Board Answers Objections 10 Price Schedule
Washington April 5 Revised steel prices arranged by the industrial board of the department of commerce with producers will be reconsidered if shown a good and sufficient reason. Chairman George N Peel says the board will revisit only if warranted and notes conferences with the railroad administration were delayed. Officials discuss whether prices will serve as a basis for public purchases or only for government buying. Navy bids for 20000 tons of structural steel were uniform but competition was cited as required by law. The Shipping Board accepts the new prices for future contracts, hoping lower costs boost shipbuilding. Southern Pine association denies entering price agreement while Peel says industry was invited to cooperate to stabilize prices.
