Newark N. J., March 13.-Streot car service in 12 northern New Jer- sey counties was paralyzed again tD- day, although the Public Service cor poration attempted to operate a few cars with employcs who refused to join the 4,500 striking motormen and conductors. No service was attempted d by the company after 6:30 last night until a. m. today when d few cars were sent out on runs. Yesterday the first day of the strike, the com pany claimed that 1 , per cent. of it's cars were operated. Normally about $50 cars are operated.

Steel and>Pig
 s~1 Iron Markets
The Iron Age says:

E iAS II o4l ASS says
 All interest centers in the confer ence on prices between the steel mak- CTS committee and the industrial board at Washington, which has been postponed to Wednesday, March 19. While some skepticism persists in the trade, there is general willingness to follow the governments lead.
 The amount of the pro bable reduc- tion in finished material has been widely discussed. Meanwhile new business for some time meager has well nigh dropped out of the reckon ing in certain lines.
 Sentiment, as developed at a meet ing of the steel committee in New York, Tuesday. which adjourned for one week, leans to a reduction of $5 per ton on leading rolled products. Iron ore and pig iron interests have moved this week for separate repre- sentation on the general committee and this has been granted.
 The country's large output of steel in February has been held up as proof that conditions in the industry are more favorable than has been represented. The fact is that the February rolIings of the Steel cor poration and those for January rep resented considerable tonnage, much of its rails, booked in 1917 at low prices, deliveries on which were sus- pended to make way for war orders
 New business has come in in the past few weeks at only a fraction of the February rate of operations. With most independent companies March orders have not been over 20 per
 
 considered that in some districts, notably Pittsburgh, large rollings for stock were made in January and February.
 It is thus to be expected that out put will fall off in March and April, with progressive reductions in work ing forces al steel works and rolling mills.
 The attitude of foreign buyers con- tinues to be that of the buyer at home, only absolute needs being pro- vded for and stocks being kept down. Under the new price fixing, our ex- port market will still be a law to it. self. How long the American export level can be kept above the dOmes- tic market is a question. with Brit ish government price fixing expiring in less than two months. British eX- ports may then be more closely com- petitive with American steel, with the added advantage of lower ocean freights,
 In this connection interest attaches to the expressed desire of British steel manufacturers to make some form of agreement with their competitors in this country in respect to the export trade. Presumably the Webb act would give sanction to such an ar engagement but no interest has been shown in it on this side and there is no likelihood of any carly action.
 Few transactions actually anticipat- ing lower prIces are noted, but they were hardly to be expected, with the brake put on negotiation hy the pend ing deliberations at Washington. Foundry pig iron in the Pittsburgh district is the conspicuous exception.

NEW MOTOR FUEL.
Bureau of Mines Announces Also
 Substitute for Gasoline.

Washington March 13.-Develop- ment too late for use in the war of motor fuel which adds 10 miles an hour to the speed of airplaneS, and has possibilities for use in automo ohile racing was announced yesterday by the bureau of mines. The liquid d combination of benZOl and cyclo- heXane called nectar costs about $1 a gallon, so while of military value it is not regarded as practical for com L4ercial purposes at present.
 Another combination developed by the bureau consisting of bcnzol and gasoene has been found to be more powerful than gasoline alone. It is expected to prove of value in indus try. The comparative scarcity of ben zol, however, makes it's production to supplant gasoline on large scale improbable in the immediate future.

INCOME TAXES ARE
 BEING PAID DAILY
Collectors Oaicc In City Hall is Very Busy Place These Days-Oniy Two Days More.

The busiest place in the city at the present time is the office of the in- come tax collector in the office of the board of public safety on the fourth floor of City hall. The office is open from a. m. until D. m. now and every hour of the day it is filled with people filing their taxes The men in charge have been kept more than busy and in fact the rush has been so great that an extra stenographer has been sent here from the internal revenue office in New Haven
 The two men in charge here have been working all the time in an effort 10 clear up the returns by Saturday which is the last day allowed by law for the filing of the returns At pres ent indications would point to many persons being late in filing their taxes Every evening the rush is much greater than in the day time and while the line extends into the corri- dor during the day at night the line extends for many feet and oftentimcs from one end of the corridor to the other.
 Many petty questions not concern ing the income tax have been asked of the men in charge and these are d hindranCe rather than a help to tho persons filing their taxes It is prob able that each of the collectors here have handled over 1000 filings al- ready. This is outside of the many who have appeared at the office for the papers to fill out and the many persons who are filling out their in come tax reports at the factories. The local factories are handling many of these income tax reports and are aiding the collectors in every possible 1 way. The collectors are preparing 1 for busy days tomorrow and Saturday
