NEW YORK, January gilbert H.
Gary, chairman of the United States
Steel Corporation. has issued state
ment dealing in detail with prevailing
prosperous conditions in the steel and
iron trade, together with forecast OF
the future of that industry.
Reference is made to the European
conflict in its worldwide application to
economic conditions. Judge Gary calls
attention to the dangers Of overpro-
duction or imitation by manufacturers
and bankers. resulting from overconf-
dence, and the aid of the government Is
invoked for adequate protection OF the
country's industry. In part, the state
ment says:
ut will be admitted by all lnanufac-
turers Of these products that there IS
no reason for complaint at the pres
ent time as to the volume or urgency
of the demand. nor, in most cases, the
prices received, notwithstanding the
costs of production have been larger
during the last five years becauses OF
increases in wages, freight charges
etc.

The immortal Samuel Adams, when
sorely pressed by the British during

Of that undertaking.
