consensus, however, nearer the lower
figure. Apart from the first quarters
of the years in comparison, there are
considered to be many important
points Of likeness between 1909 and
1915. To many peopla, it is as though
1915 were for the Steel Corporation
season three months later in its de-
velopment than 1909.
