Rabbit Meanwhile, who in the old

those days fights among the player

a lot Of rough language handed
around. Now they don't have so

would like to see them kick up 8

It may be that 1t is this lack of
fight which had prevented the
Pirates from holding a better place
IN the pennant race. Pittsburgh
has one Of the best balanced ball
clubs in the National League, but
they rarely make any demGnstra-

McKechnie is one Of the quiet type

There is too much handshakinS on
the ball fields nowadays to suit the

BETHLEHEM STEEL
INCOME, $10,549,149
Large Increase First Quarter, 1924.
Company President Regrets Lack
of Constructive Legislation.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK. April 2o.-Net earnings
of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation in
the first three months of 1924, totaling
10.549,149, were the highest of any
period since the second quarter of 1923,
Eugene G.. Grace. president. announced
yesterday, but a temporary recession in
business, he said, foreshadowed a less
favorable showing for the current quar-
ter. Total income for the first quarter
exceeded the earnings of the preceding
period by s614,062, with the surplus in
creasing approximately 100000.
1.-The ignoring by the present Congress
of the recommendations of the President,
supported by the people, for constructive
legislation such as a proper revision
downward of the wartime tax burden,
is making business hesitate" Mr.. Grace
declared. "On the other hand, funda-
mental conditions are SO sound that
domestic requirements alone are suf-
ficient to insure reasonably good times,
provided business and the people can
feel secure from radical and unsound
legislation"
Steel plants of the corporation oper-
ated during the first quarter at about
"A per cent OF capacity, Mr.. Grace ex-
planned, but due to the falling off in
business since the middle OF March the
present rate operations had been reduced
to approximately &c per cent. He eX-
pressed belief that the decline in steel
orders had about reached the bottom,
and that an upward turn was due. The
value of the bethlehem Steel Corpora
TONS orders on hand at the end of the
quarter was S49.S46.000, contrasted with
$50, ,265, 900 on December 81. 1928. Some
concessions in prices had been made. the
companys president admitted. but basis
quotations remained virtually un-
changed Regular dividends were de-
clared on the common and preferred
stocks of the corporation, and Harold

nany was elected q director.

BRANCH BANK BILL
REPORTED TO HOUSE
McFadden Measure Would Give
Right to Operate ANY Num-
Der in Large Cities.

The McFadden bill to amend the ma
tional bank and federal reserve acts
was ordered favorably reported today
by the House banking committee.
The bill introduced by Chairman
McFadden of the committee would
give national banks the right to main
tain branches in the city in which
the parent institution is located, pro-
vided state banks have similar au
thority. The committee. however, re-
jected d proposal TO give national
banks county or statewide branch
banking privileges.
In cities with a population of 10o.
600 or more national banks would be
permitted to have an unlimited num-
bcr of branches and to maintain two
in cities between 10000 and 100000
population, one in cities of $4,000 to
10000, but none in cities under
5000.
The branch banking provisions in
the bill are designed TO put national
banks on d better competitive basis
with state banks.
The bill also provides for per-
petuity of national bank charters and
would authorize national banks to
make loans, up to five years, on real
estate to 80 per cent of its actual
value.
Mr. McFadden was instructed to ar
range for early consideration of the
measure by the House.
