Food Administrator Says They
Won't be Cheaper.

r. F. Bicknell, state food ad-
ministrator, is advising people to
lay in their seasons supply of
potatoes at this time, as shipping
facilities are crippled to such an
extent that great quantities of
Idaho potatoes will have TO be
used within the state, and then
even as close to the point of grow
ing as is possible to market them.
"At this time it appears that
potatoes are at price as low as
they will be throughout the season,
and for those who have sufficient
store room for their tubers, this
idea is advanced" said Mr.. Bick-
nell. "It is advanced also as
, measure to save other foodstuffs,
particularly cereals, which may be
shipped without the danger of
freezing that is experienced with
the potato in transit. The slogan
for Idaho should be: "Increasc
the consumption of potatoes and
decrease the consumption of cereal
products.

Our Attitude Toward Enemy
Peoples.

"We do not wish in any way TO
impair or to rearrange the Austrian
Hungarian Empire. 1t is no affair
of ours what they do with their
own life, either industrially or
politically. We do not purpose or
desire to dictate to them in any
way. We only desire to see that
their affairs are left in their own
hands, in all matters, great or
small.
eve shall hope to secure for the
people of the Balkan Peninsula
and the Turkish Empire the power
and right to make their own lives
safe, their own fortunes secure
against oppression or injustice and
from the dictation of foreign courts
or parties.
'sAnd our attitude with regard
to Germany herself is of like
kind. We intend no wrong against
the German Empire, no interfer-
ence with her internal affairs. 4
* We are in fact fighting for
her peoples emancipation from
fear along with our own-from the
fear as we'll as from the fact of
unjust attack by neighbors, or
rivals, or schemers after world
empire. No one is threatening
the existence or independence of
the peaceful enterprise of the

Specidl DESPATCH to Tar sry,


PrTrsBrRG, July 2S.-Iron and steel
men have become reconciled to the belief
that the War Industries Board will
need all the steel they can produce this
year and next, and maybe longer than
that. and that the Boards demands for
more and more steel must be imme-
diately met. 1t was thought that the
Washington authorities were DESTROYS
of stocking some OF the finished product.
as 1t had been felt that a great deal
more steel was being asked for than
could be used in the shipbuilding yards
and the fabricating plants. However. It
Is now seen that operations at these
places have reached a greater scale than
were ever dreamed OF, and 1t is folly to
risk an estimate of new shipping in any
given time, as launchings are taking
place at an unheard of rate. some of the
shipyards seemingly to be superhuman

$50 mills Of the independents.
The output of steel plates Is now run
ing at the rate of fully 100000 tons a
month, as noted above, and which In
cludes light plates. Of which the tonnage
is relatively small. and universal mill
plates, of which there Is a very consid-
cradle tonnage, chiefly for large pipe.
There is also a considerable tonnage for
fitted structural work and for freight
cars. The increase over the output in
1915 Is easily so per cent. Several ad-
ditional plate mills are being completed
Stocking OF Rail Coal.
According to the regulations OF the
Fuel Administrator there Is to be no
stocking Of rail coal Of the Pittsburg
district during the lake shipping season
Some stocking is going on, however, as
there are no restrictions on river coal or
coal trucked from mines. A few mills
particularly those UP the Monongahela
river are taking considerable tonnage
of coal by truck. and in some cases they
have to depend partly on such coal for
their current requirements. Several
plants in the Pittsburg district have
lately established docks for the receipt
OF river coal, ana WIN tntSe aCCTellOIlo

Of manufacturers in the district can be

The Federal Labor Recruiting system
has been thoroughly organized, and the
local committee, under E. G. FELTON,.
former president of the Pennsylvania
steel Company, as the general chairman
for this State, il ready TO begin recruit
ing labor for necessary war purposes on
August 1. Many employers of labor
who are not actually working on war
needs will be forced to give up their men
at the dictation of the recruiting COM
mittee, who are especially empowered
with supplying the Government with
skilled workmen needed in the turning
out of necessarles for the winning OF the
war. Manufacturers here say there will
be no trouble getting the men, as there
is unanimity of action on the part OF
employers to aid the Government In

were shipped to Lake Erie points, this
being little heavier than the allotment,
and the increase was especially salts
factory to the Fuel Administrator, who
had asked for greater efforts in the
mining and shipment of coal to make up
for the detection of West Virginia and
Kentucky coal to the navy. This heavy
rate of shipment will be kept up for
the rest Of the month and prospects are
good for August.
The Government has on the books OF
the local fabrlcating interests more than
30 per cent. of all their business, and
with more orders coming from Washing
ton the shops are filed for the year. The
American Bridge Company and the Nc
Clintic Marshall Company are two con-
Germs that have taken on about $4,000
tons of fabricated work between them.
The plate industry will soon have added
impetus with the completion of a num-
Der of improvements in process at the
Homestead works OF the Carnegie Steel
Company. which Is expected to increase
the plate production by 10000 tons a
month.
Tinplntc Plants speed Up.
Tinplate plants continue operating at
heated term. On account of the heavy
pressure for tinplate the American Sheet
and Tinplate Company has been operat-
ing some of its mills at sheet plants tin
mill style and making black plate for
thinning or black plate specialties. The
independents are also doing some of
this, notably the Trumbull Steel Com
pany, which Is changing about six of its
mills from sheets to black plates. The
American Sheet and Tinplate Company
Is ready to go ahead with it's project OF
adding twelve double mills to the Gary
tinplate plant. equal to twenty-four or
binary or single mills In point of output.
The present Cary tinplate plant con-
tains twelve double mills, equal to TWEEN
ty-four single mills. the plant being COM
pleted early last year. but not operating
at capacity for several months because

changes were made in the sheet bar de-
partment. 1t is hoped to have the new
plant completed early next year, giving

Is said that the output OF plates now is
at the rate of 100000 tons a month, al
though some of this Is not available for
shipbuildng, some mills being unable to
roll plates heavy and wide enough for
the purposes needed. Nearly half
million tons of shell steel are being pro-
duced every month, and as the rate of
finished steel production Is about 3,000,-
600 tons a month II can readily be seen
that shell steel and plates are making
heavy toll on the finished product. II
IL considered fortunate that war de-
mands are not heavy on wire products,
sheets merchant bars. and yet the total
output is so light compared to wars
needs that even these parts of the indus
try must be conserved for secondary war
purposes and essential commercial uses.
Market transactions in pig iron and
steel are very light, which is natural
when II is considered that consumers
who are placed In the schedule OF prefer
ences are taken care OF. and buyers out
side of this zone could hardly expect de-
liveries even II they were allowed to
place orders. Some inquiries have been
heard for pig iron for the first six
months of next year, without response
from the furnaces, who do not care to
make contracts, while there is no assur-
ance that delivery will be permitted, es-
pecially when there are no prices estab
lished for delivery beyond October 81,
Mill operations are very satisfactory.
Notwithstanding the hot weather. In
many cases this can be attributed solely
to the patriotic sentiments OF the men.
