from choice, but from necessity

give the human frailty which
yields to temptation under such
conditions-but we cannot for

San intensive study should be

'"This investigation should also

In the report of the Chicago
vice commission presented to the
city council of Chicago there is
an Indictment of modern com
mercialism such as has seldom
appeared in public print.
In a detailed report which is
Endorsed by every member of the

1868 pages, the social evil of Chi
cago is shown to be a tremend-
ously profitable business.
The reports the more startling
in its statements because of the
character and affiliations of the
members of the commission, who
are connected intimately with
leading commercial and profess

Thought the entire report,
which is filed with details of
specific cases, each bearing a key
number which refers to the case

part which economic pressure

summarized as follows:
Low wages in factories, stores.

wherevar women are employed,
including the occupation of
household servants, drive girls

Iron Age Report

New York, June 14.-(Special)-The Iron Age will say tomorrow: The steel market presents more cheer ful aspect. The feeling In Pittsburg is that the worst Is over. and that from this time improvement is to be expected The recent reduction in prices appears to have made good. The volume of new business of steel manufacturers has quite considerably increased in the past l0 days. and the bookings of the past week were larger than those of the previous week.
 Specifications against contracts are more liberal in all lines except those which are influenced to some extent by the approach of the inventory period, about July [. Reports received show that a number of mills in the Pittsburg and Youngstown districts are working fuller l in all departments.
 The pig iron trade is better. although prices are a trihe lower. particularly on southern iron. Quite important trans actions in basic pig Iron have taken place. In addition to 25,000 tons pur- chased by an eastern Pennsylvania steel
 company for fourth quarter delivery. which was reported last week, a southern Ohio steel company has purchased 40Oo tons and New Jersey consumer 40Oo tons, while inquiries are out for other round lots. The aggregate of transac- tions in foundry pig iron is believed to have been somewhat larger than for the previous two or three weeks. An indi- cation of the character of current con sumption Is the fact that Alabama stocks of pig iron on June 1 showed but slight increase on those of May l. and hence the May shipments practically equalled the output of the Alabama fur naces.
 The rail situation shows decided im- rrovement The Kansas City Southern
 has bought 14.0O0 tons; the Pere Mar
 ouette 5000 tons: the Missouri Pacific 2s,
 GOO tons, in addition to the purchase re
 ported last week; the Cuba Central. 8ts,
 tons; the National Railways of Hayti. 5000
 tons. Definite inquiries are in hand for
 quantities ranging from 100O0 to 5000 tons
 from large railroad systems, while of-
 flcers of other lines report that the ques-
 tion of purchasing heavy quantities is un-
 der consideration by their respective
 boards.
 Large inquiries are in the market for
 wrought pipe for gas lnes one of which
 calls for 300 miles of Is to 20-inch.

MOTE OF OPTIMISM | COMES FROM WEST Less Dependency in Other
 Parts of Country STEEL MARKET IS FIRM After Narrow Escape From Demoral- ization Steel Market Is in Good
 Condition--Pig Iron Trade
 Is Improved
STEEL MARKET IS FIRM

Cleveland, O., June H.-( Especial 1.-The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say; A note of optimism comes from the great west where improved crop pros poets and greater willingness on the part of the railroads to buy have caused more cheerful feeling, and in other parts of the country including the Pittsburg district, there is less dependency. In some branches of the iron business, how ever, notably the iron ore and lake trade there are no indications of improvement
 Basic pig Iron has contributed almost the only activity of the week in the pig iron market. An eastern steel plant has taken from 5000 to 1000 tons at about s14.65 delivered, and 5000 tons have been purchased by St. Louis steel foundry from an Ohio furnace. A sale of 1000 tons of No ? foundry pig iron to a sanitary interest on a basis of s13.50 valley has established a new basis in that trade.
 After a period of a few days in which the steel bar market narrowly escaped de- moralization, the market is now firm al l.25c. A new manufacturer in the Cleve- land district caused a decided furry for a day or two by quoting 1.2Oc, and some companies not so new to the business were also under strong suspicion. but cool-headed selling agents averted stampede. Bar iron is now dull, and the usual price is 1.20c at the mills. It is ex- pected that many iron mills will be idle throughout July The annual wage con- ference has recessed until July 5. The manufacturers requested reduction or 10 per cent in the wages of puddlers, 10 which the Amalgamated association would not agree. The report of the special sub way committee dividing the grants for the proposed extensions of New Yorks Rapid Transit facilities between the 1n- terborough and Brooklyn Rapid Transit companies signifies that construction work will soon. begin. The steel require ments for these extensions will be, 1t IS estimated. ultimately 2oo,o00 to 3oo'0oo tons.

Reduce Cost of Production

I went into the combination
 Reduce Cost of Production F Looking at it from the past, he said he judged the merger was to reduce the cost of production.
 After futile attempts to bring out the inside history of the purchase and organ l ization by the American by the various companies, MT. Garrett asked If there was any one who could tell of the deal.
 That I do not know,' replied MT. l Heike, smiling.
 Secretary Freeman of the corporation l produced books of the directors meet 1 ings showing the outright purchase of a majority of the stock of the Baltimore refinery for SIS. 900 in 1892 Where is the resolution showing the abandonment of the Baltimore plant?" inquired Representative Maltby. q am not sure there is one" replied Mir. Freeman.
 MT. Heike. in response to queries said "that he did not know whether, any sugar had been refined at the Baltimore plant after its purchase by the American
 You found that the refinery at Phila- delphia could supply that territory more cheaply and that 1t was not wise to have competition" asked MT Garrett.
 MT. Heike said again that he did not know.
 Representative Garrett questioned MT Heilxe about the purchase and clos ing of the United States Sugar Refin- ing company's plant at Camden. N I.
 Tt was poorly located" said MT. 4Heixe
 "Yet you were willing to pay $7oo.ooo cash for It."
 "Yes, sir"
 He was unable to throw light on the transactions by which the American gained control of the Pennsylvania com pany by loaning money to It's presi- dent Adolph Segal, who gave stock In the Pennsylvania as collateral security. The Pennsylvania refinery, he said, was not operated after it fell into the hands of the American.
 That the American company under President Havemeyer's administration drowned upon the giving of informa- tion regarding the company even to stockholders was brought out at the afternoon session of the committee by a reference to the minute books of the stockholders meetings.
 Chairman Hardwick had inserted into the record as bearing on this point the following resolution adopted at the stockholders meeting, January 13, 1904:
 Resolved. that any information of a general character which the directors may see fit to make public may be furnished to all stockholders and that no further information is to be given to the individual stockholders"
