George N. Peek, j chairman of ths department of com-' merce's industrial board, which was din-' solved last week after a long controversy with ths railroad administration eon-! cerning steel prices, declared in a state ment tonight that the public would j 'demand an explanation ef the wreck ing, apparently on the obstinacy of a single individual, of a plan to make aa immediate reduction in the cost of liv ing of such sn nppsrent national value." Fennd Itself Checked. "I can only eonjecture an explana tion, said Mr. Peek. "Throughout the baffling controversy the board has found itself cheeked by forces in opposition which it could neither understand, rea son with, nor overcome, but which grew in strength until they rendered fur ther progiess impossible snd forced abandonment of the plan. "In ths ordinary the plan has been approved almost unanimously by busi ness men and associates and by editorial and press comment the eountry over; In practice the plan has been proved by the order books of steeT producers and the buying revival which immediately followed the announcement of steel prices sad ceased Immediately upon the lailrosd administration's rejection of hose prices. Criticise Secretary Glass. "It is inconceivable that the railroad administration's unsubstantial objection alone wss sufficient to justify the aban donment of a policy or such Impor tance. Nor toward the end has the director general been alone ia thwarting the purpose of the board. The secre tary of the treasury has taken a stand ia direct contradiction with hit metaagt to the Pretident urging the creation ot the board. - The attorney general hat rendered en opinion that the plan ef the board contravene! the Sherman net but ths facta assumed ns ths basis of thst opinion art an inconsistent with ths actual sours ef conduct of ths board as to render the opinion inapplicable, yet it has been used as s bstu for th sbsndonment of the board's plan. Sought Reason In Vain. "In all this opposition ths board hss sought in vain for substantial rea son. It has urged ths Railroad Ad' ministration, first to .aid it by one single fact, or agreement, to arrive at a lower price for ateel sad, second, to asms n price which the Railroad Ad ministration would consider fair. The Railroad Administration's only tnswer has been that ths steel pries announced by the board la 'too hig'.i'l If 'too high' means that the Railroad Adminis tration can force lower prices, by smashing industry, smashing labor, smashing the public interest, snd throwing production into the hands of the most powerful and lowest cost pro ducers, the board agrees that the price is 'too high.' But it was precisely these results the board was set up to prevent tnd the ease ttandt proved that lower prices without these results srs im possible. Still the Railroad Adminis tration persists and announces spe cifically that Its only view of a low pries is one that shall, by inherent attractiveness, induce buying not by the Railroad .Administration alone but alto by ths old railroad corporations who are so ably represented in the ad ministration by the Director-General hi self and by Messrs. Lovett and Wal ters, who have hesded the opposition to the board." "That the admlniatration would com mit itaelf agalnat the public, interest merely to support ths snrient snd dis credited railroad slogan, ''The public be damned,' is unthinlmhle. Vet after all it ia the administration, not the Director-General alone, who had power to thwart the board. "Confusing th Issue." "T' us, there is no question that the board was set up to do exactly what it has done, and was set up with the full knowledge aad assent of the ad ministration and was given God-speed upon its wsy by Mr. Glass. The record on this point is so clear that only a quibbling lawyer with an imagination inflamed with interest could find sn excuse to pervert it. Vet exactly this course hae been pursued, and not by the Director-General alone. It serves no purpose save to confuse the issue.

Tw ne groes were killed gad at least seventeen others wer wounded severely enough to b treated si ths Municipal hospital la ths rioting hsrs Inst night and early this morning between sailors and white civilians on ons side nnd negroes on th other, it was established today by eity and county authorities. Seven blue jackets alto ax reported to have been wounded. At n result of the disorders, leaves of absence of practically all blue jackets at tke navy yard and the naval training camp were cancelled today ex cept to the few who will be permitted to leave the reservation on special per. mils. In ths meantime the naval au thorities are conducting a searching In vestigation into the disorders. County Otroner John U. Mansfield has ordered inquests into the deaths of the two negroes, James Talbert and Isaae Doctor, and is collecting evidence in these cases. Preesattona Against Another Outbreak. The police department hss taken pre cautiona against another outbreak even though the sailors srs not permitted by the naval authorities to come into the eity. The marine, which were ordered out last night to patrol ths streets, were withdrawn early today, but arrange ments have bees made for them to again take up this duty should it become nec essary. Practically all the rifles taken by the sailors from shooting galleries which were raided during the rioting, have been recovered. Orlfta ef Trouble. Reports concerning the origin of the trouble are conflicting. The police, how ever, any that according to the best ia formation they hava been able to ob tnin the rioting waa precipitated when the negro, Isaae Doctor, was fatallv i wounded after he had shot a sailor. ! The bluejackets have refused to say what they know about this occurrence. ine ponce say. ine negro prisoner tnd pttientt also have professed ignor ance of it. Just how word of the disorders spread so rapidly among the sailors on leave in the city has not been explained, but about 2,000 of them appeared in a very few minutes after their comrade was reported to hava been shot, and tttrted on a' hunt shouting "got the negroes.'
