What a Steel Price Reduction May Mean It is much too soon for the sliout- II, over the pricu reduction made by steel, big mid little, but it isn't too soon for hoping. A slash in- the price of steel without an accompanying reduction in wages has been one of the major sa- lients in the New Deal's bitter struggle with business, ami there must have been considerable rejoicing in the Roosevelt camp when the word of the reduction went out. Independent companies started the price break and were followed almost, immediately by U. S.

Steel. Just previous to the reduction announcement, S. Steel and its subsidiaries had signed an agreement with S. W. 0.

C. I. 0. affiliate, guaranteeing, at least temporarily, a continuation of present high hourly wages. To most observers important thing about the reduction' is not the actual benefit which consumers will feel the lowered price of a ton for cold reduced, oiled sheets.

The enthusiasm over the price reduction conies instead from related factors. Greatest of these is the fact that an industry employing more than a million men plunges into the experiment of reducing prices without reducing wages in the present recession. Other industries and other employers may feel that if steel can do it, so can they. It-is-the lii'st; break in the deadlock between businesa government which is blamed in' n'ianjpiiiidi'tc'rs fof the slump in II may be the factor which starts a tremendous ball rolling. A reduction in the price of sheet steel is important mostly to automobile manufacturers, representing to saving of approrimately $2 a car.

But the particular sheet steel in 'which the price was reduced is now placed in direct competition with other and cheaper steel products, and never in steel's history has one steel product been reduced in price without accompanying price slashes in most other steel products very shortly. Many believe that only high steel prices have held up the building trade and that with a reduction in steel building materials there will be a sufficient boom in that industry to make steel price reduction profitable on ft volume basis. ITiese are the things (he New Deal hopes to a break in the block- which wi)J start an. tjvslanfhe of returned business confidence, p)un try a whole and pull the country out of. the.

doldriin.JH. Cross-Country Toll; i President Roosevelt' in reported as and Ohio's Senator Bulkley as preparing a bill an eight billion-dollar transcontinental system of Kelt'-liiinidating superhighways. The system would be financed with bonds issued by a new federal highway corporation and repaid by toll charges. If the New Deal decides that it is necessary to begin a fresh government spending campaign in the United Stales to restore employment, there is a lot to be said in favor of a transcontinental highway system, scienlili- rally built, carefully controlled and restricted. Certainly more Americans won) (Jbunelit by it than by, say cleaning rubbish from vacant lots.

And certainly there would be a greater chance of getting at least some of the money back other than through increased taxes. Exclusively "touring" highways that traversed the nation as arterial speedways would take a great burden of traffic from state roads that now too often bisect cities. American drivers would have to be sold the idea of loll roads, but they might even in time grow to like the plan, if the superhighways offered advantages enough.
