GARY MILLS ARE AGAIN
FORCED TO TENSION POINT

With some of the mills showing the
largest weekly bookings of new bust
ness OF the year there is little sign of
a recession in the activity of the steel
industry. Taking the United States
Steel corporation a whole, bookings
of new tonnage in March thus far are
considerably in excess of those for a
similar period of either January or
February This is due partly to an
increased activity in inquiry for fourth
quarter delivery and partly to the fact
that a considerable portion of the ton
mage represents material in which the
mills are able to furnish better prom
ises than is the case in some of the
more congested branches. Heavy
products, including skelp, forging bill
let's and structural shapes also are a
considerable factor in the new buying

PARCEL POST HITS
EXPRESS COMPANIES.
TWENTY-FIVE Per Cent Of the Small
Package Business Gone Say the
Attorneys Arguing Against Re.
duction In Rates.

Washington, April 1.-Express
companies Of the country have been
hit hard by the operation Of the new
parcel post system, according to
statements submitted to the Inter-
state Commerce Commission to-day
by counsel for the. companies In their
final arguments against the reduc-
tion OF express rates proposed by the
commission. It was declared that
the companies have suffered loss
approximating twenty-five per cent in
small packages loss Of which
amounts to about six per cent of the
gross revenues Of the companies.
Walker D. Hines asserted that for
the Ave companies he represented
the Adams, United States, Southern
and Wells Fargo-application Of the
proposed rates to present business
would reduce revenues about $26,-s
O0O. 900 q year, Or 5.85 cents on the
dollars worth OF business done.
Such 4 reduction in revenues, he said
would be absolutely destructive. He
maintained. also, that the formulat-
ed rates would disturb seriously
business conditions in large centers
forcing reimbursement Of competitive
business conditions
b f. Fairchild of the New York
Chamber OF Commerce. for the ok
press shippers, attacked Mr.. Hines
argument as purely theoretical and
and insisted that the
rates would yield an ample
revenue to the express companies.
He maintained, also, that the present
allowance made by the express COM
,anies to the railroads for transport
rg services were excessive.
