STEEL CODE wins !
MORE ENTHUSIASM
Possibility Of RationaIizing
Competition Creates
Favorable Trend.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND. Ohio, September IL
A growing enthusiasm for the steel
code under the national recovery act
was noted today by the magazine Steel
in its weekly review of conditions in
the industry
Some portions Of the industry" the
review said. remain confident Of good
assuring In an analysis Of the four
leading outlets.
But there is growing enthusiasm for
the steel code and its possibilities for
rationalizing competition and an in
creasin2ly favorable reaction to N. R. A.
on the ground that If it does not work
the alternative may be worse.
EXTENSION OF the current iron and
steel prices, except for a few advances
through the fourth quarter and the
fling and dissemination Of new extras
ana diderentials in conformity with
the steel code have removed most of
the artificial barriers which have been
restraining trade.
Market Becomes Free.
In broad sense. the steel market
this week again becomes q free one
and, while withdrawal from stocks will
prevent specifications being exactly
synonymous with consumptive require
ments, the trend of demand will be
significant and provide the first gage
OF the Fall market.
Two notwithstanding and auto
mobile-larsely ran the steel rate up
from IA per cent in late March to
peak OF So per cent in mid-July. Tin
plate mills are booked through Octo-
ber The automobile industry. how
ever. Is ordering only final materials
needed TO complete runs on present
models
Improvement this Fall thus becomes
chiefly the responsibility Of the rail-
roads and the construction and pipe
line industries. Financing for stable
pipe lines is not in sight. The public
works program figures more extensively
In prospective structural steel tonnage.
but private projects are negligible.
Some revival of railroad buying Is un-
der consideration at Washington. but
at least so days would elapse before
orders would flow back TO mills.
Price Gains Bullish.
The advances of so cents to 81 in
pig iron are bullish factors for the
long pull in scrap. The last
week No. 10 gage sheets and hot rolled
strip were advanced 81 per ton for the
fourth quarter, and cold rolled strip. 50.
Heavy finished steel was continued at
l.60 cents, Pittsburgh. and l65 cents.
Chicago, with all other tonnage prod
ucts likewise extended Bethlehem last
week was made an alloy bar base at
255 cents, 50 a ton above other basing
points.
However. considering the return to
full or revised chemical, size and guam
tity extras, many consumers for the
fourth quarter will pay So to IS per
ton more than the recent market to
them.
steel output dropped 3 points last
week, to AZ per cent Steels
composites are unchanged. at $3l l.23 for
iron and steel, s48 80 for finished steel
and $11 for scrap"

Chicago Grain
By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, September 11.-W!de-
spread notice given to talk Of likelihood
soon Of some form Of currency imitation
led to skyrocketing Of all grain values
today.
The imitation talk had its origin
chiefly in remarks credited to Secretary
of Agriculture Wallace In which he was
reported to have said the commodity
dollar appealed to administration off,
cials as the best II not the only means
Of controlled imitation. Some of todays
buying Of grain was also due to pros
poets that Government crop figures this
afternoon might make bullish showing,
especially as to corn.
Trading was the most active wit
messed in weeks. Wheat made maxi
mum gain Of AS cents, rye Az cents
and corn 2A cents. There was some
talk toward the last about possibility
of France going of the gold standard.
Wheat closed unsettled 27s -3K4 above

BUILDING SHORTAGE.
IS NOTED IN CANADA
Bank Letter Estimates Accumula-
ton at Rate Of $100,00O,000
q Year.

MONTREAL, September 30.-Shortage
in building space in Canada of consid-
cradle magnitude Is accumulating, this
shortage being conservatively estimated
as accumulating at q rate Of 500, ,000,-
600 year, according to the Royal Bank
of Canada's current monthly letter.
Return to normal financial conditions
must imply, therefore, great activity
In the building industry, says the bank.
IT it is fair to Judge by the statis-
tics Of the first seven months Of the
year." says the letter, "it seems proba-
bic that the value of the construction
contracts awarded in Canada during
1888 will be smaller than in any year
for which there are statistical records,
and these records go back to 1911. In
amounted to $132, 2,000, 900 and this year
it does not seem probable that the total
will exceed $70,000,000. These totals
may be compared with average value
Of building contracts from 1924 to
1928, which amounted to $685., 4,000, 900,
or with average for 1911 to 1929,
which amounted to $292, ,0OO, 900.
1T seems evident that in spite of
the apparent surplus of residential
space In most Canadian cities, at the
present moment a latent shortage of
considerable magnitude is accumulat-
ing. Moreover, renewed expansion of
industrial activity will lead to demand
for types Of factories and utility de-
velopment dependent upon the indus
tries which participate most actively
in that expansion. This view is in
direct contrast with the opinion that
Canadian cities are overbuilt and that
q long period of building retrenchment
lies ahead. The mistake of being too
pessimistic as to the future, during a
depression, is almost as common as
that Of being overoptimistic during a
BOOM"

RADIO BLUE EAGLE
SLOWED BY CODE
Labor and Wage Provisions
for Actors and Operators
Stumbling Block.

a II ANY words will be spilled In
HH the ether and many crooners
N will strike false notes before
the N. R. A. Blue Eagle
finally spreads his wings over
the broadcasting industry.
This became evident following the
public hearing on the proposed broad
casting industry code this week before
Deputy Administrator Sol A. Rosen-
blatt. The fundamental differences
were encountered in the labor and wage
provisions for actors and radio opera
tors.
The broadcasters asked a minimum
wage of $50 per week for radio tech
nicians in big stations and SIS a week
in stations employing not more thar
10 persons, with 48-hour week. Nc
provision whatever was made for radio
performers, since they are held to be q
professional group not hired in theil
entirety by stations but by advertisers
agencies, program bureaus and similar
groups not under the control of the
broadcaSterS.
Through labor organizations. the re-
quest was made that engineers OF
broadcast technicians be paid at the
rate of ST an hour or $40 for 40-houI
week. Even higher wages were asked
by other labor groups purporting te
represent station operators.
Actors raised vociferous voice
through the Actors Equity Association
They asked for a graduated scale OF
pay ranging up to $40 per program
with compensation for rehearSalS and
, with numerous other safeguards. A
plan of the actors to present their own

hearings. the key groups Immediately

Closeted with Mr. Rosenblatt, they hope

however, that many days will elapse be-
fore an agreement Is reached.
