| STEEL FACTOR IN
 | STRONG MARKET
Corporations Report Taken As Concrete Evidence Of
 Trade Improvement
By WILL JOHNSON ucased Wire tO The Age-Herald.1

NEW YORK. Jan. 10-The Wall street barometer, registering clearer weather since the turn of the year, reached the flair and warmer" point at noon Thursday.
 The stimulus was easy reading, for it came in the form of a pickup in the business of the United States Steel corporation. After an uninter- rupted decline in thrilled order December statement showed an in crease of 76,755 tons and this fur nished concrete evidence of the inn provement in the steel trade in the past six weeks Steel is our basic industry and coupled with the im- provement noted here were a num- Der of evidences of an improved sit uation in oil. Production of oil ran off again and several advances in crude oil prices were announced dur ing the day.
 The developments were more than had been expected, even though the underlying thought pointed in the same direction. Hence. another
 buoyant stock market despite the fact that the pace was just a bit slower. Some issues were marked down. it is true. and number of specialties forged forth again. And there was more profit taking. The market, however. absorbed all con- trary movements and the underly- ing strength as the day closed with sales of 1,329,200 shares was unim- paired. Steel again crossed pal.
 Strength again was shown in rail road stocks and bonds despite the election of a democratic chairman of the Senate interstate commerce committee with radical support. Con- tinued foreign buying was noted early with the low priced issues again to the fore. on-dividend pay reports, better legislative prospects and better dividend possibilities
 Rock Island was in brisk demand. St
 Paul stocks joined in the rise of the bonds which followed the success ot
 tine new $14,0o0.000 ten year issue French francs hit a new low for all time, we'll under cents each This despite the fact that the Bank of France increased its rate from to 5h per cent. The latter. move was regarded in foreign exchange circles as 8 sequel to the decline ir the franc although it was not thought to~have been designed actu- ally to check the decline. Raising the bank rate of any of the Euro pean countries which are not on g gold basis would have little effect on foreign exchanges under present conditions. There is no doubt tha: the desire of the French government, to restore the confidence of tht French people in the financial con- | dition of the country is an impelling motive.

ACTORS STRIKE | MAY BE CALLED
Shubert Says Theatres Will Not Close If WaIkout
 Occurs

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-"The thea
 tres will not close; the managers
 probably will reach an agreement
 with the actors. but agreement or
 not, the theatres wiH keep going"
 Lee Shubert, head of the SShubert Theatrical company, controlling a
 ma jority of the New York theatres
 and most of those on the long tour
 of the road" circuit, made this an-
 nouncement Thursday in connection with the "closed shop" demands of the Actors Equity association. He
 had been asked particularly regard
 ing the theatres in St. Louis. where it had been reported that d threaten ed break in the relations between the two big unions-the managers on one side and the actors on the other
 would darken all the showshops ex- cept the vaudeville horses This situation would be possible in other cities, too.
 Agreement Expires This Year. Upon the settlement of the actors strikes in 1919, there came into ex- istence an agreement which expires this year wherby the managers abandoned numerous ancient privi- leges which were deemed to have worked a hardship on the actors. The closed shop demand was waived at that time. The Producing Managers
 association formed rival union com- posed of actors who had remained friendly to them, and called it the | Actors Fidelity league. Members of , this organization were called Fidoes ] by the scornful equity members. George M. Cohan quit the P. M. A 1 to become president of the Fidelity
 for time and because he was a pro-
 ducing manager, it became apparent ] that the Fidelity and the P. M. A were closely bound by ties of sym
 pathy.
 Want Fidelity Disbanded.
 1. In the new agreement now under 1 discussion the Equity requires tht disbandonment of the Fidelity. bu 1.-the heads of the Equity are believed
 to have been convinced by legal ad l vice that this demand is contrary tt the conspiracy laws. However, it i
 expected they will try to achieve thu , same end in another manner com patible with the laws.
 Just how Shubert expects to keel
 the theatres. open in case of another
 strike he did not make clear. Int
 membership of the Fidelity fs com paratively small and there are very few actors who do not belong to one group or the other. In 1919 ever! theatre in New York was closed by l the strike.
