Hindoos Buying U. S. Goods

Although the drop in silver makes |
it necessary to pay more rupees for
American goods at dollar prices than
formerly and the low British pound !
operates as protective tariff against /
American goods, they are popular in
India and Burma, some Hindus paying I
higher prices for American goods than
for British. There are said to be |
more Hindus in Rangoon than Burmese,
and most of the merchants are Hindus. |

Many Out Of York

Hitherto the mills of the United
States Steel Corporation have been the
bulwark in tae employment situation,
sut this week the great works at Home
stssd and Duauesne further reduced
sserations, and now several thousand
msn are idle in the corporation towns
"a the Menongahela Valley and else
shere.
At Lorain yesterday the National
Tube Company mills announced a cur
nilment of 20 per cent in operation.
Which will throw some men out Of
serk and cut the time of others.
Operation in the corporation mills is
sgured to-day at less than 40 per cent
"a ar average, some mills being en-
,ireiy closed and others operating fair
". The decline continues rather
shsrply, and it is forecasted that with

Some manufacturers here profess to
Mlieye that one of the first acts of Mr..
Gary upon his return will be to author

Corporation. Whether this will be fol-
Iswed by a reduction in wages or by
tie institution of the three-shift, eight
hour day cannot be forecasted, although
some independent manufacturers think
the three-shift day is fixed in Mr.
Gary's mind as u0ssible

Call Shift Failure

Whether the three-shift day can be
substituted for the long day remains
70 be seen. 1t is pointed out that most
ef the larger mills have at one time or
mother dapoted the three shift day,
only 10 abandon it subsequently.
Jonathan Warner, president of the
lrumbull Steel Company. Warren,
Chic, said that revival in the automo-
hile industry was indicated by the
stronger demand for strip steel "This
business is now showing up much
aronger," he said, Thereby accounting
for the full operation of our strip
mills. Our tin mill operations are
shout 30 per cent of capacity" Presi-
dent Warner emphasizes the fact that
low prices on these products and the
present volume Of business make op-
srations Improbable. Present produc-
ton is dictated principally by desire
10 take care of customers.
One of the more important influences
IN the current situation is the large ac-
sumulation of pig iron stocks by steel
making interests. One leading com
psny is reported to have accumulated
