GERMAN CHANCES
IN Steel MARTS
NIL, CLAIM
Effective Cooperation Be-

dustries Is Impossible.

HAMBORN, Feb. THE idea of
effective cooperation between the
Ruhr coal and coke industry and
the Lorraine steel industry, with the
idea of creating formidable compe-
tion with British and American steel
manufacturers in the world market,
is frowned upon as impracticable by
most of the Ruhr industrialists, in
the opinion of DIR. Kumarius, one of
the directors of the August Thyssen
steel works here.
He said there were very few eco
nomic arguments in favor of such a
combination but there were numerous
factors against it. the chief one be-
ing that Swedish ore in Ruhr blast
furnaces was much cheaper than the
Lorraine product and had much
greater percentage of iron.
"For example," said Dr. Kunarius,
"to manufacture one ton of pig iron
from Swedish ore, containing an iron
content of from go to 65 per cent it
requires only 900 Kilograms of coke:
but il Lorraine ore is used, which
contains only 2S to 80 per cent
