Steel Slump Continues,
Reports the Iron Age

Steel production during the first
half of this month is far below Au-
gusts record, the poorest of the year,
says the Iron Age in it's review of the
steel situation. 1t further predicts
that so far as the steel trades is con-
|cerned the beneficial effects of the
European war will be slow in being
felt here.
The Review says:
THE unvarying report from iron
and steel centers is that the first half
of September has been the quietest
period of the year Manufacturing
consumers of steel products have late
ly made such curtailments that speci-
fications on existing contracts with the
mills have fallen off, so that in some
forms of steel production is now less
than in August.
THE indications are now palmer
that the favorable effects of the war
upon American steel trade will de-
velop slowly and that for a longer or
shorter period before they appear the
industry must submit to some further
readjustments.
THE straits of the railroads and
the stringent policy of banking inter-
ests continue to dominate the domestic
situation Some reason for hope has
been found in the spreading convic-
tion in high places that the railroads
must have relief. Until 1t comes, rail
and plate mills will have but precari-
Gus operation and producers in other
lines must face shorter running time"

H|CHSP|RE COUNCIL
To CONSIDER LIGHTS
Borough Fathers Will Discuss New
System of Electric Illumination
Tomorrow Night

Highspire's borough council will
meet in special session tomorrow
evening to consider the proposed plan
for lighting the streets of the town
with a modern system of electric illu-
mination.
For several weeks the matter has
been discussed among the borough
officials and townspeople and 1t Is eX-
pected that at tomorrow evening S
meeting, IL will he definitely deter
mined whether or not Highspire shall
go in for new and up-to-date system
of street lighting.
The general plan that had been
suggested is to follow the interurban
type of light that is now being in
stalled at Penbrook and which has
been helping to turn night into day on
the streets of Dauphin for the last
few months. Should the borough de-
eide to go in for the electric lights the
current will be furnished by the Har-
risburg Light and Power Company and
it is expected a representative of the
Harrisburg company attend the ses-
sion of the borough fathers tomorrow
night to submit the city company's
proposition.
