IT AVERTS SETS STEEL PRICE In Position to Force All Pro ducers to Adopt Its Own ; Price Lists ; WASHINGTON, April 29. A formal complaint against the United States Steel corporation and 11 subsidiary companies, alleging unfair competition in interstate commerce, was Issued to day by the Federal Trade commission Thus the commission finally, has de cided : that It has sufficient Jurisdiction to take "up -the long-standing ' com plaints by various users ' of steel products and others against the al-i leged use by the corporation: of the de vice known as "the Pittsburgh plus pri?e." . ; It was anounced, however, that the commission had divided three to two, Chairman Thompson and Commission ers Tollard and Nugent voting for Is suance of the complaint, ana commis sioners Gaskill and Murdock dissent ing. . ". '::" -'t:, The steel, corporation and Ws sub sidiaries are given' 80 'days or until May 31, to make formal answer to the complaint, after which the case will proceed to trial on its merits. The complaint was issued under the Clay ton anti-trust act and the law estab lishing the commission and the com mission's annoucement ; said the case was "an outgrowth of conditions com plained of by more than 2,700 manu facturers of .steel In. the Chicago, Du luth and Birmingham districts, by legislators of three states, by several municipalities, and by cjiambers' of cpmmerce and many business organi zations throughout, the United States." The "Pittsburgh plus price" ! is de scribed' at length In the ; commission's announcement which -, says that under it "all steel, except - rails, .whether made in United States Steel corporaT (ion. plants or by its independents, ". is sold at the f. o?b.' Pitsburgh price plus, an amount equivalent ;to, , the freight to Doint oi destinations, and. as an il lustration the e.omt?lalntad;'thaC.thW 'meanjr tbat"the Cary r steel fatiricatof wlio runs his .own truck to Jthc? Gary, Tnd ' steel mill rtA . niinh.ei steel manufactured LkI thatv plant,1 must pay the price charged-In Pittsburgh. 'plus an amount equaling the freight- rpute' ' from Pittsburgh to Gary." . . The complaint is not limited,, how ever, to the alleged use of this- device. It charges specifically ' that ythe steel corporation "owns .and' controls the ultimate iron ore supply ln.'the'Unlted States" and tfiat because of "its power and influence' through the last percent age of the steel manufacturing busi ness done by it and supported by it; its consequent potential power to em barrass or destroy its competitors by unduly lowering its nrice schedules is tantamount to the naming by the steel corporation of prices that are to." be charged-by all steel manufacturers in the United States." The charge also Is made that the steel corporation "for at least seven years has issued from time to time price quotations and schedules cover-! ing rolled steel manufactured by Its subsidiaries and that these quotations are adopted by all' of the respondent subsidiaries and their competitors, substantially as their quotations - of prjees, and that this alleged practice of steel manufacturing in fixing uniform prices succeeded the custom , which formerly - prevailed - whereby . such manufacturers openly met at Intervals and agreed upon prides which they were to charge and maintain.
