STEEL CORPORATION CUTS
WAGES OF EMPLOYEES
New Wage Scale Effective Next Mon
day. Third Cat Since Steel
Prices Began to Decline.

The United States Steel corpora
ton has announced another ad lust
ment in the wages of its employees,
the third to be put into effect since
the decline in steel prices began.
The reduction will be put into
effect Monday, Aug. 20, and will
amount to 7 cents per hour in the
case of unskilled labor, bringing
the wage down to 80 cents an hour.
or to the same level which prevail.
ed on May I, 1917.
The reason attributed for the
further reduction in wages was
gwen as the low selling prices for
steel products.
The Official announcement made
by Elbert II. Gary, chairman of
the board of directors, follows:
'In view of the prevailing low
selling prices of steel as compared
with costs of production, it is
necessary to make reductions in
wage rates, and therefore we will
recommend to subsidiary companies
that the general rates of day labor
be decreased to 80 cents per hour,
to become effective on Monday
Aug. 80, and that other wages and
salaries be equitably adjusted. -"
On the basis of the ten hour dav
unskilled labor will receive s. per
day, which is so per cent above the
wage paid at the beginning of 1918.
but about 40 per cent below the
wage paid for the same amount of
work done on Feb. I, 1921, when
laborers were receiving at the rate
S. 500 for ten hour day. The high
rate was I53 per cent above the
1915 level.

signs of the using up of stocks that
have long stood between them and
anything more than a hand to
mouth operation, and are encourag-
ed to look for gradual decrease in
the scale of their losses.
That the steel corporation fol-
lowed more promptly the last wage
reduction of the independent com
panies than those coming earlier in
the year is an indication of the
effect of recent competition. 1t
will take considerable increase in
operations to give any approach to
economical production. The rate
of steel ingot production is slightly
larger this week at several import
ant plants.
In the Chicago district the
Wisconsin Steel company shows
the most marked improvement,
running at 40 per cent of capacity.
Central western mills find more
activity in automobile steel than in
any other direction. Several Detroit
plants will operate at the present
rate through September. The sheet
market is more active, soma buyers
making their first purchases in
months The week has been an
outstanding one in fabricated steel.
Upward of IL, 900 tons was placed
and nearly 10000 has been added
TO active pending projects.

Rain and Cooler Weather Benefits
Crops.

All growing crops have been
benefited by rain and cooler wea-
ther, according to Joseph A. Beck
er, agricultural statistician of the
crop reporting service. although
some damage TO corn and tobacco
was done by the storm of Aug. 10.
Farm work still is two weeks
early Considerable land cleaning
and fencing has been done. Thresh-
ing is nearing completion and much
fall blowing has been done. Corn
Is filling slowly and we'll. Some
early fields are being cut for silage
Cutting will be difficult due to
blowing down by the storm.
Potatoes show some benefit, but
much of the acreage was beyond
help. Tobacco from early fields is
largely in the shed. Late fields
are quite uneven, and probably
were injured by wind of Aug. 10.
Buckwheat is ripening favorably,
and will be of good quality and
average yield. Pastures are i'm
proving. Livestock is still thin in
spite of feeding of silage and green
corn. Milk production is increas-
ing slowly. Grains are threshing
out poorly. A shortage for feed
during the coming winter appears
certain.

Hope for Fall Increase in Steel Trade

In commenting on the pres ent
situation in the steel industry the
Iron Age says;
The hope of the steel trade that
the fall will bring a noticeable in
crease in brying amounts to some
thing less than confidence as yet !,
but there are indications of slowly
expanding demand for some forms
of finished steel. The beat basis
for better expectations is an in
crease in the number of orders,
coupled with a more urgent call for
early delivery.
Producers of steel see more
