SHAD FISHERMAN GETS
 2,600 FISH IN ONE HAUL
George Case Makes Record Catch for One Time and All Sea-
 sons As Well.

Windsor, May LP-Geor Case, shad fisherman on the Pennington river at Windsor, caught in one haul last night 2600 shad. This is not only the record for one haul, but exceeds the total catch of all the fishermen for an entire season, pre- vious to three years ago when the shad fishing industry began to re- vive.
 The shad average tour pounds each and the estimated value of the catch is $1.200. It indicates that the shad industry, which was practical ly extinct up to three years ago, is returning to the Pennington river, which is a tributary of the Connec. ticut river, and In larger quantities than ever before.
 The return of the industry Is un- occasionally due to the work by the state fish and game commission which has shad hatchery at Wind sor. All the fishermen report good success this season.

.SCHWAB PREDICTS
 NORMAL PROGRESS
Believes 1880 Will Be Good
 Industrial Period

New York. May g Lp) - Present perspective, will prove a year of normal progress, Charles M. Schwab, chairman of the Bethlehem Steel Corp, declared today in an address before the American Iron & Steel Institute.
 "As a matter of fact" Mir. schwab said, business is a lot better than 1t was six or nine months ago, be- cause of the inevitable house clean ing which has taken place. We can not expect record years all the time. We should realize that comparisons for the purpose of gauging our pres ent progress should be made with normal years rather than what was an abnormally good year last year All in all, I believe the record of 1880 will compare most favorably, from a business standpoint, with re- cent normal good business years"
 Steel Position Sound
 At the outset of his address, he said that in respect to both equip ment and organization the American steel industry today was in sound- CT condition than ever. For this he gave credit to the "resourceful, far sighted manageme ent," which directs the affairs of an industry that more than any other has met the diff culties resulting from the greatest stock market collapse in history"
 Mir. Schwab did not refer specifi- cally to the recent Bethlehem Youngstown Sheet & Tube merger, nor to the difficulties which have surrounded the completion of that consolidation. However. he dNelt at some length on mergers in general.
