RIVAL STEEL INTERESTS
COMMEND COURT DECISION

Opinions from leading independ-
ent steel manufacturers yesterday
all commended the decision of the
United States Supreme Court that
the United States Steel Corporation
was not a combination in restraint
of trade and therefore need not be
dissolved. Charles NJ. Schwab, chair
man of the Bethlehem Steel Cor
poration, said:
Il think 1t is one of the wisest
decisions in the history of economic
advancement or manufacture that
could possibly have been made.
The Steel Corporation was organ
ICED not with any monopolistic or
controlling tendencies, but for the
purpose of effecting honesty in
price and distribution, and 1t has
always wisely and judiciously full
filled it's mission. l am greatly
pleased with the decision and feel
that it will be of great economic
and manufacturing benefit to the
whole United States"
z. A. S. Clarke, president of the
Consolidated Steel Corporation, eX-
porting agent Of the leading inde-
pendent producers and formerly
president of the Lackawanna Steel
Company. said that the Supreme
Courts decision would be beneficial
to the steel industry and business
in general. Mr.. Clarke said that
his experience had been that I
Steel Corporation had always been
fair to its competitors, the trade
and the general public.

tions. Cash corn is wanted and the
recent advances have been large
enough to attract the farmers.

DONE SINCE ORGANIZATION

The United States Steel Corpora

complished since 1901 is: It has
earned s1,7os,32e,s1s available for

for. new construction and acquisi-
tions, has increased its wage dis
bursements from s12o.52s.343 to
$452, ,663,524, and has increased its
gross receipts from $56o,510,47s to
s1,y44,312,1e3.
Finished steel capacity Of the cor
poration has been increased from
7.440.000 tons to 16,200,0o0 tons and

RAIL BONDS AND THE
INVESTMENT MARKET,

In railroad banking quarters 1t
has been remarked that the new
railroad legislation ought TO De
helpful to most outstanding ran
bonds. And yet observers OF the
market have perceived no height
ened activity in this part OF the iist.
The failure OF bonds to reflect
their changed status. the exact ma
ture of which remains to be re-
vealed by experience. is attributed
to tight money conditions under the
defation campaign inaugurated by
the Federal Reserve Board. Those
who take the view that outstanding
bonds were improved by the enact
ment of the Esch-C -Cummins Dill
maintain that a potential rise was
created, but that 1t will not be ex-
pressed until more favorable condi-
tions obtain in the investment mar

were made.
According to the information re-

dealers in the United States have
said that such action on the part
of the manufacturers has been
