Steel Earnings.

TOTAL earnings OF the United States Steel Cor
poration for the three months ended June 80
last after deductions for expenses, taxes and
interest on the bonds of subsidiary companies amounted
to only $2I 8o2oI6 After allowing for the dividends
on both preferred and common stocks there was
deficit of $457I68s Regular quarterly dividends OF
IN per cent on the preferred stock and ~ per cent
the common were declared.
In making public the statement Of earnings Judge
Ebert H. Gary, chairman OF the corporation, took
occasion to point out that to close observer the
figures should surprise, since shipments had
been small and prices very low compared with pro-
ducton costs He reiterated his contention that wage
reductions should follow not lead selling prices and
expressed the belief that sentiment regarding indus
trial conditions is improving.
Compared with the first quarter OF 1921, earnings
during the second quarter showed a decline of $Io,
3o47o6 Total earnings for the first quarter of 1921
amounted to $322S6722 For the second quarter OF

divided surplus compared with surplus of $2,8I6oo5
in the first quarter Of this year.
The business results of the corporation for the
last quarter which exactly determined until
today not surprising to anyone familiar with gen
eral conditions said Mr. Gary in statement issued
at the time the earnings statement made.
Shipments have been small and prices received
products delivered have been very low compared with
the cost OF production Many manufacturing concerns
have been operating at loss This is about
surable as insisting upon unconscionable profits 1t
cannot be long continued We have been paying
somewhat higher wage rates than many other basic

NTEW JERSEY. the latest State
to enact FIRE prevention edq-
a cation law, IS already feel
ing the salutsry influence OF this new
study in the schools, although the
law went into effect only SIX months
ago. According to Fl. r Heydon
Secretary Of the New Jersey State
Chamber Of Commerce, the law al
ready has resulted in a reduction in
the number Of fires, although il re-
quires only one hour OF study each
month.
"A new spirit is being shown IN
community ncatness as 8 result Of the
Lessons taught" says the New Jersey
Official. For example, in ore com
rnunity where children had formerly
,cattered waste paper on the streets
the nuisance has been entirely obllt-
Grated through the teachings, in the
schoolrooms, that this constitutes a
Ere hazard. This gave the local
Chamber of Commerce new i1cen-
tive and the result has been an actual
reduction in the number of fires.

The grand Jury completed it's work
for the present term Of court yesterday
afternoon, two true bills being returned

sci asked for his dismissal on the grounds
that there was no wrongful intent,

ed, inasmuch as it emitted Walsh To work
