whateve from war-time profits. "That the steel interests have made profits so large as to make substantial concessions practicable under existing conditions without af fecting the wages, is strikingly illus trated by a consideration of the profits made by the steel interests for the calendar year 1918. "The United States Steel Corpora tion for the year 1918 reports the net earnings from all rolled ton nage, before deducting income tax, excess profits tax, etc., a profit of about $33 per ton. "The Midvaie Steel Company for the same period shows a profit of approximately $35 per ton. "This statistical information for other steel-producing companies for the year 1918 is not yet published, but their financial statements indi cate results which were correspond ingly favorable. "The arguments which have been presented in the effort support the prices proposed by the steel in terests and the Industrial Board have rested upon costs incurred dur ing the war period. Even those costs show exceedingly handsome profits to the low cost producers, but it is obvious that these costs, without reduction in wages, on account of the termination of the war, will be subject to very important reductions in addition to the great reduction In the cost of scrap material already referred to. "The war costs appear in many ■r.stances to involve a heavy increase in the rovaltv on the assumed value ->f c"> >n the ground. This in d'd not represent an actual In coat so far as the pro ducers of the ore were concerned, bill simply represented a heavy ad ditional profit. Yet this increased profit in ore appears to bo included in the war cost upon which the figures have been based. The cost of coke has fallen substantially from $3 to $4 per ton, representing a saving of from $3 to $5 per ton of iron. "The steel interests and the In dustr'al Board have proposed a price of $38.50 for steel billets and yet they have proposed prices for finish ed steel products which are wholly out of line with the price for steel billets. The differentials which the steel interests and the Industrial Board propose for the finished prod ucts as compared with steel billets are so great as to make the prices for the finished products altogether unattractive and altogether unjusti fiable. especially in the light of the considerations already pointed out." Girl Fakes Suicide in Cell to Escape From Hospital Unlontown. May 9.—Olive Hanan, aged 20, attempted a fake suicide when she was lodged in the Wyan dotte count" Jail, following her ar rest. with four others, on the charge of the larceny of an automobile, ac cording to word received from Bucyrus.
