SCHWAB URGES STEEL PRICES BE STABILIZED By the Associated Press. EDGEWATER GULF HOTEL, Miss. November 16.—A one-price policy and - mutual settlement of the differences be- tween steel mills producing structrual material and the fabricators, who pur- chase the product, was advoca by Charles M. Schwab in his address be- fore the American Institute of Steel Construction here. It was Mr. Schwab’s opinion that a one-price policy in the steel industry, if ¥enerllly adopted by the mills, would go ar toward stabilizing industry. Under present conditions, he pointed out, there are some $8,000,000,000 invested in the steel industry, which is earning less than 5 per cent. That condition, he said, should be changed. The Bethlehem Steel Co. magnate made it clear that he would not permit a plant of his to compete with the in- dependent steel fabricators. Mr, Schwab favored change in ‘he Sherman law to provide that business | men_ should sit down and determine how best to dispose of their product. He declared it not contrary to public interest for producers to divide terri- tories and customers among themselves, under supervision. STOCK QUICKLY SOLD.
