Praises Minister'S Consideration

To the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir--As I have so often read and heard
comments against the Jew which 7 feel. as
Jewess. are at most timos unfounded. must
say was indeed greatly surprised. an we'll
as delighted. TO hear Christian minister
really havo something good to say OF tho
jew and he did not say II because he waP
IN the assembly Of Jews. as few Gentilcs do.
II happened that my husband, who Ia an
ex-soldler and a member OF the American
Legion, ASKED me TO go with him on Memo
rial Day TO Fox Chase. as they were going
TO have services at the graves OF two OF
the Legion members. After going TO Lawn
view Cemetery, where services were held
we proceeded to the Montehore Cemetery
where a young Jewish soldier lay.
The Rev. +. II. Argo. OF Fox Chase, de-
lvered the address. saving, In part. that
he was proud as Christian minister TO have
the opportunity afforded him to stand at the
grave of a Jewish soldier, He said he
thought there was too much prejudice agninst
the Jew and that everywhere religious, ra-
clal national and class anthgonism pre-
vaIis--that these arc tho prolific source OF
wars and make such sacrifices inevitable.
He said he wished to protest against such
insdious destruction and to plead for a
larger humanitnriarism, especially so In
view OF the establishing In Fox Chase Of n
recreation club by a large Jewish Arm
Many were inclined TO sncer and speak un-
kindly. and he wanted TO know II tho jew
had not the same need OF recreation and
Amusement as the Gentle. Was not be
born In the same manner and did h" not
do in the same way and during life did not

While the dedication ceremonies ~ the
club were going on he said he sat in the
rcctcry and heard the band play the Star
Spansled Banner and Home. Sweet

and love ~ homo Of our Jewish brethren.
Concluding, tho Re-. hrgo said that the
highest tribute paid tho fallen soldier vas

GOSSIP OF
THE STREET

AT no time since the inception Of the
current downward swing, some forty
tive days ago, has the action Of the mar
Eet been watched with such tense at
tcntion rs it was yesterday. On Sat :
urday the twenty active railroads closed
VI per cent. under the average low
level established on April IA, while
the twenty industrials were within 30
per cent of the low level registered
on December u.
There was considerable apprehension
manifested, especially on the part Of
the chart readers. for the safety of the
market II the twenty industrials fell
under the December low. it was fig
urcd out by these and other market
observers, that IL the prices or these
representative shares fell under the cS D.
tablished low level it would be difficult
TO sound the nov bottom. This argu
ncnt was based upon the theory that
the establishment of new low level
would necessarily force considerable
liquidation on the part Of those who
were carried safely over the December
crisis.
The recurrent liquidation in all parts
Of the list, encountered during the day.
carried both the rails and industrials
to a new low level, in fact. the lowest
reached in some years. AS n result,
the mental confusion Of the trading
contingent after the close yesterday
was more pronounced than ever, because
the majority were working in the dark
and were unable, like the mariner in
q fog, to make accurate reckoning.

New Low for United States Steel

Among the multiplying disturbing de-
vclopments attending yesterdays opera
tions in the stock market none were
moro chilling than the new low record
registered by Steel common, which
stock touched the lowest figure since
1919. The weakness Of the stock was
partly eNplainable in the gloomy situa-
tion Of tho steel industry. as pictured
by the weekly reviews from Pittsburgh
and other steel districts, indicating the
industry was only working 10 per cent
OF capacity. United States Steel was
reported to be operating at only % per
cent.
In 1920 the biz Steel Corporation
produced 1912 1884 tons Of steel in
gots and castings. Production at the
present rate is not greatly in excess of
10000, 900 tons annually. Finished
steel is being produced at a rate of less
than 5000. 900 tons. Finished steel
production last year was 81 .34I 1858
tons. Back in 1903. year of seves6
depression. the country produced H.
O23,2fI tons Of ingOts and | SOS 1913
tons Of finished steel. tho smallest in
any single year since 1900.
1t is felt, therefore, by many of the
recognized experts. that the bottom of
tho depression has been reached in
steel production and recovery is near
at hand, although the improvement may
be moderate at the start. II Is felt,
however, a further concession in prices
must be made before this turn in the
road Is reached.
