CHICAGO, Jan, 27,--Acquisition Of a con-

STEEL CORPORATION
HARD HIT BY TARIFF
Net Earnings Of 1923. 136.349
for Last Quarter a Big
Decrease.
OTHERWISE A GOOD YEAR
Prosperous Early Periods Bring
Figures for 1913 Up to
S137,133.868.

The United States Steel Corporations
net earnings OF S23.136,349 for tho Deem
her quarter. published yesterday. are the
most striking exhibit yet of tho effeot OF
the tariff on the steel industry.
This figure was tho lowest for the Do
cember quarter In the history Of the Cor
poration with the exception OF 1910. 1908
and 1904. The earnings for the last quar-
ter Of 1919 contrast with the big earnings
~ tho three other quarters. which were
$3s45O,io0 for the September period si.-
sis.si3 for the June quarter. which was
exceeded only once In the history OF the
Corporation, and s34,42s.sO1 for the March
quarter.
The earnings we're disappointing. for
although tho financial community looked
for a big reduction from the previous
quarter 1t expected that the quarter would
show practically s:5.00o,o0o earned. In
the last week there was expectation OF
even higher CRAVINGS than this, based In .
measure on tho hope that the moderate
revival in the trade had struck In during
q part of December.
Dcacit for Quarter.
The drastic falling Oft IN business and
In prices since the taf1n went TITO eIte't
on October 2. the beginning Of the last
quarter, was SO great that the earnings Of
the Corporation for the quarter were not
sufYicient for It's dividend charges OF the
quarter. After payment of It's common
and preferred stock dividends deficit OF
S1,0O2304 for the quarter was shown.
This was In spite OF the fact that the
amount deducted from net earnings for de-
probation was reduced from ss.s2s.2l4 in
the September quarter TO sS.''2.'2+ for
the last quarter.
Conservative steel men asserted that
the showing. though in measure disdp-
pointing WAS good when the conditions
faced during the quarter are cons !dered-
In the light OF the remarkable record or
the Steel Corporation for the year. which
became available with the publication OF
the las; quarters figures. and the mod
erately improved feeling in the steel In
dustry now developing the outlook for
the year. IL was asserted is by no means
discouraging.
The Steel Corporation for the year
would have made a record for net earn
ings exceeded only twice in its history
II the earnings for the last quarter had
continued at the rate Of the three others.
As IL was the record for the year was
vast improvement over that of 1911 and
1912.

Net earnings OF sl37.13S,363 for the
year ended December 81. 1913. were ex-
coeded only three times in the history or
the Corporation. the high record being
Sl6o.96i.674 in 1907 Last year the net

The Return Trip.

The return trip was made last Mon
day morning. the same route being fol-
lowed as far as Northeast and Bay View.
Instead Of following the route from Bay
View to Calvert and Rising Sun, we cut
across country to Battle Swamp, but
found the road rough and hilly and no
comparison to the long route via Rising
Sun. For this reason motorists are ad-
vised to follow the detour as indicated
by the signs along the fences and tele-
graph poles between Perryville and
Northeast. While the distance Is eight
miles shorter by eliminating thaat por-
ton of the route. taking in Calvert and
Rising Sun, the character Of the road
does not justify taking the shorter route.
The long route il good every foot Of the
way, and q pleasure to motor over.
The elapsed time on the return trip
was 8 hours and 40 minutes. leaving the
actual running time hours and II min
utes, after deducting the time at the
ferry and at dinner In the afternoon at
Havre de Grace. The start was made
from Atlantic City at 7:1O o'clock.
Washington being reached at 4:4S
o'clock In the afternoon. The run from
Baltimore was made In 1 hour and
minutes. No trouble was encountered on
the return trip. which covered 1870
miles by reason Of the shortening OF the
route at different points. Robert Wat.
son, chief clerk of the Department OF
Labor, Joined the motor party in At
lantic City and returned over the road
The itinerary Of the trip, together with
the mileage is as follows:
