He says: eff the control over prices

Any anti-prohteering action by
Congress, even if the legislative

Observers Predict Business In

WAGE INCREASE
GIVEN
Announcement Is Surprise in
Face of Failure to Earn
Dividend on Stock.
By United Hetos

By United Yetos
NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-Wall Street
is feeling extremely publish
Advocates Of the open shop" as
opposed to trade unionism are also
feeling bullish.
Observers in the Street see good
business ahead. in spite of strikes
and crippled fuel and transportation
conditions.
1t is a combination of good bust
ness prospects and the existing labor
situation that is responsible for an
increase in wages announced by the
United States Steel Corporation Tues
day. in the opinion of competent au-
thorities.
The Steel Corporation announce
ment stated that the wages of day
Rborers will be increased 20 per cent,
reflective Sept. 1. Other rates will be
equitably adjusted, it was added. Soon
after the Steel Corporation announce
ment was made public the Youngs.
town Sheet and Tube Company. an
independent" announced a similar
increase. The Midvale Steel Company
followed the lead with an announce
ment Of a wage increase. Other com
panies were expected to follow suit.
Fails to Earn Dividend
The Steel Corporation failed to earn
the dividend on its common stock last
year. It also failed to make the divi-
dend on this stock the first quarter Of
this year, and again the second quar-
ter, although the second quarter fig
ures were not far below the dividend
mark.
In the face Of these conditions an
nouncement of the increase in wages
caused some surprise. But competent
authorities declare that the Steel Cor
poration was never in a better posi-
ton to make money than at present.
Causes Speculation
The fact that the steel corporation
is the biggest open shop concern
in the country. however. has resulted
in considerable speculation as to
whether the general labor situation
may not have had some influence on
the decision to grant an increase just
at this time.
David Williams. secretary Of the
strike committee for the metropolitan
area, said: THE wage increase in the
steel mills will put considerable fire
into the veins of railroad labor. The
railroad man will find it hard to see
why he should get s2.75 a day. when
he could get 81 for the same work in
the sLeel plants.
eff the railroads don't settle with
the shopmen it will be doubly difficult
