Wall Street saw in Mr.. Gary's state
mcnt a continuance OF the present pros
perity in the steel and iron industry
for some time 20 come. for it was felt
tkat the management would not autho-
rize another advance unless opinion
was unanimous that the end Of the
conditions brought on by the war was
in sight. Mr.. Garys statement said:
In view Of the continuance % pros
porous conditions, il has been decided
20 make advances in the wage rates Of
our iron and steel companies of about

mately 10000 wage earners were ar
iected by these advances.
