BUSINESS GETS
BETTERGR
ON PROFIT
Not So Much Fear of Runaway
Market as Earlier in Year,
Expert Says.
BY MERRYLE s. RUKEYsER.

:. NEW YORK, April 28.-Blleiness
leaders seem to be getting a better
grip on the reins of commerce than
earlier in the year, and are becoming
less fearful of runaway market. 1t
is generally conceded that an un-
checked price advance would ulti.
mately transform prosperity into a
period of depression.
James A. Campbell, president of
the Youngstown Sheet and Tube
Company one of the Sturdier of the
independent steel companies, takes
the optimistic view than an important
change in temper has come over the
business community in the last thir-
ty to sixty days.
I'm the steel industry" explained
Mr. Campbell, prior to returning 10
Youngstown today after brief visit
to New York, there has been less
scrambling for products on the part
of customers. The Volume of BUSH
ness has kept up admirably, but the
placing of orders has been more or
derby. Customers have been buying
to meet actual needs rather than IL
anticipation of future wants, to take
advantage of advances in prices.
The independent steel companies
have been unwilling to accept bust
ness for more than. a quarter of a
year in ADVANCE. !.
Coal Supply Better.
THE. situation has been relieved
also by improved transportation con-
ditions and a better supply of coal
Two months ago / was worried lest
the mistakes of the period of infla-
ton in 1919 and 1920 would be re-
peated, but nCtv am very hopeful
that the business situation can be
held in check and the period of good
times extended"
Asked concerning labor conditions
in his district, Mr.. Campbell said
that common laborers were scarcer
than skilled workers. but thatt his
company was able to take care of
its needs by importing negroes from
the South and by sending scoutE
into other districts where business
activity was less intense:
Mr.. Campbell said that, as a re-
suit of the present conditions. the
efficiency of his workers was lower
than last autumn. The Youngs-
town Sheet and Tube and the Briar
Hill Company plants, which were
absorbed last month, are operating
up to 80 per cent capacity. Mr..
Campbell expects the demand for
steel to keep it's plants busy all
through the year.
STEEL BUSINESS GOOD.
Asked whether his company and
the steel enterprises generally could
continue to show profits on the
present price and costs, Mr.. Camp
bell said:
present business is profitable.
Until July we shall have on hand
ores and other materials obtained
at lower prices than now prevail.
We also, on the other hand, have
enough orders obtained at lower
than current prices to keep US
busy until the middle of the year!
The outlook, is for profitable bust
ness, and on the basis of present
