Steel and Pig
Iron Markets
The Iron Age says today

More impressiveIy than In any
previous week the government has put
before the steel producers the de-
mands if viii make upon the coun
try's capacity III the next six months
and the still greater needs Of 1919.
It is now realized that the ship pro-
gram is 70 be increased next year be-
You'd anything yet believed, that rail
road purchases must fas' exceed those
fOy 1918 after years Of starvation
buying, and that shell steel must be
furnished at 5000, 000-ton rate.
Moreover, the strain great crops have
always put upon iron and steel Ca
pacity is also to be reckoned with
now.
In its third warning to consumers
of steel within three months the war
industries board put tRe needs OF the
second half of the Year for war and
essential industries at 20,00O,00O tons
of finished steel products, or $780,
600 tons more than the expected out
put. A sharp challenge of the 20
600, 000-tons estimate came from
automobile interests, accompanied by
a call for q definite assurance as to
steel supply, even on Il reduced scale.
No assurance has been given nor can
in the prospect being that the use of
steel for war purposes will increase,
while production is less likely to in
crease. The week has brought q re-
minder that summer heat will yet be
q factor.
The ability of iron and steel job
bers to replace their Stocks is a moot
question. Manufacturers generally
rule that replacement orders can only
be filed to the extent of shipments
for war essentials in the preceding
month. This policy points to les
sening percentage Of warehouse bus
mess.
The existence of good sized stocks
of steel in manufacturers hands,
amounting in the automobile industry
to four or five months supply in some
cases, explains the absence of shut
downs with the gradual tightening of
government control, but points to some
radical adjustments in the next few
months
Buying of finished steel has fallen
off greatly, the government policy be-
ing to keep about three months ahead
of the mills. Accumulated orders may
be expected to decline. therefore, but
without signifying a change in opcr-
Among the smaller producers of pig
iron the feeling grows that an ad-
vance in the price should be made for
the fourth quarter. Virginia, Tennes-
see and eastern Pennsylvania furnaces
are especially concerned in the agita-
ton for zone prices. In case of a pig
iron advance, if only for less favored
producers, the claims of certain plate
mills would be urged again.
The largest new structural steel un-
dertaking involves 1900 tons for the
new Liberty shipyard OF the Bethle-
hem Shipbuilding corporation at Ala
meda, Cal, to be supplied by the Nc
Clintic- Marshall company.
How we'll the steel makers have met
demands is shown in the
shipments from mills of 26b, 600 tons
of material for the Hog Island yard
and 10000 tons for the Submarine
Boat plant.
Even with the prodigious increase
in tinplate output, plans for new ca
pacity are announced. The Steel COR
poration's plant at Gary will be more
than doubled as quickly as the work
can be put through.

The registrars of voters Will be in

forts to secure information in homes
in different parts OF the city are re-
garded suspiciously. Many of the for
eign-born people are of the impression
that the information sought is for mil
itary purposes and the registrars get
very little satisfaction. The registrars
will secure the information through
factories.
Some of the young men attaining
the cir majority will be in the army
when the fall elections are held and
political leaders are wondering how
they can be made voters The number
of young men who registered as be-
coming 81 between the last registra-
ton time and June 21, last was 389
The majority of these want to become
citizens. 1t is expected that arrange
ments will be made so that those
called into service before having been
made voters will have an opportunity
of coming home to be qualified.
There are soldiers in the service
! who are very anxious to express tn cir
preference IN the choice of candidates

members of the state federations of
labor and all organized labor to be
vigilantly on guard to maintain la
Dor standards and labor laws and
against all efforts to misconstrue
the declaration of the council of

that 1t Is necessary at the present

Determination TO suspend these
laws should be reached only by
some agency that has comprehen-

Clearly, such an agency must be
national. The council of national

American Federation of Labor de-

Information reaches me from
several states that an effort is being

AS several of these efforts have
misinferpreted an action OF the
council OF national defense. I wish
to put in your possession exact In

In order to safeguard the man
power and the labor power of the
nation, on December 3, 1917, the
council of national defense, in joint
meeting with the advisory commits
sion, adopted series of rules reg
ulating the maintenance of labor
safety laws, and set forth the re-

pension may be effected In cases of
extraordinary emergency. That
program which prescribes definite
time limits and requires proof that
suspension is necessaryis as follows:

The raid was made by Inspector
Dulle and officers Jos. Cahill, Muel-

breakers and gunmen, loaded them
in the patrol wagon, including
their gambling outfit and about
100000 in cash and dumped them
off at the police station

decided to make the concession
asked for, on government work
only, but that they would grant
the same terms on all other work
being done, and to every employe
in the big plant, outside the foun

fitted by the increase in wages and
