Against the uncertain and changing

Steel Houses Inevitable.
One Of these consultations Is steel

The steel required by our railroads
in 1929 amounted to $500, 600 tons, or
II per cent of total production. This
huge amount ebbed in 1881 to 1885,
900 tons. and in 1882 to 1,100, 900 tons.
At all times our railroads require large
tonnages of steel for maintenance, grade
separation work, new terminals, new
bridges and the like. On the other
hand, our railroads are in q period Of
readjustment to many factors, includ-
ing automobile, bus, truck, waterway,

and obviously, more branch lines are

who pulled his cigar from his
mouth to answer.
The same spirit followed
through the days hammering
questions. Investigations are
familiar fare for Pecora. Maybe
they brought that determined
thrust to his square chin. Maybe
his crinkly. thick hair is indica-
ton of naturally energetic and
pugnacious, nature or his direct,
shining, dark eyes.
Won Many Convictions
He is credited with record of
80 per cent convictions in the
days of battle behind him as a
prosecutor in New York. He has
invaded bucket shops, milk gratis
and ballot frauds and has come
cut winner many times.
He is still the suave New Yorker
who can laugh while a victory
hangs in balance. He was born
in Sicily, but most of his 81 years
were spent in America.
Sometimes he is forced to q
quick and graceful rap of his
"big stick" of authority, but it
passes in q flash.
For instance, in the Morgan
hearing there was some difficulty
over questions about correspond
enee on the Allegheny corpora
ton.
Exchanges Sharp Sometimes
Davis, Morgan counsel, pro-
tested: "You are only asking for
what your investigators have been
doing in our office for three
months"
eve don't discuss how long the
examiners worked" retorted Pc
cora. Considerable could be
said on what privileges were &C
corded the examination"
s'You are welcome to say any
thing you please"
At the proper time" said Pc
cora. ending the passage of words.
Sometimes the pieces Pecora
extracts seem to be mere chips.
But he kept on and on at his
task Of putting them together
while the public waited, avidly
curious. to see what the next one

WASHINGTON, June Ia
Ferdinand Pecora, tan-skinned
son of Sicily, with a clear, eastern
pronunciation of English, sits at
one end of the committee table,
leaning forward in his chair.
The senate banking and cur
rency committee, conducting an
investigation of private banking
that began with an examination
of ]. P. Morgan & Co., has Pecora
for its special counsel.
AS the Morgan inquiry neared
what was believed its closing days
speculation began as to where
next the investigation would turn,
observers had a vivid impression
of the Pecora technique gained
from watching him during the
progress of the Morgan. phase of
the hearings.
Morgan Ever Watchfui
They saw j. p. Morgan, an
elderly king in the American
banking world, pulling on his
cigar. Sitting q few feet from
Pecora, he scarcely moved, but
his dark eyes flashed from speak
er to speaker.
George Whitney, Morgan
partner-tall, thin, dapperwas
almost constantly in the witness
chain. answering questions with a
Park avenue accent.
Back of Whitney sat other Nor
gan partners and their pink
faced, white-haired counsel, John
w. Davis, one time democratic
candidate for the presidency. That
was the setting of the Morgan
hearing.
Bit by bit Pecora pulled from
this assemblage pieces of huge
jig-saw puzzle of finance which
the committee hopes to fit into a
new financial picture for Amer
