Indications Arc That Dirigible Being
 Built for L. S. at Lake Constance
 Is Almost Ready.

Friedrichshafen. Germany, May s3. Activity recently in the Zeppelin plant overlooking Lake Constance, where the giant Zt-3 is being con- structed for the United States navy has made if appear that the departure of the craft for America is imminent. Workingmen and specialists have been busy testing the motors and the struc- ture Of the airship.
 Lieutenant Commander Garland Fulton. L. s. N. who has acted as in- spector during the construction work, declares that while the work is pro- gressing normally it is probable that Tit will be several months before the Girigible turns her nose towards America,
 Despite the American officers as- surance that the departure is several months off, those conversant with Zeppelins and their construction say that preparations such as those now going on would not be in progress un- less very early sailing date had all ready been fixed.

POLITICAL POISON

Ebert H. Gary Asserts Politics
 Causes Poor Legislation

New York. May 23.-Asserting th1t the poison should be extracted from American politics, Ebert II. Gary, chairman of the United States Steer corporation told members of the American Iron X Steel institute al their a5th general meeting today, that politics had influenced recent leGisla- tion to a degree neither justified by good reason nor good morals.
 Implying his disapproval of heavy tax burdens, he warned that if ef- forts were continued to take money from the man who has earned and saved, the point would be reached where for all, including persons of small means, prosperity would cease to exist and the country would drift into a condition of industrial decay.
 President Coolidge, however. had shown his willingness to sacrifice his own chances for the good Of the country, Mir, Gary said. He urged members of the steel industry to do what they could to uphold the presi- dent and to continued prosperity.
 Steel production at the present time Is about three-fifths Of what 1t was when operations in the industry were at their height, Mir. Gary explained, There had been agitation for price re- auctions. but he urged producers Ito assert their rights to maintain fair and reasonable prices"
 wages In the steel industry shouls ne mainfalne dat current levels, Mr, Gary declared.
 Let us remember that the costs of .hVihs are high" he added and so far as we can, let us keep wages high enough to give the working man req. sonable support"
