STEEL MILLS TO BOOM
WITH COMING OF FALL
[Continued from First Page.1


to receive a large share of the Beth
lehem apportionment. The rail mills
here have been kept in operation
partly through the transferring of
orders from the Bethlehem plant.
Prices Hold Strong
The rolling mills and the foundry
and forge department of the Steel
ton plant probably are less active
than are the others. Some of the
rolling mills are not in operation at
this time, while some of the other
mills together with the foundry and
forge department are operating only
several days weekly. Comparative
ly few less employees are on the COM
pany's payroll than before the war,
however, it is reported.
The fact that prices continue
strong, is advanced by the city iron
and steel men as the reason for
their belief that the business is rap
idly coming again into it's own in
this territory. They say that heavy
melting steel scrap is up again, with
Pittsburgh district mills bidding
from $3.50 to $19 or higher. but OBJ
tanning hardly any offerings. as scrap
is scarce and the limited tonnages
available are being held for higher
prices.
In finished steel products the buy
ing increases. The improvement in
the market dates from about the
second week in May and has been
continuous since that time. Even
the advent of the July-August mid
summer period, proverbially a dull
one in the steel market, does not
seem to have affected the activity
at all, and this is regarded as con-
elusive proof that a major move
ment in the steel market is already
well under way.
On Good Basis
Mills of the Pittsburgh district are
operating on a basis somewhat bet
ter than an 80 per cent. For the
whole of the country it is a fair es-
innate that the industry turns the
half year on an operating basis of
between 20 and rs per cent. Pitts
burgh' mills state orders received in
June and sent to the mills for roll
ing and specifications against con-
tracts were at least so per cent.
heavier than in May, while in wire
products and tubular goods they
were nearly double.
June proved to be the largest
month in pig iron sales in the last
twelve mCnthsl July so far shows
considerable activity in all grades
except steel-making irons.
The low ebb in furnace operations
has now, apparently passed, as more
merchant as well as steel works fur
naces are now going back in blast
than are closing. Production of pig
iron in the United States in June was
at the rate of $4,000, 900 tons a year.
against a rate of 25.000,000 tons in
May, the May rate having been the
lowest since April, 1915.
Light operations of car plants
have curtailed demands for plates,
but the general outlook is for heavier
operations. Inspection of building
projects is increasing steel demands,
while the automobile trade is de-
manding more sheets. Pipe mills
are operating actively to supply ma
terials for the oil country. It is re-
ported that more orders are being
place for tin plate. Altogether, the
trade is comparatively active and
holds a generally bright outlook.

Why Japanese Are
Rewarded With Shantung

Washington, July IL. - Senator
Swanson has disclosed the argument
which would be use in defending
the Shantung settlement in the Peace
Teaty. He said that Japan was
simply being allowed to get back
what it cost her to drive the Ger
mans out of China.
TITS like rewarding n person who
has driven away a burglar" said
Mr.. Swanson. Japan did just that,
and now is entitled to recover the
cost of that expensive operation. The
docks, with harbors and railroads,
which Germany put in after getting
control of the territory from China
properly go to Japan as a reward"

times.
The committee. of which I have the
honor to be chairman. has been as
signed to the task of collecting data
and laying before you different forms
used in connection with the loan de-
partment. We all know that part of
the business of a bank is to loan
money. that from this is derived its
chief source of revenue and that the
care OF these records falls to the dis
count or note teller. He should be
above reproach as to character he
must be skillful and accurate in his
work. must be able to exercise judg-
ment, must be courteous and prompt.
In order that he may be in a posi-
tion to partially meet these REQUIRE
rnents. it is necessary that the proper
forms be used
