a collision OF two water craft which
cost the lives of three Worlds Fair

speed boat which carried 10 passengers
and its pilot, and the cabin cruiser,
the Visitor, with seven aboard, sank
after their crash which occurred last
night in Lake Michigan near the mouth
of the Chicago River and about 500
feet from the Coast Guard station.
A lookout who saw the accident
despatched three Coast Guard boats
and 10 men who rescued all the Visi-
tors passengers and all but four of the
speed boats. It's pilot, Walter Pomper,

was that Of a transient who had

Pomper said the boats collided when
the 28-foot cruiser crossed the path
of his boat so quickly he had no chance
to swerve it out Of danger. The cruiser
was rammed amidship and nearly cut
in half.
Maryland Man Rescued.
Federal authorities held Pomper for
the inquest while police sought to
question Anthony J. O'Malley, an at
torney, who is owner Of the Visitor
He was plotting a party of friends on
trip along the lake shore when the
accident happened.
All of the survivors we're Chicag goans

and several received slight bruises.
None of the speed boats passengers
had registered and because of this it
was feared that Identification of the
victims might require considerable
time.

IRON AND STEEL
SEE BARRIERS

The iron and steel markets face
a growing number of uncertain
ties, including a more aggressive
attitude of labor, inability to see
clearly the full effects of the NRA
blanket code, and increasing re-
siStance of large consumers to the
proposed elimination of conceS-
sions on tonnage in the new
price program, the magazine Steel
says.
Direct results Of this situation
are found to be freezing of pur-
chasing and a reduction of one
point in the steel works operating
rate to 54 per cent. Whatever buy
ing has been stimulated by the
threat of a shortage, such as basic
pig iron, has not as yet offset the
general curtailment.

mands improve substantially soon

POULTRY, EGGS
CROP LARGE

More poultry and eggs will be
marketed this fall and winter
than in the same period last
year, according to the mid-Sum-
mer outlook report issued by
the Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomics. The supply of storage
egg-s is 4 per cent above the
five-year average, and that Of
dressed poultry is considerably
greater than a year ago.
The number of hens and pull
lets in farm flocks on July l
was about the same as last year,
but the number of young chick
ems in farm flocks was 3 per
cent greater than a year ago.
The tonnage marketed, however,
may be reduced through market
ing birds at lighter weights than
usual on account of the higher
feed costs.
Farm prices of chickens and
eggs have not shared in the in
creases in prices of most other
agricultural products, and the
price outlook from the stand
point of supplies is not en-
couraging to poultry and egg
producers, says the bureau.
Consumer demand for poultry
would be strengthened by con-
tinued increase in employment
and payrolls. but the bureau
points out also that the poultry
industry must compete with
large supplie1 of pork and other
meats in prospect during the
next six or eight months.
Production of baby chicks by
commercial hatcheries the first
half of this year was about 6
per cent grea - than in the
corresponding period of 1882.
