March Totals Expected to
Run Below First Two
Months of Year.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. March 25.-"The past
week has brought some curtailment
in output of steel and pig iron,"

but enough to indicate that the daily
rate of steel ingots, as well as pig
iron production for March, will fall
below the average for January and
February.
THE Steel Corporations operations
still hang about 81 per cent, but the
several independent companies are at
reduced percentages. In the Pitts
burgh and Youngstown districts the
independents are now on an so per
cent basis, making the average for
the industry in those districts about
a week ago"
The Iron Age pig iron composite
price has fallen to $21.S8 from s2213
last week. One year ago it was
$2273. Finished steel remains at
2.331 cents per pound. just 81 per net
ton less than one year ago
Pig iron statistics compiled by the
American Iron and Steel Institute for
ls24 show that the years production
in the United States aggregated
3l,405,790 tons. a drop OF S,955,356
tons under the preceding year, when
the high record of 40,36l,146 tons was
established. The last half Of the year
was less productive than the first six
months. Basic grades fell of 1918
per cent during the year and Besse-
mer grades 1902 per cent.

NEW YORK, March 25.--In it's
weekly summary, Hardware Age will
say tomorrow:
Uncertain weather is hampering
somewhat the expected movement of
general Spring hardware. Poultry
netting, screen wire and paints arc
all very active, but garden tools are
only beginning to move in small
quantities. 1t is felt that a con-
tinued stretch of three of four fine,
warm, Springlike days will stimulate
the sale of Spring goods.
Collections are fairly good, and
staple lines are moving steadily.
There are very few price changes be-
ing made, and the trade at large does
not anticipate very many serious re-
visions in the cost of goods

CITIZENS CRITICIZE
BUS LINE PERMIT
Petworth Group Opposes
Grant, to W. R. E. Co.
Against Syme Suit.

The decision of the Public Utilities
Commission in granting the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company
permission to operate bus line from
Thirty-seventh and 7 streets despite
the earlier petition of the Washing on
Rapid Transit Company is not for the
best interest of the people of Wash
ington, the Petworth Citizens Asso-
citation declared in resolutions adopted
at a meeting in the Masonic Temple.
Georgia avenue and Upshur street,
last night.
The resolution advocates the abol-
ishment of the per cent tax on gross
incomes of the street railway COM
panies and that crossing policemen
should be regular members of the
Metropolitan force and paid as are
other policemen. The pay of cross
ing policemen and the per cent tax.
it was stated, are merely an indirect
method of taxation, the public who
ride eventually paying all expenses.
The Federation of Citizens Associa- =
tions will be asked to rescind it's ac-
tion in permitting it's representative
to represent the federation as favor
ing the street car companies for bus
extension, and the Public Utilities
Commission will be requested to re-
consider.
Opposition was voted to the suit
filed by Conrad Syme for the payment
of more than $4,000 for counsel fees
in connection with the return of the
Pepco impounded fund to the con-
sumers. 1t was said that the fee al
ready paid to Mr.. Syme was sufficient,
compared with the size of the refund.
Want Teachers Added.
Regular drawing and music teach
ers are to be requested of the Board
of Education for the Petworth schools.
1t was pointed out that with loo
pupils in SO classes in Petworth there
are no regular instructors in these
arts. The association reiterated it's
previous action favoring the election
of members of the Board of Educa-
tion by citizens of the District. Con-
gress was asked not to permit matters
affecting the District to go through
the Budget Bureau.
Resolutions were adopted protest
a storeroom on Sherman Circle, and
the Zoning Commission will be urged
to Withhold the permit. The associa-
tion voted approval of the Jones
Sunday-closing bill and disapproval
of Commissioner Bells proposal for
a $358,000 fund for snow-removing
equipment and labor. Jesse c. Suter,
president of the Federation of Citi-
zens' Associations, was invited to ad-
dress the association at its next meet
