Weekly Steel ReUieuU

Cleveland, September l2-(special) The Iron Trade Review today says:
 Federal control of the iron and steel industry is as much a fact today as though congressional sanction has been invoked Government orders and needs determine the action of every steel com pany executive whether or not he holds a contract from Washington officials Neither buyer nor seller can gage their future operations with any degree of assurance, and the pause in private buy ing is mutually satisfactory.

One large steel company, for instance is supply ing certain commodities at well over 100 per cent of its normal capacity. a condition that is made possible by shift ing certain equipment to uses for which 1t was not intended Of the immense fa cilities and output of this plant, fully 75 per cent are being concentrated on government work.
