many important offices before taking
the helm. He has always been deeply
interested in politics and in one cam

alone on the domestic outlook. The

Encouraging factors are not alto

March savings deposits increased 10 per

FORD SALES HERE
SET NEW RECORD
April Figures Claimed High.
est in History, Indicating
Business Recovery.

II the automobile business constitutes
the trade barometer that economists,
financial writer's and observers gener-
ally say that it does, the barometer in
Washington is rising and clear weather
is in sight.
The sale of Ford automobiles in
Washington has reached a new peak
Registration figures for Washington for
the month of April show the greatest
number of Ford. cars sold in that month
in the history of FordS, which runs
back for 80 years. Production figures
for March set the number of Ford au-
tomobiles for that month at 100000,
which Is reported to be 10000 machines
ahead of the nearest competitor. More
encouraging still, according to local
Ford dealers, is the fact that for the
period from January l through April,
more cars were sold in Washington
than for the same period either in 1929
or 1880.
Recovery on Way.
Those interpreting the figures, 1t is
explained, can draw their own con-
illusions but will generally agree that
the volume of sales points to the fact
that In Washington the recovery from
the business depression is on the way,
If not here, and that the person of
moderate means is not only in possess
sion of the necessary cash for a pur-
chase, but has the faith and confidence
in the security of his job to undertake
obligations for the balance. The I'M
precedented number of sales, it is
pointed out, bears this out.
Ford men generally are inclined to
laugh at the recurrent rumors concern
ing the change in models" and the
prediction that the Ford company. by
the industry of competitors, has been
forced to contemplate sudden or sensa-
tional changes in models. The policy
of the company. it is stated, has been
to concentrate the resources of one of
Americas richest and most powerful
business enterprises on the excellence
Of distinct type of automobile, which
Is sold for what it is, without represen-
tations that it is anything else now or
Will be in the future. The success of
the policy, it is argued, is reflected in
the success Of the Ford company.
Increased Figures.
In suhstantiation Of this claim, 1t is
pointed out that when the long-waited
Model A" was put on the market, the
Ford authorities predicted that 15,000,-
900 cars of that model would be sold.
To date, there have been between four
and five million manufactured and sold,
and recent statement by Edsel Ford
was that the models success and public
acceptance indicated that total produc-
ton will reach nearer 100000 than
Is 100000 cars. According to the deal
erS, there Is no indication Of any change
in policy or models.

STEEL MILLS FIGHT
WAGE REDUCTIONS
But All Other Items of Econ
omy Are RigidIy En-
forced.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


PITTSBURGH, May 16.-Steel mills
are watching their costs with more and
more rigid closeness, and no economy
appears to be too small to be adopted.
The one thing they do not want to do
is reduce wages.
Some observers have been skeptical
about this suggesting that the steel Of
f1cials who have expressed themselves
against wage reductions were not as
strong in their attitude as they pre-
tended, or that they might alter their
position later, on the plea OF changed
conditions, but there Is no visible rea-
son for supposing anything of the sort.
Steel men, on the whole, have been very
fair and frank with the public for many
years.
Seen Poor Economy.
The policy of maintaining steel mill
wages, which means rates per hour. per
day, per ton, Is based on several con-
siderations. In the first place, it is held
it would not be good economic policy
in general to reduce wages, unless they
are well above the general level, which
is not the case with steel. The build
ing trades ought to come down quite
lot first, and perhaps railroad wages
next.
Furthermore, the steelmakers have
been dividing employment, whereby
many men get only two or three days
Of work week, and this is bad enough
without reducing rates as we'll The
steel industry has contributed practi-
cany no men to the ranks Of the totally
unemployed. Finally, there is the very
practical argument that general wage
reduction would simply be handed on
to steel buyers, quite possible with &C
cretions, so that the mills would not be
any better of. AS to buyers, 1t is strong
ly commended that there is no steel de-
mand lost on account Of price. Steel
Is cheap relatively to the things that
are made from it, and those things are
generally cheap also through mass pro-
duction.
Substantial Cut in Men.
Prices now being realized on steel
shipments are no more than IS per
cent above average prices in 1918, or
20 per cent above the 10-year average
through 1918, the period so often taken
TO represent the pre-war standard in
many things. There has been great
progress in efficiency all along the line,
with substantial reduction In the num-
Der Of men required for a given output,
but there have been some large and
unavoidable increases. Wages are much
higher, and so are freight rates.
Steel 1ngot production in the past
week has been at about As per cent of
capacity, production having dropped
about a point a week in the last fort
night. The decrease has now been al
most arrested, and it seems not unlikely
that the Summer low will be around
40 per cent

tirely different circumstances than
those now prevailing in industry Is a
debatable question. Employers who
have been able to extract good profits
from their business and to pay sub
stantial dividends during this crisis
would have little respect in their COM
munity If they reduced wages. On the
other hand, partnerships or corpora
tons that have sacrificed their own
profits and whose margin of safety is

a concession suff1cient to maintain their
