STEEL OUTPUT
IS ON INCREASE
Consumers Are Taking Steel
as Fast as They Can
Get it

Indications that ingot output Is
now running 225,0O tons a month
higher than in March have thrown
further light on relation of supply
and demand In the steel trade, says
the Iron Age, which continues: New
buying IL still on the restricted scale
OF recent weeks, and at the same
time consumers with very rare ex-
ceptions are taking material as fast
as mills can ship 1t to them.
The week has brought no signif-
cant changes In prices of finished
steel products. With larger mill de-
hveries, consumers have better
stocks and the signs of pressure and
scarcity so common in March and
early April have passed away. At
the eame time some independent
steel companies r showing renew
ed interest in getting more tonnage
or their books.
Third quarter contracting is not
yet of large volume, apart from
sheets and tin plates, though there
are fair sales of bars at 2.40 cents to
ESQ cents. the former price repre-
senting a concession of So a ton for
some makers.
Chicago. which has long been hav-
Ing the heaviest forward bookings,
now reports that railroad cal buy
ing and oil storage tank orders have
fallen off sharply. As is well known,
car works r. filled up for months.
This accounts for the placing in the
week Of only II locomotives, rs
freight cars and ~ passenger cars,
with new inquiry for less than 800
freight cars. Pending rail inquiries

ATLANTIC CITY. May 1s.-The
great danger confronting America
today Is the indifference of the peo-
pie to state and national legislation,
particularly that which aims at
breaking down the constitution of
the United States, according to state
ments made here last night.
Differing from each other only in
p~hraseology, this was declared by
both Governor George S. Silzer, of
New Jersey, and Edward D. DuffieId.
president of the Prudential Life In
surance Company, speaking before
six hundred delegates to the conven-
ton of the New Jersey Bankers AS
ISOLATION.
Discussing several of the problems
now facing the state, Governor Sill
ger urged public interest and CO.
operation in all matters affecting the
commonwealth, stressing the neces-
sity for unselish effort.
The providing OF funds to ade-
quately expand and equip state char
table institutions was characterized
by the governor as al absolute ne
cessity." He described deplorable
conditions existing in some of them,
particularly at Morris Plains.
41dL 4l6LALul4OD has OCCA PAOhA0-
ed for" he said, "but what about
the others? At the polls you turned
down a measure to relieve this stu
alton, and yet last year you voted for
a forty million dollar bond issue to
build roads.
There Is not a man or woman in
this room who, IL they knew of these
conditions. wohld have refused to
vote for a fourteen million dollar
bond issue to remedy them and con-
scented to vote forty millions for
roads"
Governor Silzer outlined a pro-
gram to plant trees along the state
highways.
THE Highway Commission" he
said, will give the road line for
these trees and the state forester
will aid also. Each year the state
can provide not less than 5000 trees
and with a start like that. the peo-
pie of each community should not
take long to make our highways as
beautiful as those in France and
Germany"
The governor warned his audience
that he had to face unfair criticism.

ST. LAWRENCE PROJECT
PRACTICAL, SAYS HOOVER

The st. Lawrence waterway prof.
ect for making that river navigable
from the Great Lakes to the sea,
upon which the United States and
Canada are negotiating, is practical
proposition, Secretary Of Commerce
Hoover said today, after making an
examination Of the plans OF engi-
neers.
Hoover expressed the opinion that
New York would materially benefit
from the improvement, although he
added. there Is some opposition there.
New York, after spending millions on
the Erie Canal, is opposed to this
Government spending money for a
competing waterway through the
st. Lawrence, believing that such
would divert commerce away from
the port of New York.
