Strikes Tighten Grip
on the Steel Industry
Serious Possibilities of Situation
Now Realized; Pig Iron
Production Declines

THE week has brought further
tightening Of the grip OF the coal and
railroad strikes upon iron and steel
works" "The Iron Age" will say to-
day. at is realized that the situation
will grow worse before il Is better and
that il has in it more serious posi-
bilities than producers have yet en-
tertained.
"Pig iron production figures for July
show how we'll the industry was main
tanning itself. in spite Of the railroad
strike. until the priorities order became
effective. After six months OF stead
ily increasing output July brought z
net loss Of twenty-one furnaces. How
ever. the large majority OF these blew
out in the last week Of the month.
ain the thirty-one days Of July pro-
duction was 2.400045 tons, or 71,42l
tons per day, against 1861 .02S tons for
the thirty days OF June. or 7S,70l tons
per day.
"Steel works operations, owing TO
the large use Of scrap, have not suf-
fered in proportion TO the falling OF
in pig iron. The Steel Corporation en-
tered this week with steel output at
nearly 10 per cent. but this is not like
ly TO be maintained the average
for independent steel companies has
been nearer 60. Further reductions
are impending in the Youngstown dis
trict.
Throughout the trade the view pre-
walls that even with an early settle

ducers will not be greatly helped. Rail
roads and public utilities will be
served first"

Reports OH Sugar Rates

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2-Rates on
sugar were declared too HIGH TO be rea-
sonable in certain sections Of the
United States in a report to the Inter
state Commerce Commission today b.
the Commerce Examiner assigned to
hear complaints. The recommendations
in general held that rates on sugar
from refneries in New York and Bos-
ton TO territory west Of Buffalo and
Pittsburgh and east Of the Missouri
River were too HIGH as compared with
rates from New Orleans TO the same
territory.
Rates on Western sugar moving
eastward to Mississippi Valley points
as proposed by the railroads. the re-
port said. were, however, unreasonably
low as compared with charges on other
commodities and should not be allowed
TO become effective. Western railroads
also recently asked for authority to
charge lower rates on sugar from Cali
fornin ports to Chicago territory than
they charge TO intermediate points, but
the examiner held this also should be
held unallowable.
