CART TALKS ON SELLING PRICES Believes That a Voluntary Reduction Must Come to Assure a HEALTHFUL CONDITICN Spoke at American Iron & Steel Institute—Gives His Reasons < UnltfMl Press Service) New York, Oct. 22. - (Special to Daily Democrat) Further adjustment of steel prices must be made, K. 11. ! buy. president of tho United States Steel corporation told the American Mrcn K- Sioei Institute here today. Gary said lie considered voluntary reduction in selling prices and do reuses in'orders in certain lines ot the industry as a healthful condition. "All or nearly all of us. have f,u months been unable to supply tiie do•nands of our customers ns to quantity r deliveries and our prices, considered is a whole, have resulted in prod's," Gary said. "As a matter of course, some adjust : nent- will have to be made. The average of the general scale ought to be pduced equitably and relatively. Without referring to individual eases nr lines or general business, 1 holier : i many instances prices have been ■itrageouslv high. This observation applies more especially to middlemen : ;o called, and to smaller departments :f industry. It also included employ ! °s in certain trades but it does not per i *ain under present condition- to tin ■lasses of workmen.” “I.ahor questions are always under • “onsiderntion in tills country anil oth ers It should he constantly borne ii mind that in order to secure the best results both to employe and employer mutual confidence and friendly coot •ration are essential. "The present tendency is toward ? ’ower and more reasonable and fair*" i relative basis. The whole community desires and strives for this. The difficulty is found in the fact that ever’ ’"dividual is perfectly willing that a!’ ethers shall make reductions—the 'arger the better. As there was mo-f •r less of a scramble for higher and -till higher prices when they were ad I vancing there will be just as much clfishness in enforced use of brakewhen there is a tendency toward d* | Teasing prices.” RUTH BASE PALI | — A Spaulding Autographed by Famous Home Run King Received Here BY E.

This was decided late yesterday at a meeting of the Indiana high school athletii association. Invitations by Purdm and Indiana universities to entertain the state meet were not accepted. it was decided tentatively that not more than 16 teams will participate ; n the finals, because a large nurnbei of teams means a great many game: and was said to lie exhaustive to tin players. A motion to hold a north and south Indiana state tourney and then hav. the victor of each meet in Indfanap' olis was lost. It was explained such a plan would divide tiie association. Another motion would prohibit the coaches front receiving gifts or remuneration other than that given by the school board. This passed. An effort to raise the age limit of players from 21 years to permit those students having been in military ser--1 vices to resume their posts on the team was defeated. 1 The vote on giving Indianapolis the state meeting was; Indianapolis 11 fi: Purdue 101; Indiana 71.

ROOT AIMING TO STEM THE TIDE Towards Governor C’ox by His Eleventh Hour Appeal in Behalf of SENATOR HARDING Republican Platform Does Not Even Support the Lodge Reservations Enroute With Governor Cox, Philadelphia, Oct. 22 (Special to Daily Democrat) Governor Cox, beginning I his first invasion of New Jersey to day, was considering counter-moves against what he believes is an eleventh hour attempt of Kiihu Root, hacked by Senator Harding to stein tiie tide he says has swept toward his candidacy. After reading Root’s reply to his telegram demanding that th.- republican leader retract his statement bat “Mr. Cox wants the league just s Mr. Wilson negotiated it." tiie jovetnor said the apparent objective if this movement is to misrepresent lis attitude on reservations from ow until election day. Cox believes tbat Root is endeav ‘ iring to create "the false issue" of he league as written versus the eague with the laxlge reservations. He said he noted similar tactics in i Harding's Rochester speech. “Suddenly the republicans, after heir candidate has declared in favoi f rejection of the league, begins atking of the Lodge r servations.' ie said. “Senator Lodge did not vrite an indorsement of his reservaions into the republican platform nil at no time during tiis somersauitng on this issue has Senator Hardiq; declared in favor of them. "If the child is abandoned by its v/n father, 1 shall not consider myelf duty bound to act as its guard in." said Cox.
