Improvement in Steel Trade

Every week brings evidences of business improvement. Predictions made several weeks ago that the bumper crops of the country would cause a revival of business in every section is being fulfilled.
 About ten days ago when Judge E. H. Gary, chairman of the United States Steel corporation, discussed the business situation at a conference of the presidents of the subsidiary com panies he referred to the dullness that had been prevailing, but expressed the belief that there would be considerable activity in the fall. His remarks were scarcely in type, however, before de- cided improvement was observed in the steel industry. This weeks Iron Age, as seen in yesterdays Age-Her- aid, reflects degree of optimism that must be cheering to the business world generally.
 Indications of improvement in steel trade are notably increasing" says the Iron Age. "The corner seems to have been turned at last, and manu- lecturers are now confident that the remainder of the year will show much larger business than the first half.
 "The United States Steel corpora tion reports its bookings of new orders in June larger than for any previous month this year. It would not be sur prising if an increase should be shown in statement of thrilled orders which will come out in day or two. A most significant fact in this connection is that not only the mills of the United States Steel corporation, but also those of numerous independent steel manufacturers have shortened their midyear shut-downs for inventories and repairs. It had been expected that the great majority would be

what misfortunes have befallen him since the strike began. It is expected that the answers will show how many homes have been broken up, the num- Der of men who have become tramps and objects of charity and the number of deaths due to hardships encoun- tered.
 A compilation of this sort is unique and should prove of great interest to students of sociology. It will show for one. thing that even when right is on the side of workingmen "walk- out" often results in great suffering, both for themselves and their families. It will also impress humane persons with the value of arbitration for set ting difficulties of the sort in ques- tion. Even when arbitration between railroads and employees seems fail ure, it is preferable in most cases to starvation and death.

Some Hard Luck Data

The Railway Employees department of the American Federation of Labor will gather data for what promises to be one of the greatest hard luck stories ever written. It will relate the experiences of approximately 35,000 men who were thrown out of work more than two years ago when labor difficulties arose between them and the Illinois Central railroad and the Hartman lines. The information will be presented in an investigation of the two railroad systems before the United Commission on Industrial Re- lations, which will meet in Chicago next month.
 Sixty thousand question sheets will be distributed throughout the country and an attempt will be made to locate every one of the shop employees now living. The investigation will cover the 25,000 miles of railroad operated by the two systems. There are 52 questions on each sheet and on the back of the circular is a space where every man will be requested to tell

Jones and Warburg

President Wilson has had his way in everything relating to administra- tion measures. More than once he had to bring political pressure to bear on certain senators to induce them to vote for bills that formed a part of his legislative programme, but he has always been winner.
 The administration met with de- feat yesterday, however, when the Senate committee on banking and cur rency voted to to report unfavor- ably on Thomas D. Jones of Chicago, who had been nominated for member ship on the federal reserve board. Mir. Jones is an alumnus of Princeton and is a personal friend of the Pres ident. He is a lawyer of ability, but being director of the International Harvester company, he did not find favor with seven members of the Sen ate committee.
 President Wilson has never been ac- cused of entertaining any distinct partiality for big trusts, and he natur- ally thought that his sponsorship for Jones would insure favorable re- port. But since it is otherwise, an effort will be made in the Senate to confirm MT. Jones over the commit tees action. The President is good politician and good fighter. He does not like to be opposed when he thinks he is right. His lander is up and he can be counted on to stand by Jones to the last.
 The banking and currency commit tee has postponed indefinitely consid- eration of the nomination of Paul M. Warburg of New York. MT. Warburg did not seek a place on the federal reserve board, but at the Presidents s earnest solicitation he agreed to serve. The commission invited him to appear before it and submit to questioning. MT. Warburg declined, and asked the President to withdraw his name from the Senate Mir. Warburg felt that it would be a reflection on him to stand a ss-examination when MT. Hard ing, MT. Miller and Mr. Hamlin, who have been confirmed, were not asked to appear in person before the com mittee. The New York banker will probably continue to stand on his dig nifty; and if so the government will be the loser, for he is generally con ceded to be exceptionally we'll equipped for handling large international prob lems with which the federal reserve board will have to deal. Financiers and financial journals throughout the country have referred to Warburg and Harding as the two men best fitted for the difficult task of putting into op- eration the new banking system.
 But with the two ex officio mem bers of the board, Harding, Miller and Hamlin will constitute a quorum, and the work will proceed no matter what becomes of other appointments.

GREAT TRIALS OF HISTORY
TRIAL OF A BONAPARTE

that he (Fonvielle) did not attempt to draw his own pistol till afterward.
 In the absence of corroborative evidence it seemed impossible to decide whose verac- ity was most to be depended upon M Pascal Grousset and Rochefort were brcrght from prison in the custody or gendarmes to give evidence for the prose- cution; but they did not add to the force against the accused; and perhaps the virulence with which they took occasion to insult him rather tended to lessen the animus of the public in his disfavor.
 On Wednesday, the third day of ths trial. some altercation having arisen be- tween the prisoner and Victor Noirs counsel momentary confusion took place, during which Fonvielle sprang upon his bench, exclaiming vehemently: You are an assassin, Pierre Bonaparte, for you have basely assassinated my friend. Victor Noir." The trial lasted un- til Sunday, the 27th, when NJ Grandperret, the public prosecutor, replied to the pris- oner's counsel and President Glandaz summed up the case. The jury retired an hour and quarter for deliberation, and then brought in verdict of mot guilty.'' M. Laurier, counsel for the Nor family. demanded $20000 damages, with the cost of the suit; but the sum was reduced to s50O0 by award of the court. Prince Pierre Bonaparte was immediately released.

 date for renominatlon in 1916 that hence forth they intend to keep their respective favortes in constant training for the next democratic presidential nomination. MT. Clark and Mr. Underwood will be heard frequently in public addresses. MT Clark of late has been making more public addresses than he has been accustomed to make for a long time. He has even broken his own rule of never absentine himself while Congress is in session. MT. Underwood's Fourth of July address in Brooklyn was held to be especially sig
 nificant. Its purpose. as politicians here viewed it, was not so much to revive the controversy over the Panama canal tolls exemption repeal measure as to emphasize | to the New York city democracy. already dissatisfied with some of MT.

S2O.OOO SLIT OE CLOTHES

From the New York Times.
 What was described as the most valu- able suit of clothes made in the last 100 years was sent from the Red Star line pier yesterday to the public stores to be appraised for duty. It Is studded with gold, silver and pearls, and was made to order for the late King Otto of Ba- varia.
 The suit was brought to New ork on the Zeeland by Miss Anita Koeck, who has the necessary affidavits to prove it's genuineness. The attestation made before the United States consul in Stutt- gart, Germany, places the value Of tne coat waistcoat and trousers, with an elaborate hat, at s20,000. There are 5000 real pearls embroidered on the coat and waistcoat. The s20,000 suit will be ex- hibited in the windows of a Fifth aven- uew ieweler.
