STEEL BOARDS ACTION
CONSERVATIVE Warning
BY Z A. HEMN6.

Financial and corporate interests.
as well as business men generally. at
tach great Importance to the action
of the board of directors of the
United States Steel Corporation.
taken yesterday afternoon. when 1t
voted a reduction of I per cent in the
quarterly extra dividend payment,
from per cent to 2 per cent. i.
The business world looks upon the
high-:--ede men, headed by Judge
Gary, ass constituting the directors
of the largest American corporation,
as about the wisest aggregation in
the country, and accepts the action on
the dividends as a warning toward
conservatism, more. potent in effect
than the action of bankers in de-
manding larger margins on Industrial
loans.
The net earnings for the third
quarter showed a material falling
off-s20. .00O, ,000-~largely due to the
diversion of a much larger per cent
of the earnings against taxes than
was expected.
Net earnings of $Sf.O0o.ooO for the
third quarter were confidently ex-
pected, as compared with $62,557,O00
duction of taxes the corporations
earned practically 45,e0O.O0O for the
quarter against s153.00o,000 for the
previous quarter.
directly totaled s56,9S7 900, but the
board set aside s101,O87 900, including
an additional S45,000,000 as. a taxation
covering the nine months of the year
on possible pending legislation.
But it is fact that a cut was made,
not the extent of it that counts. 1t is
a suggestion of readjustment of labor
and prices of material after the war;,
when war orders shall cease to be the
basis for perhaps so per cent of the
activities of the nation.
Other corporations may be 1nf1u-
enced by the steel boards action. Con-
servation of cash resources seems .
vital necessity.
Navy Subscribss Over $4,000, 600.
The syndicate of ten banks formed
to handle the subscriptions of the
commissioned and enlisted personnel
of the United States Navy for the
fourth liberty loan have been in
formed that subscriptions will total
about s10.250.000, this being 100 per
cent increase over first estimates
made to the banks and S2,250,000
greater than the largest estimate yet
made.
1t means that the banks will have
to purchase s5.000,000 more bonds,
and that this service. as all rendered
in connection with the liberty loan,
will be on the low basis of AN per
cent.
1t also means an immediate payment
