Washington. May 15.-Stinging
criticism of Secretary of Commerce
Redfield's address to employing litho-
graphers last night was voiced in the
house by Representative Mondell of
Wyoming today. Mondell character
lied Redfield's speech as "threatena
ing American manufacturers with an
investigation If wages were reduced
as a result of tariff revision"
mo statute contemplates that the
department of commerce shall at
tempt to coerce men to continue in
business at a financiai- loss" said
Mondell. HAS the secretary a fund
to compensate manufacturers should
the Underwood bill cause a serious
financial loss?"
Underwood followed Mondell. He
served notice also that a government
investigation of big business lowering
wages with the tariff measure as an
excuse. would be pressed but added
that if any injury was done legitimate
business through the Underwood bill
the mistake would be rectified.
During the tariff hearinggs," said
Underwood, you will find volumes
of statements of manufacturers under
oath declaring that If the democratic
house dared to reduce the tariff they
would take the reduction out of la
Dor in thu mills and factories and not
out of their profits"

read part of a circular issued by the
lithographers' association, in which it
predicted that the passage Of the un-
derwood bill foreshadowed idle work
men, lower wages and longer hours.

MANY USES FOR STEEL.
Consumption of Sheet Specialties
Now Without Parallel.
From the Iron Trade Review

From the Iron Trade Review.
The present situation in sheet steel is
without a parallel. especially in the con-
sumption of specialities which only a few
mills able to make successfully. 1t is
a we'll known fact that premiums of not
orders for full picked sheets for delivery
up to December 81 1913. and published
quotations on ordinary products are no
longer considered as Q. base for prizes Of
finely finished soft sheet steel. The few
mills engaged in this particular work are
sold up for deliveries until the end of
this year, and the estimated requirements
are not filled. Frequently questions are
asked about what the material is used
for. and the Iron Trade Review Is able
through the courtesy of a subscriber,
who il a sheet manufacturer, to pull q
partial list. as follows:
Medium grades-Kegs and barrels. Tacks
for shoes, carpets and upholstery. Beer
cases. egg cases. Burial vaults and cas-
kets. Pressed steel radiators. Fence posts,
enameled sinks. wheelbarrow trays some
pressed hot and some cold. F1attened
sheets for agricultural implements.
signs. Expanded sheet steel lathing. Gas
holders. Light tanks. Powder kegs. AL
kali drums. Stove boards. Range boilers
Sheet steel wheels. Sheet steel ceilings
Umbrella rods.
All sheet steel used for the purposes
mentioned is required to be something OF
superior finish to one-pass cold rolled
| sheet steel and of guaranteed physical
quality.
Second grades-Sheet steel of good sur
face free from detachable scale to be used
for buggy and carriage bow sockets. Fine
light tubing for baby carriages. bicycles
and motor cycles. spectacle cases, stove
board. stove pipe and many other pur-
poses.
Highest grades-Sheet steel for auto
mobile parts, such as tenders hoods
bodies. special deep drawing stock for
peculiar shaped bodies and grades made
| for step hangers. running boards, tool
boxes, brake drums and lamp Innings.
