was pointed out in circular that any

he will find most difficult to overcome
For example: A man who attends only
three drills in three months Is apt to
find that it will be very difficult mat

during the remaining nine months of
the year to qualify for promotion to

FIFTH DISTRICT SAVINGS
DEPOSITS MAKE RECORD
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, November L.
Record levels have been reached by
savings deposits in the fifth Federal
Reserve district, while labor is better
employed than last year and the build
ing program for the district greater
than that of last Winter. according to
last Monthly Review, issued through
William w. Hoxton, chairman and
Federal Reserve agent, Richmond.
The September retail trade was in
large volume and exceeded that of
September. 1927. by approximately AS
per cent, the Review says. Inventories
in department stores are also reported
to be lower than a year ago, though
wholesale trade is reported not to be
as good as retail trade.
Trade in the fifth district during
September was reported to be in sea-
sonal volume in most lines and Fall
business about equals that of last year
The estimated production of cotton is
greater than last year, although the
price has been somewhat lower, while
both production and prices have been
lower for tobacco.
Coal production was reported to have
reached seasonal levels, while the tex
tile situation, though not as good this
year as last, improved in September

STEEL PRODUCTION
RECORD IS ASSURED
Present Figures Indicate
Present Year Will Exceed
Former Totals.
BY ]. C. ROYLE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November IA new
record for steel production, exceeding
even the previous banner year of 1926,
now is assured. With a month of the
fourth quarter of the year passed, pro-
duction now is over 20 per cent higher
than at this time last year. More
significant than this, according to steel
men, is the fact that prices are on
decidedly higher and firner level than
last November. and the companies have
a steadily increasing volume OF untitled
orders on their books.
The more progressive steel companies
have ceased to depend on back log
and have adjusted themselves to the
filling of small orders frequently, but
today they are piling up back logs de-
spite themselves. Consumption Of steel
is pretty sure to decline late this month
and In December, on account OF slack
ening in automobile manufacture and
building operations, but many con-
SumerS will anticipate their needs to
get in ahead of any further price ad-
vanceS.
Announcement today by the Penn
sylvania Railroad that $100,000,000 will
be spent in electrifying track between
New York and Philadelphia cast
genial glow over every section of the
steel industry and affiliated lines. This
will mean steady demand for steel,
copper, electrical and railroad equip
ment during the next three years.
The steel industry is declared to be
working now at 80 per cent of Ca
pacity," but what really is capacity is
not accurately known, since capacity
changes with efficiency of personnel, of
workers and of management. What is
usually meant by capacity today is the
total capacity reported by various mills
as of December 81, 1927. No mill man
agement today knows what it could
really do if it were given an absolutely
full order book. It is likely that some
mills could not maintain actual pro-
duction at the rate of their reported
capacity" even for a month. On the
other hand, there are many mills which
could far exceed their ratings.
Actual ingot production seems likely
TO run more thaa Z per cent ahead of
that for 1927. This record will be
established despite the fact that ingot
output for the first six months of the
year ran per cent lighter than in the
corresponding half of last year. Then
the demand from the automobile build
ing, farm implement, tin plate and oil
industries began to make itself felt. The
advance of prices for the fourth quarter
did not produce much buying in ad-
vance of requirements, since not all
steel products were affected. Wire
products. rails, tin plate and oil coun-
try goods were among the lines not af-
fected
Rail buying has bolstered the market,
but the real impetus has been given by
the automobile trade. which, with ac-
cessory manufacturers, is accounting
for about 20 per cent of the steel con-
sumed
All of these factors have tended to
improve profits in the steel industry.

GOLD IMPORTS GAIN.

NEW YORK, November i ND.-The
net result of gold exports, imports and
earnarkings in october showed a gain
to this country amounting to $12,370,-
600, the New York Federal Reserve
Banks monthly bulletin disclosed. This
is the second time a gain has been
shown since August, 1927.
This does not include a purchase OF
approximately $2,500,G00 in England
announced by Speyer 81 Co., or any
other purchases announced but not yet
received in this country.
The bulk of the incoming gold was
received from England as result of
the sagging of sterling exchange below
the outgoing gold point from London
to New York. Aside from the English
shipments, the only gold movement of
consequence was the receipt of $1,000,-
900 from Argentine. Another ship
ment of $1000,000 of Argentine gold is
expected to arrive shortly.
Preliminary figures for the month
were reported by the Federal reserve as
follows: Imports. S11,698,000; exports,
S528,000 net release of gold from ear
mark. S1,200.000, net gain to the coun-
try, $12,370,000.

OCTOBER Is RECORD
MONTH ON EXCHANGE
Business Was About 10 Per Cent
Greater Than in Sep
tember.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 1.-October
was the most active month in the his
tory of the New York Stock Exchange.
Transactions in the 26 sessions were
just short of 100000,000 shares, or a
daily average of about 100000 shares.
The business done in October was
about 10 per cent greater than in Sep
tember and considerably exceeded the
high totals made during the furious
speculation of last May and June.
In the 10 months of the year sales
of stock have amounted to about 712,-
100000 shares. This is an increase
of SO per cent over the same period in
1927 and nearly 90 per cent greater
than in 10 months of 1926. Contrasted
with this was decrease in 10 months
in bond sales on the Stock Exchange
of nearly II per cent. Speculation in
stocks and the high rates for money
that have accompanied it have given
the investment market the BLACKLIST eye
it has had in some years.
A large proportion Of all the stocks
dealt in in October as well as during
the year. has been made up of indus
trial issues. In fact, only per cent "a
all Of the shares turned over on the
Stock Exchange in the past 10 months
have been rails. If the figures of OUT
side markets were to be included in the
grand total they would show that be-
tween 95 and 81 per cent of all of the
dealings in stocks throughout the coun-

try today were In industrials or public
utilities. There has never been time
in the country's history when so little
attention, comparatively, was being
given to railroad shares.
Although dealings on the Stock Ex-
change have been at high rate since
the middle of August and those in
october were larger than ever before,
there is none of the congestion in the
Wall Street district that played such
havoc with Stock Exchange organiza-
tions last Winter and into the late
Spring. Orders are promptly executed.
Stocks have been going through transfer
Offices without great deal of delay.
There has been no demand for Satur-
day closings of the exchange in order
to catch up, as was the case last April
Clerical forces have been compelled to
work late and OH some extremely busy
days night shifts have been placed in
operation.

September Petroleum Production.

September crude petroleum produc-
ton in the United States amounted to
76, 100000 barrels, against 1899, ,o00
barrels in August and 75,909,00O bar
rels in September last year. The Com
merce Department, in announcing the
output, estimated this represented a
daily average production of 2,547, 900
barrels. The major portion of the new
output increases resulted from the st.
Louis and South Little River pool
activity in Oklahoma, other petroleum
States showing little change.

some too innocent chunks of propa-
ganda for the adoption in the United
States of law similar to the one in
Canada.
What stand has labor taken on the
issue? At first it was bitterly OPP
posed. Especially so were the miners.
Labor" has since come around. This
is victory" the author tells US. He
also attempts to tell US why: ''The
war opened the eyes of the union Of
ficials to its advantages" Some ra-
Their significant references are like
wise made to the fact that "conserva-
tive" leaders saw in the act a good
barrier against other factions" in
the labor movement.
This is not the whole story, by any
means.
The labor bureaucracy in Canada
quite like the labor officialdom in the
United States-the same fakerdom, IN
fact, since International Unions ex-
tend to both countries-has surrend-
cred to. the capitalists. 1t is no acct
dent the eyes of the labor officialdom
were opened promptly after the war
at just about the time that labor lead
ers here suddenly regained their "eye-
sight"
Those unionists in Canada who have
refused to indulge in this-for the
workers-rather expensive "eye-open-
er" have been segregated by our au-
thor with the Communists, with the
members of the T. U. E. L., with the
Zone Big Union" followers and with
others no more respectable, all of
whose activities are rather wildly re-
ported in this volume.

The Importance of the issue in
volved, rather than the value of this
book is the reason for this lengthy
review. And since there have been
certain attempts to have law sim
liar to the Canadian act passed in the
United States, the issue is all the
more to be emphasized.
1t would be easy, however, to ex-
