STEEL QUITS PITTSBURGH PLUS Decides Not to Fig fit Trade Body's Order. " Washington.--Compliance with the order of the federal trade commission abolishing the Pittsburgh plus system of quoting prices of rolled steel products was announced by the United States Steel corporation. A formal note of compliance was filed with the commission by the corporation and Its various subsidiaries, which were respondents in the case. In taking this action the steel manufacturers abandoned their original intention to carry the case to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals and thence to the Supeme court of the United States. In tlie# notice of compliance it is stated that the validity of the order or tbe Jurisdiction of the commission Is not admitted. The inference given is that public sentiment ugainst the continuance of the system under which prices have been quoted on a Pittsburgh basis plus freight from Pittsburgh to destination, even when shipments are made from a less distant point, has become so strong as to make it useless to continue the fight further. The action of the steel corporation brings final victory to the middle western interests which for five years have fought for the abandonment of a practice which they held to be a discrimination against consumers throughout the West and South.
