 Interfering With Steel

Cleveland. October 13.-(special.)-- The Iron Trade Review says: No relief Is apparent to the congested transportation situation which Is se- riously interfering with iron and steel operations 1---r wide area.
 Great tonnages of finished steel have continued to accumulate in mlll yards. especially in the Pittsburg, Youngstown and contiguous territory bargoes on leading systems Is most severely felt. The Carnegie Steel company now Is estimated to have from 100000 to 160.000 tons of steel piled at its various planta Other producers are suffering in . similar though lesser fashion.
 Sheet stocks in the Youngstown district keep around so.ooo tons Chicago mills, however. have escaped any excessive accumulation.
 The use by consumers of hundreds of motor trucks at . cost of sl to g per ton Is enabling many manu- fncturing plants to Keep up their steel supplies. Mill production conditions with some further losses this week. The American Sheet and Tin Plate company is down to b9 per cent.
 New structural steel business shows large expansion due mainly to inn portant railroad and industrial en- terprises. The weeks total is A, 900 tons, the largest In several months. The 10000 ton award for the new tube works of the National Tube company at Gary has helped greatly to swell the total. Other important contracts are $500 tons for Pennsyl- vania railroad shop at Altoona, 7,Goo tons for power plant projects and 2,50o tons for basculs bridge at Los Angeles.
 Recovery of steei ingot production from the recent strike curtailment has kept pace with that of pig iron. This is shown by the Eeptembsr fig ures of steel ingot production. which represent . gain of 1S.f per cent over August. as compared with an increass of Is per cent In pig iron. The 6ep- tembsr production was at the rate of 8s,750.000 tons annually as against an annual rate of 2s.15o,o00 tons in Au- gust but still is slightly below that of July.

Chicago, May 24-An ordinance ap- propriating $675,o0o for. the employment of 1000 additional policemen was pass ed by the city council today while. the

SOLDIERS BONUS DEADLOCK
 BY SENATE REF. coNMITTEEMEN

Washington, May 24-Democratic members of the senate finance committee may be called upon to break a deadlock among the republicans of the committee over soldiers bonus legislation. The subject was brought up today at a meet ing of the majority and it developed that there was a five to five division on the so-cahed McCumber plan--tle amended house bli-and the Smoot proposal to issue to service men paid up insurance policies in lieu of all compensation op- tions heretofore proposed.
 Chairman McCumber said a ter the ses- sion that he probably would cal a meet ing of the entire committee for this week, probably after the return from Indian apolis of Senator Watson, republican, In- diana, who has had several conferences recently with President Harding on the bonus question.
 The only action taken today by the majority was the appointment of a sub committee, consisting of Senators Curtis, Mclean and Sutherland to hear Repre- sentative Mondeil of Wyoming, the re- publican house leader, relative to substi- tuting the pending reclamation bill for the land settlement feature of the bonus measure which the senate committee re- pubiicans have agreed to strike out of that bill.
 Members of the house from some of the western states have conferred with MT. Mondell and members of the house steer ing committee in an effort to get prefer ence for the reclamation legislation. MT. ] Mondell suggested that If t could be incorporated in the bonus legislation it probably could be enacted at this session. While the. reclamation measure is general legislation. it proposes preference rights 1 for soldiers in retaining and settling
 arid lands. It would provide a revolving
 fund of $S50 900, ,o0o for reclamation. the idea being to keep the fund active until all arid lands have been reclaimed A demand for passage of the pending proclamation bill-known as the Smith l McNary measure-was made in the sen ate tonight by Senator Ashurst, demo- I-crat, Arizona who said he was speaking
 not only for himself but for other mem- I bers. Including republicans. He "served
 a notice that we will not allow this con gross to adjourn before the bill is made l a law
 For soldiers ever to obtain the lands l for homes. he added, the bill would have to be passed, and it's failure to pass would provoke a flow of fury from the
 west"

ALLIED DEBTS COMMISSION
 TO SEND REPLY TO TRANCE

Washington, May 24-(By The A. P.) A reply to the French governments request for an indication by the allied debt commission as to when a special mission of. French experts would be re- ceived is in the course of preparation it was said today at the treasury The response. of the American government to the French government probably will go forward within a day or two, it was said
 Negotiations with France for the funding of that nations war debt to this country. it was indicated, at the treas ury, might be expected to take the form more of arranging the method of liquid ating the obligations of tRat nation when it's funds are available rather than with the expectation of payment of in- terest in October, when the period dur ing which interest on all the allied debts was deferred terminates.
 While treasury officials have been non-committal to a great extent over the prospects of this country obtaining any large interest payments in October on l It's $l1,0o0,000,000 of demand notes of the arious nations the impression has been given that S2o0 900 900 from Great Britain is all that Is expected with any egree of confidence.
 This assumption was born out by Sec retary Mellon in a recent letter Ia Chairman McCumber of the senate dn- ance committee in which he listed the prospect British payment alone as rev i enue which might be counted upon from abroad in the estimates of the in- 1 come of the United States for the hs- cal year 1923.

International Loan Problems Considered
Result of Preliminary Meet ing of Bankers in Paris h. dicates That Something Can be Done.

Paris, May 24.-(By The A. P.)-Four tenertative solutions of the international loan problem for the settlement of the economic situation in Europe, with par ticalar reference to Germany, were pre- sented today at the meeting of the Bank CTS committee, of which J. F. Morgan is the American representative, and the spirit of the meeting was described by some of those who took part as fndi- eating that something can be done. It was even said that probably an an- nouncement of definite nature could be made in a relatively short time
 The solutions were submitted respec- lively by Mir. Morgan, who offered what he termed the American plan Sir Rob ert kinders, one of. the governors of the Bank of England, Charles Sargent former French -under-seeretary of fin ance and president of the Banque De | Union Parisenne and Dr. G. Vissering, president of ghe Netherlands bank. No hint was given as to what these plans are.s but the committee conveyed an idea of optimism and defniteness when they called them solutions"
 They were advanced In response to a request by NJ Delacroix, former Belgian premier, who acted as chairman, fer
 
 lieved could be done.
 The committee also decided to spend the next week In an exhaustive study of Germany's condition. which strengthens the belief that the bankers, in beginning theid work, see chance to accomplish something tangible. When the commit- l tee had these~four suggested remedies before it, Herr Bergman. the German expert was called upon, and he outlin- | ed the negotiations which are still pro- | ceeding between the German delegation ] and the reparations commission and ex- l plained the state of the German budget i and, the changes to be made in 1t. l The two sessions of the committee to- | day were held in the Hotel Astoria, the l home of the separations commission, Sev- l en hnanciers of commanding personaIi- l ties in the neutral allied and German I money markets, sat down together there in one of the drawing rooms and begar i fhmeir conversations on the possibilit, ] of strengthening out the confused econ 1 omic conditions in Europe by a widel! distributed loan to enable the allies t receive reparations and the Germans ti pay them.
