obeyed IL American Government,

DEBS CHICKENS
HOME TO RooST
From the New York Herald.
when Eugene V. Debs, for what
ever reason, was set free from the
Atlanta penitentiary to go on with
his Indictment to defiance Of govern
ment. his Indictment to violation OF
law, his release startled and
shocked the public. Yet, astounded
as the public was. probably the
episode seemed to the country not
so much a danger loosed against
American Institutions as an affront
put upon the American spirit. Per-
haps in the public mind that of the
Debs pardon encompassed all of the
matter.
But now when Debs. whatever he
means uses frebrand language
which can be taken by distorted
morals and dsorganized intellects
to be an exhortation to mankilling,
as the frenzled mob at Herrin, Illi-
nois, appeared to think a strike
leaders voice goaded II to its atroci-
ties, the public will naturally see the
III considered pardon Of Debs in still
another light.
With Debs calling upon all unions
to strike together. vote together
and fight together" American pub
lie opinion will conclude that when
he was let out of prison to spread
again his evil doctrine among those
not strong enough to Withstand Its
poison the greatest wrong was done
not against American institutions
and against the American spirit but
against Debs' own deluded dupes.
Debs only got himself in Jail. Now
free to inflame the weak minded
and the lawless with his incendiary
rant, he may get some of those who
follow his advice. or what they
imagine is his advice-he may get
them hanged.

Outlook Serious in Non-UniOn Coal Fields,
 Says Trade ReUiew

Cleveland April (Special.)- The Iron Trade Review today says: Possibilities of interrupted opera tions have been brought before the iron and steel industry in a posi- tively threatening manner by the spread of the coal strike among the Lon-union miners of the Councils vile region upon which so many of the blast furnaces are dependent for constant fuel supplies The disloca- tion of production in that territory 1t is freely admitted by the operators is mucn more serious than had been anticipated.
 CurtaiIment of iron and steel pro- due;ion Q yet has been slight owing to stocks of coal in hand and the industry remains 70 to T5 per cent engaged. Some furnaces at Pitts burg and in the valleys and else where have been forced to bank this Neeh and others which were sched- uled to resume have been held idle The chief effect in fact has been to check temporarily at least the ex- pGnEion of production which had been hoinS forward vigorously in recent weeks A continuance of present conditions for 30 days undoubtedly would be attended by serious up setting of iron and steel operations Steel ingot production in March showed gain of approximately 75o,OOO tons over February and about l.5OO. 900 tons, or 195 per cent oVsr the low point last July. The coun- try at large produced ingots In Marcn at the annual rate of approximately 32.4sO, 600 tons compared with an am nL"i rate of 26,85O,000 tons in Feb- ruary. The March annual rate rep resented 74.3 per cent of the hish record of the country in 1917.
 Steel prices have reflected the pre- Nai',ne uncertainty and are stronger all around. Some of the mills nave withdrawn entirely from the mar others are quoting very cautiously.
 Pig iron prices in most districts have jumped 50 cents to $1 ton under the stimulus of heavy buying plus conservative attituce or plo dncers in committing themselves uh der resent uncertainties
 The Iron Trade Reviews composi.e market average this week recoruS another pronounced rise. The com poSitv this week is $S4.0z compaIeu vith S3s.45 last week and the 10" point of $s2.s0 three weeks ago,
 structural activity is keeping up to a kigh pitch, the weeks awaros to,a,ing s4,0o0 tons and bringing tho renort8d lettings of the past TOUT weefs to around 160,00O tons.
