GOVT. EMPLOYMENT
 SERVICE DEFENDED
Secretary Wilson Denies It Is Run Tn
 Interests of Organized Labor
Alone.

Washington, June 19.--In defending the United States employment service before a joint meeting today of the house and senate labor committees, Secretary Wilson denied that the la- bor department was being operated solely in the interests of organized la bor
 The secretary charged that sys- tematic and persistent campaign of misrepresentation" had been carried on against the employment service be- cause of it's efforts to recruit only union mon for shipyards at Seattle, Wash. He explained that under con- tracts made between the shipyard owners and labor organizations in Seattle in which the government had had no part. those yards were operat- cd by union labor only and declared that in view of this condition it would have been a "crime to have sent non union mon to Seattle in the hope ct finding work"
 He said the service furnished hun dreds Of thousands of men towards other parts of the country operated on an "opcn shop basis
 ''The policy of the department. said the secretary, "has been to pro- mote the welfare of labor without do. irg so at the expense af any other DOT tion of the community"

STEEL AND PIG
 IRON MARKET

The Iron Age says: Improvement in the steel situation is asserted in stronger terms this week. Mill schedules show it, particularly in the Central West. In number of finished lines bookings are larger and the opinion has been ventured that May output will stand as the low record of the year
 Steel ingot production fell last month to an average of S5,000 tons day, against 102, 800 tons in April, decrease of r per cent The May rate represents about 26,000,000 tons a year, or about 55 per cent of the country's capacity.
 In the Pittsburgh district steel mill operations of one large interest have advanced to a 75 per cent rate and preparations are making for the blowing in of one or two blast fur naces, whereas blowing out has been the rule.
 Chicago and Detroit continue to lead in structural work, the largest contract of the week being for 1000 tons for the General Motors Corpora tion's office at Detroit. Another award is of 5,255 tons for the Michi- gan Boulevard bridge over the Chi cago river at Chicago. In the East for navy department needs awards amounting to $500 tons are expected before July l.
 More Central Western sheet mills have reached an operation of 75 to 80 per cent. Automobile sheets figure more largely than ever, the country daily output of automobiles and trucks being close to $500
 The leading producer has been booking sheets for export of late at the rate of 1000 tons a day. Wire products are also an important item in the export trade, which in the main is made up of moderate ton nages in a variety of lines. Japan and South America are buying steadily. A sale of 1000 tons of heavy rails to Italy is reported at $85, C. i f.
 Reductions of $2 to $3 in the ocean freight to the United Kingdom make British markets to that degree more accessible to American steel, rate of s17 on finished material from New York being now available and $16 on pig iron. From Pensacola a rate of SIS on pig iron to Mediterranean ports can now be had and of $14 to Great Britain.
 Sales of Government steel are made from week to week. Tn the Chicago district 19000 tons of ingOts were disposed of at close to scrap values, the average being slightly over $19.
 The Federal Trade Commission, acting for the railroad administration, has called on the steel companies for new statements of rail mill costs. No such constructive object as the placing of additional rail orders is nvowed. the performance having rather the effect of haraSSment.
 The specially heraldcd drive for the orca nization of steel works labor is no new departure. For many months, and with all the help of the war labor board the campaign to unionlze the steel industry has gone on. The percentage of unem ployment is at i present a handicap that did not exist in war time.
 While the pig iron market is still active the buying movement on the whole is less spirited than was the case two weeks ago

 'Wo also found that the Berkshire Ice company would furnish our deal CTS With ice at N6 and freight would be so cents per ton. This assurance prevented tho dealers from securing supply elsewhere. Later we were ad- viscd that prices would advance to $S and then $l0 per ton as the sea son advanced. Now we learn that the Berkshire Ice company may cut off our supply within a few weeks, which will be the time when it is most need ed.
 "It would seem that the Berkshire Ice company practically controls the iCo supply at this time. Incidentally we understand that, they have sold ice to New York parties for $1 per ton less than to Connecticut dealers, With available funds, when ice was being harvested north of us. ii might have been placed in our store houses for approximately $5 per ton. Without funds, very little could be done and we request that further instructions be given this committee or it be excused from further serv- ice"

pREPARETOJOIN
COTTON ASSOC;
DRIVE COMING

ATLANTA, July 28.-The Amer
lean Cotton Association, organized
after deliberation by a body of prom
tent farmers and business men rep
resenting all cotton states, will open
n active membership campaign with
the beginning of August, from At
lanta as headquarters, to cover the
ontire cotton belt.
The campaign committee has been
named and is ready for business; a
corps of expert organizers has been
employed, and plans for an extensive
publicity campaign have been made.
It is proposed to complete the men,
bership campaign within two months,
CT before October /, when it is anti
cipated the vast majority of cotton
producers, merchants, bankers and
professional men throughout the
south, will have been enrolled.
For the first time in history it looks
as if the farmers and cotton produe-
ers of the South are going to have an
organization through whose activi-
ties they will be enabled to price their
wn products, instead of permitting
that to be done by Liverpool and New
ork. The associations purpose Is
give the producer an agency
through which he may be fairly re-
Enumerated for the production service
ne renders to society.
Membership dues will be on the
basis of rs cents per bale of cotton
produced, for the grower. and rs
cents per $1,000 of capital invested
4or merchants, bankers and others;
while a large number of life mem
berships will be sold at 500.
The association itself will be char
tered; and, following the membership
campaign, it is vroposed to organize
another and allied corporation, with
Il large capital stock for the purpose
Of taking care of distress" cotton. in
order to prevent any over-supply in
the market with its consequent drop
4 price.
The American Cotton association
will be organized in every cotton
county in the South; cotton organ
cations will report direct to state
divisions and states to the parent as
location. No militia district, ever.
where a pound of cotton is grown,
viii be overlooked.
