RAIL WAGE GUT.
NEARS, SAYS
IRON ACE
Must Follow Lead of Steel,
Authority Holds, Whether
Or Not Rate Tilt Is given

NEW YORK, Sept. % G.NS0
Iron and steel demand has sub
sided to the August level, and in
got production has receded from
80 per cent to 20 per cent of
capacity, according to the weekly
Iron Age summary to be released
tomorrow.
Prospective business in some
directions, notably in public con.
struction work, is still fairly
promising. but in other lines and
particularly the automobile in
dustry the outlook has become
increasingly obscure.
Wage Cut Comment
On the wage cut just an
nounced, Iron Age comments:
In announcing a cut of 10
per cent in labor rates effec-
tive October /, the steel cor
pOratiOn and other steel pro-
ducers bowed to the inevitable
after weathering two years of
slack operations.
I'm finally recognizing the
necessity of cutting the coat
to fit the cloth. they have set
a precedent which. it is now
believed, the railroads must
follow, whether they obtain
partial relief through rate ad-
vances or not.
Railroad buying programs
are extremely slow in develop
ing, and it seems unlikely that
they can really get under way
until the rate and wage ques-
tiOns are settled.
Prices are holding surpris.
ingly well, although not sub
ject to severe tests.
"Steel producers see no point
Price Cuts Unlikely
in suggestions that the saving
from wage cuts be passed on
to buyers. They point out
that what they gain through
the reduction will probably
fail to lift them out of the
red"
The Iron Age composite prices
are unchanged at 2.116 cents a
pound for finished steel, $15.42 a
gross ton for pig iron and $9.17
a gross ton for steel scrap.

BUILDING
SHOWS GAINS

A sharp upturn in residential
buildirg in August was reported
yesterday by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics and was looked upon
by Government economists as a
favorable sign.
This jump of 81 per cent over
the July figures from 338 iden-
tical cities is the first upturn in
residential building in many
months, with the exception of an
increase in April over last May.
The new dwellings will provide
for 1928 families. New non
residential buildings also in
creased during August, the jump
being 18 per cent.
The biggest gain in residential
building in August was registered
in the Middle Atlantic States,
where the increase was from $13,.
448,655 in July to $20,791, ,420 in
August.
The gain for the country as a
whole was from $34,045, ,495 in
July to $41,296,49 in August.
The east North Central States
scored the biggest gain in non
residential building between July
and August, the Jump being from
$6,l44,035 to $27,660, ,450.
The increase in nonresidential
building throughout the country
was from $58,290,765 in July to
500 .320,948 in August.

Rallying tendencies became more
pronounced in Curb Market deal:

buying demand making itself
evidenced for the first time in

IN NEARLY ALL
SECTIONS
Small Overnight Gains Run
Up IL Points and More as
Afternoon Demand Holds
BY w. S. COUSINS

NEW YORK, Sept. % 0.N.S0 .
Soaring prices for the leading
railroad and industrial stocks on
the big board today reflected a
widespread feeling that the turn
in the industrial tide had
arrived.
Overnight gains of / to 4
points were extended to a
maximum of 1912 points in the
early afternoon, as buying de-
mands of speculative and invest
ment sources remained unsatis-
fled.
Free Rein for Shorts
The strength of the market to-
day was emphasized by the fact
that all restrictions on short
selling had been removed, and
the London market re-opened
after a two days shut down. Free
to follow their own course, the
professionals bought stocks in
stead of dumping them on the
market as in recent weeks.
A better outlook for the rail
road companies was reflected in
. broad buying demand for the
leading rail dividend-payers at
swiftly mounting prices. Union
Pacific jumped 121a points to
1913. Atchison, which has been
under heavy pressure of late,
moved ahead 10 points to 1874.
New York Central was up s
points at 667s and New Haven up
512 at 4512 in one of the most
spectacular uprushes of the
month. New gains of one to four
points were recorded in Pennsyl.
vania, Southern Pacific, Chesa.
peake & Ohio, Baltimore & Ohio
and Great Northern,
Pay Cuts Mean Profits
Though unwelcome to those
who receive them, wage cuts mean
larger net income for the corpora
tions and lower production costs.
Improvement extended to the
bond market and the cotton mar
ket. British Government 512s of
1887, which sold this week as low
as 90, changed hands today at 90.
German government bonds were
quiet. Cotton advanced a maxi
mum of IS points.
