Opea Shop in Steel Mills.
.In explanation of the new wage scale
posted a few days ago at mills of the
American Sheet and Tin Plate company,
Elbert H. Hary, chairman of the United
States Steel corporation, made tha follow
ing statement today:
"Most of the mills of th American
Sheet and Tin Plat company her have
for some yeara been operated aa 'open
shops,' the other were run as union mills
and with these th wage scale has been
signed on July 1 of each year. Th man
agement of th American Sheet and Tin
Plate company haa dlcovered It haa been
discriminated against and In other ways
unfairly treated by the Amalgamated as
sociation; tha management also discovered
beyond question that a decided majority
of the men prefer to have all the mills
operated as 'open shops.' Under these
conditions It has become clear It is for the
best interests for the operators to con.
form to the wishes of th majority. A a
result th oompany posted notices accord
ingly and also posted ths wag scale
effective on and after July 1, which In all
essential respects 1b unchanged. There is
no dispute regarding wages. It la clear
that th employes have appreciated the
attitude of the company in its maintenance
of th high level of wages in ythe period
of great business depression."

the vast traffic of tha continent more
smoothly, more equitably and with leas
discrimination between localities was th
object of a hearing held at th Interstate
Commerc commission today In further
ance of the effort of the National Aeeo

code of rule tentatively agreed upon by
a committee, of which Interstate Commerce
Commissioner Franklin K. Lan I th
chairman, was nnder discussion all day.
To representatives of railways and ship
pers' organizations present from all parts
of th United States, Commissioner Lan
aid: .
"We are here trying an experiment and
one which may prove of Incomparable
value In the solution- of some of the most
perplexing of our railroad problems.
"I need not attempt to enlarge upon the
necessity for greater harmony In car serv
ice rulea Th condition obtaining is on
of chaoa. Ws are endeavoring to- bring
about order. W wish fundamentally to
recognise fully th right of both carrier
and shippers the right of th carrier to
th fullest poaalbl and practicable us f
Ita equipment; the right of the chipper to
the use of the car to whatever extent auoh
uae la to him necessary as a shipper or
receiver of freight. W cannot expect that
th rulea drafted will be satisfactory to
all shippers, nor to all sections of tha
country nor to all carrier. We are seek
ing on behalf of all shippers an avoidance
of eoodltlon whloh existed two year age,
and that obtained practically throughout
th country condition of car- ahortag
Which rose to the dignity of a national
calamity."
It is expected that eventually a set of
rulea will be prepared thai generally will
b reasonably satisfactory, x
