Crucible Steel to
: Speed Payment of
Stock Dividends
wilkinson Says Decision Is
Great Constructive Inf1u-
ence; Helps Corporations
to Attract New Capital

The decision Of the United States
Supreme Court. In tho stock dividend
case means that the directors Of the
Crucible Steel Company will act with
greater rapidity in declaring the $780,
100000 common stock dividends author
lied by tho directors and approved by
the stockholders II the decision had
been unfavorable. according to Horace
s. Wilkinson, president and chairman
Of the board.
"As outlined to our stockholders re-
une yesterday, "the surplus which is
invested in the Crucible Steel Com
pany's business and has been retained
there belongs to the common stock
holders and will be issued by the di-
rectors on a conservative basis. Of
course these stock dividends will be
declared more rapidly under the new
conditions that have arisen as q result
Of the Supreme Courts decision"
Commenting on the general effect Of
the decision, Mr.. Wilkinson said it was
more important to the country at large
than to the Crucibe Steel Company
He called 1t q most constructive influ-
ence in the business world and pre-
dicted that it would enable corpora
tions to attract new capital and would
result in the proper development of the
nations industrial activities. Mr.. Will
kinson continues:
"The decision was just and such as
was to be expected. l do not see how
business could be conducted on basis
other than the right to make its pres
ent capital and cost of plants, vessels,
ETC., somewhere near the actual cost of
production Of competitive plants and
facilities. I do not see how man can
build plant now. say. ct a cost Of ST.
100000, and compete with one that
cost only s5oo,oo0 in 1915 and 1915
operation were based on the present
cost and an adequate return on the new
capital invested.
"The decision Of the Supreme Court
in declaring that the Steel Corporation
does not contravene the anti trust law,
coupled with the decision in the stock
dividend case, leaves business in po-
sition where it can now proceed without
fear Of government intervention in it's
activities.
81 believe the general business out
look to be better than at any time
since the signing of the armistice. Con-
fdence has been restored and business
should move along in an active man
ner."
Mr.. Wilkinson said that the Crucible
Steel Company's plants were running
at full capacity and had much more
business offered than they can take
care of. He decried the talk that the
decline in the foreign exchanges will
American manufacturers and stated
that many foreign orders were being
daily turned down because of the heavy
domestic demand.

uted to the trade. while local brokers said

also attracting moderate demand from

milk SAFETY ZONE
ASKED BY FOWLER
D.. C. Health Officer Testifies
That His Bill Would In
sure Pure Supply.

DR.. W; C. Fowler. District health
officer. vas tHA Dftncipal witness today
before the subcommittee of the House
District committee. which is conduct
ing hearings on four bills to regulate
the production. delivery and sale cf
milk and ice cream in the District of
Columbia.
DR.. Harvey ". Wiley. former chief
of the bureau of chemistry of the De-
partment of Agriculture. was awaiting
an opportunity to be heard. DR.. .Fow-
Ter urged upon the committee, of which
Representative. Walters of Pennsyl-
vania is chairman. that the bin pre-
pared by the health officer and which
has been approved by the District Com
missioners ought, to be passed He
said that IL enacted il would create a
safety zone about the milk supply of
Washington and would not work a
hardship on any one, or reduce the
milk supply.
Permits Renewed Annually.
DIR. Fowler discussed the provisions
of the bill in detail He argued that
as this would stfmuate sanitary pre-
cautious. He expressed himself as
strongly in favor Of stringent tuber-
cular tests. and advised that herds
which have shown a tubercular taint
should be examined every six months
and the license revoked until the taint
has been eradicated. He said that the
health office should haYe the authority
to suspend licenses when 1t feels that
the public health is endangered. He
cited instances where milk is brought
in under insanitary conditions.
The health officer ought to be given
power. Dr.. Fowler told the commit
tee, to seize milk that is brought un-
lawfully into the District and to
prosecute dealers who produce or dis
tribute milk contrary to the regula-
tions. He said there was a great
deal Of reconstructed" milk on the
market. There is no objection, he
said. to the use Of milk powder. but
the product should not be put on the
market as pure milk, and ought to
be labeled.
In regard to ice cream. DR.. Fowler
said that under his bill no tubercular
test is required, because the process
of manufacture is such as to overcome
any sucile sapurity, if 1t exists.
Inquired rs to Fat Percentage.
Several members Of the committee
inquired regarding the standard of
$40 per cent Of fats in the milk
E. Berlfner. secretary of the Anti
tuberculosis Society. said he thought
this percentage was rather high. as
public health babies had shown that
frequently they thrfved better on
per cent fats in the milk. Dr. Fowler
said that this has been the standard
for many years and is approximately
the same standard as required all over
the country.
Some members Of the committee OBJ
jected also to the regulations which
allow applicants for licenses to bring
in their milk during the period they
are waiting for the licenAe to be is
sued They thought this might lead
to impure milk being brought in. Dr.
Fowler explained that very strict
tests are made at the time the ap-
plication for license is made.
