TEN.POINT BREAK IN
REM. ARMS NOTES
Company Has Had Trouble in
Completing Munition Orders.

A decline of ten points yesterday IN
the three-year per cent notes of the
Remington Arms Union Metallic Cart
ridge Company led to disquieting re-
ports. Inquiry among the company5
banking corrections in Wall Street
brought forth the information that the
company had experienced considerable
difficulty in completing some Of its
munition contracts, but that the out
look is now much improved.
Early in the year the company sold
to the National City Bank $l5,OOO,OOO
three year per cent notes, which fall
due February /, 1919. They were
offered at 99%, and note brokers said
they sold yesterday as low as 1914.
The Remington Arms-Union Metallic
Cartridge Company was Incorporated
on January Is, and took over the bust
ness of the Remington Arms and Am
munition Company ii New York and
the Union Metallic Cartridge Company
of Connecticut The new corporation
has $50 600, 900 stock in $50 shares,
of $20,000,000 Z per cent
cumulative preferred and S40,OO0,00O
common stock.
Marcellus Hartley Dodge, president

iority of the stock.

CONGESTION IN
STEEL AND IRON
The Worlds Demand Upon
Industrial Capacity of
This Country.

Buying Of steel Is Of less magnitude.
The market is still flooded with in
quiries from the Allied governments
for steel bars and f,rgings needed in
the manufacture of war munitions
abroad, but few orders are being
placed. Several domestic shell manu-
facturers have placed contracts for re-
rolling and for forging billets, aggre-
eating $4,000 to 10000 tons, and ship
ping interests have been able to place
orders for about $4,000 tens Of steel
plates and shapes, for delivery over
the first five or six months Of 1917.
Most of the large Independent mills
in all sections have for capacity sold
or oversold for the first half of next
year, and therefore are refusing to
make an effort to secure additional
tonnage to be had for the asking.
Among the interesting foreign orders
just placed are 1900 tons of nickel
chrome steel and 1000 tons Of ship
plates for Italy, 1000 tons Of ship
plates and shapes for q British ship
yard at Hong Kong. China, while
Japanese shipbuilders. after placing an
order for hull plates, are importunately
bidding sh cents q pound for marine
boiler plates, but unsuccessfully.
The buying movement in pig iron,
foreshadowed last week, developed
rapidly in the last few days. with sales
of 100000 to 225,OO0 tons in the vari-
Gus distributing districts. valued ap
proximately at s4,2OO,OOO. Yesterdays
sales in this territory alone aggre-
gated $4,000 to 10000 tons. Two-thirds
of the tonnage sold is steel-making
iron and all the metal placed under
contract is for delivery over the last
half of 1916 and over the first half
of 1917. dissatisfied inquiries now in
the market exceed 10000 tons.
In the last few months blast furnace
lnLeTebLS were oOme"HdI ulSutdIltutu
by the failure of pig iron to share in
the exceptional activity in rolled steel
The situation has changed radically
almost overnight and prices Of basic
iron have been advanced.
1t is a significant fact that notwith-
standing the small buying of pig iron
in June merchant sales for the first
half of this year were 4,225,00o tons,
and were only once exceeded in the
history of the industry. 1t should be
kept In mind that about rs per cent
of the pig iron product is made by
companies that consume their own
output. The interesting fact is that
steel companies that usually make
enough metal for their own needs
again are being forced into the open
market for needed supplies present
and prospective.

A Fat People.

Mr.. Wilson is right in saying that
the eight-hour day has received the
sanction Of the judgment of society.
1t is not meant literally, in the sense
that a man, for moral or other rea-
sons, ought not to spend more than
eight hours Of the twenty-four IN
earning his bread by the sweat Of his
brow. Society does not care really
how many hours the individual man
works. 1t is meant to be taken
broadly, the sense Of 1t being less
sweat and more pay. The eight
hour day is a symbol, or, in definite
case, "basis of wages" The rail-
road brotherhoods, for instance, do
rot expect TO perform their work in
eight hours. The idea is TO narrow
the day of normal pay and widen the
day of overtime pay.
The tendency is unmistakabls.
Indeed, it is statistically demon
strated. The Bureau of Statistics,
United States Department Of Labor,
compares (D the average number Ct
working hours per week and (2) the
average rate of pay per hour, 1914
with 1907, in a large variety If
trades with very interesting results.

basis. The average number Of
