STEEL INDUSTRY
 TO BE REVIVED


 Pittsburg, Nov - (U.P.) - Pittsburg to-day expected it's steel industry to be revived as a result of the $135,000.000 governmental loan to railroads for the purchase of new equipment. At least 5000 men will be added to the payrolls of steel mills. If only 200, 900 tons of the 100000 tone new rails or- der to be placed with the nations steel mils1, goes to U. s. Steel's plant at Braddock, 1t will be in op- eration for six months. The fed- eral loan was well-timed for the steel industry. Production has dwindled in recent weeks until this week it was forecast at only PC per cent of capacity, and the new order was regarded as certain to tide the industry over a sufficient time for the normal flow of orders to begin and keep men working.

New Haven, Nov 4.--The failure of motoists to live up to their re- responsibilities as participants tn traffic rather than defective equip- ment or ordinary traffic hazards Is the most frequent cause of acci- dents according to Alfred V. Bo- dine, vice-president of the Con- necticut Moor club.
 Mir Bodine based his statement on recent accident studies made by the American Autom obile asso- citation, with which the Connecti- cut Motor club is affiliated. He as- serted that these studies "serve to emphasize the part that careless ness and disregard for the rights Of others play in the staggering toll of fatalities and injuries resulting from highway mishaps.'
 "A study of 1892 accidents. for example, shows that eight of ten of the cars involved were going straight ahead at the time of col lision," MT Bodine said. "In an equal number of instances the weather was clear and the pave- ment dry. And in nine of ten in- stances, the machines involved were in good condition.
 "These facts" he continued. "in- dicate that individual care is the answer to the accident problem"
 Among the interesting facts ad- duced by recent A.A.A. accident studies is that only 8.29 per cent of the drivers involved in accidents were women.
 It is also found that more people are killed and injured in highway accidents on Sunday than any other day of the woke. This is true de- spite the fact that there Is less traffic in congested metropolita n areas. However, this condition is offset by. greater use of rural high ways and concentration of traffic on highways to resorts and play places. The danger hour for acci- dents is found to be between five and six o'clock in the afternoon. although there are more deaths from accidents which occurred be-

It goes without saying that he is also attempting to secure further substantial grants. To those enGS he has conferred recently with Marvin Mcintyre, one of Pre- sident Roosevelt's secretaries.
 He had intended to see the Presi- dent himself but the chief execu- tive has cancelled all business en- agreements except those of the most vital nature because of an attack of cold. The Delegate was to en- deavor to arrange an interview with him early last week so that he may present to the head of the New Deal" a plea for immediate launching of public works in the Territory.
