BUYING IN STEEL
GAINING STEADILY
TinpIate, Sheets and Bars in
Best Demand-RevieW of
Other Metals.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, February 9.-The VOL
ume of buying in the steel market ap-
peared to increase steadily in the
past week, and prices were firm and
well maintained, The demand was
particularly active for tinplate, while
sheets and bars met with a good do
nestle business. Structural material
was a trif1e less active. Some com
petition was experienced at the sea-
board from abroad, but was not con-
sidered serious. Producers ran at
increased capacity and production
was some what in excess of
the demand. indicating a DISPOSE
ton to accumulate stocks against
future sales. Pig iron was firm with
more orders coming in and producers
are steadily increasing their output.
Copper Market Drags.
Copper was quiet, buyers for both
domestic consumption and export
showed comparatively lir.le interest
since the squirt Of last EIonth, and
there has been shading of prices
without any apparent stimulation of
the demand. Buyers for domestic con-
sumption were supposed to have COW
cred their more immediate needs, but
it was believed they still require con-
siderable copper for second quarter
requirements.
Tin was sharply higher and unset
tied, rejecting uneasiness over the
tight spot situation. Consumers did
not follow the advance, the trading
being between dealers.
Lead was higher with most pro
ducers well booked ahead. Con
sumption was on heavy scale. Spot
metal was scarce.
Zinc continued firm. with moderate
domestic inquiry.
Anthony was firm with q far
business in spots and nearby afioatS.

GROUP INSURANCE GROWS,
Plan Reported Gaining Steadily in
Popular Favor.
pecial Dispatch to The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, February Am in
teresting fact is brought to light by
the insurance department of the
United States Chamber of Commerce
in relation TO group insurance. At the
end of 1922 there was $500. .0O0. 900 in
force covering 100000 employees.
1t has been estimated that approxi-
mately 80 per cent of the workers in
industry carry no insurance. Entire
financial collapse in many of these
cases is coincident with death. APP
proximately 80 per cent more. it is
claimed, have not more than $500 of
life insurance. while the average in
surance in force for the remaining 40
per rent does not exceed $1,000. 1t is
consequently not surprising that some
employers are called upon for burial
expenses of employees or sufficient
funds to help the widows and children
through a period of readjustmert.
Nor is the passing of the hat among
other employees for the same purpose
unusual. Some executives, therefore.
have taken group insurance in order
that they may do, in systematic
way, that which had previously been
done unsystematically.

NEW YORK, February 9.-Unset-

following developments at the con-
gressional investigation, which Gre
ated uncertainty over the position of
the holdings of many of those COM

condition was indicated most sharply
in the general withdrawal of nearby

ing it hard to contract liquidation ex-
cept at sharp declines. Producing
companies were the greatest suffer-
ers and while those issues declined
some of the manufacturing companies
were exceptionally strong.
CheSebrough Manufacturing moved
up more than 20 points to a new high
record and an advance Of about 90
points was made in Swan & Finch.
Many of the issues in the Standard
Oil group after showing gains early
in the week yielded from to about
90 points. Standard Oil of Nebraska
ranged from 240 to 225 and Prairie
Oil, after selling at $50, fell to be-
low ESQ. Standard Oil of Indiana,
which made a gain Of points in the
first half of the week, later dropped
points.
Industrial issues were irregular. The
motor stocks developed a heavy tone
Durant Motor fell about points and
Ford Motor of Canada, after advanc-
ing to 4S2, yielded more than 20

BRITISH FLUTES
BREATHE EASY;
PREMIER SPEAKS
No Trace of Socialism
in MacD onaId's Speech

LONDON, Feb. 13-Whatever fears
were slumbering in the breasts of
the capitalist class Of England that
the British Labor PartS would make
things hot for them on coming into
office were dissipated when Premier
Ramsay Macdonald, in the House Of
Commons, and Viscount Haldane, in
the House of Lords, spoke on the pol
icy Of the so-called labor government.
Even Lord Curzon, notorious re-
dictionary, in a speech following Hal
dane admitted that there was no trace
Of Socialism in the policy Of the
British Labor Party and said that the
apprehension with which he viewed
the formation of Labor government
had been sensibly relieved.
The governments program as out
lined by Macdonald was one that
would appear quite in place in the
platform of the most reactionary
Tory government. The most impor-
tant statement Of the new premier
was his appeal for a world confer
ence on reconstruction. This means
capitalist reconstruction Of course.
Macdonald thought that America
might be willing to assume an active
interest in European affairs if the
European nations spent less for anna
ments. This was slap at France, tho
the British government il not far be-
hind in warlike preparations. The
British flag flies over one sixth of
the earth's surface and the millions
of colonials who are enjoying the
doubtful blessings of British rule
must be guarded by liberal supply
Of bayonets in order to save them
from themselves. The British Labor
Party under the leadership of the
yellow socialist will continue to "car-
ry the white mans burden"
Like his predecessors, the former
pacifist, Macdonald, declared that
until other nations disarmed England
could not put herself in a weak posi-
ton by reducing her military and
naval power. OF course, England
must protect her loot. The peoples
she has robbed must be prevented
from regaining their property.
The following synopsis of Mac
Donald's speech summarizes the
British Labor Party's policy:
Britain will seek a world confer
ence with the object of restoring
order in Europe; will except Amer
lean cooperation as soon as United
States bankers feel that their invest
ments will pay interest; favors CO.
operation with France, open diplo-
macy, expansion of British trade and
commerce; hes not thought of a capt.
tai levy. This was the main plank
in the British Labor Party's program
before the election.
Macdonald has in mind three world
conferences to discuss a special meet
ing of the League of Nations to adj
NIT Germany to membership, to dis
cuss the findings of the commission
on PREPARATIONS, and a disarmament
conference after sounding America
first.

clair promised to pay them $1,000,000.
"The only claim you had was based
on charge of fraud against the
Pioneer, wasn't it?"
"Well, yes"
Asked by Lenroot about this
charge that there was conspiracy in
connection with the lease to Sinclair,
Stack said:

spired with Sinclair to 'gyp' me out

they got $1,000,O00 in oil from Sin

Fight On Strawn.
Reports that Silas H. Strawn,
Chicago, had withdrawn as one of
the presidents special counsel in the
oil leasing cases, were prevalent to-
day after Strawn conferred with
President Coolidge.
1t was stated at the White House,
however, that nothing was decided
at the conference. This was taken
to indicate that Strawn's withdrawal
was under consideration.
Concerning a report that James
A. Garfield. Ohio, was to be named
one of the special counsel, White
House official said that ut would not
be well to go too strong on that"
Garfield called on the president to-
day.
Strawn was reported to have Of
fered to withdraw if President Cool
idge thought his membership on the
directorates of two Chicago banks
known as STANDARD Oil banks" rem
dered him less available as a prose-
cutor in the oil cases.
Strawn's connection with the two
banks was revealed to the Senate
Teapot Dome committee by officials
of the banks yesterday, and was con-
firmed to the committee by Strawn
himself.

Herrin, the Khan and the Miners

all three are analogous as far as
they are concerned, and those who
have undertaken to usurp the right
to rule that community against the
wishes Of the people there, might
just as well come to an understand
ing of that fact now, for il they
don't it will come to them later.
1t is quite possible and even prob
able that there are men in the ranks
of the miners, who because of racial
or religious prejudices, have Joined
forces with the Koo Koo's, but that
should not deter action on the part
Of the others to put them where
they belong, outside Of the union.
At the convention recently held in
the city of indianapolis, the miners
Of the country declared in no un-
certain tone, that the United Mine
Workers could not harbor both union
men and the xxx, Fascist wearers
Of the Nightie, and decided that in
asmuch as the Miners Union was
organized primarily for the purpose
Of protecting the members, it could
not tolerate the agents of the bust
ness interests on the inside, and
that they had to "get out"
Now it is time for the officials Of
the miners union TO get busy, and
even tho there are many who do
not admit to membership in the Khan
we think that on an occasion of this
kind they can be best judged by
their actions. Let those who pro-
claim that the law Of the United
Mine Workers Of America shall be
obeyed by its members, not fail TO
act in the interest Of the union, by
applying Article Ia, Section 2, TO
those who belong to the Khan. adj
