NEW GAIN SEEN
IN STEEL OUTPUT
Rise to 81 Per Cent Level
Linked With Fears of
Strike Troubles.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June ia further
rise in steel output this week to 81 per
cent of capacity, a rate reached only
once before this year, reflects a
speeding-up of mill operations to meet
the delivery deadline on second quar-
ter contracts and to forestall possible
strike interruptions, said Iron Age
today in its weekly review. The pre-
vious weeks production level was 60
per cent.
Although the preponderant view in
the trade is that the strike threat has
been a minor factor in stimulating
mill activity" asserted the review,
gains in output have been mainly
in sections where organized labor has
been most vocal
Protective orders for finished steel
have been the heaviest in tin plate
and sheets. products most likely to
be affected by a walkout of the
Amalgamated Union. Tin plate de-
mand has been heavy since the first
of the year, not even receding in the
face of drought conditions, and pro-
duction is holding at rs per cent of
capacity.
In the heavier products, particu-
larly in the case of contracts not
limited to the calendar quarter. pro-
duction is tending downward rather
than upward, since producers wish to
spread their backlogs through the
Summer months. In line with this
policy, rail mill operations have been
reduced at Chicago"
The labor situation, according to
the review. has had no effect on steel
scrap prices. The composite is un-
changed at last weeks low of $10.67
ton and old materials markets gen.
orally show greater stability.
Pig iron shipments continue to
mount and in the Chicago district are
expected to be twice as large as in
May. In pig iron, as in steel, third
quarter business is negligible, since in
centives for forward covering are
lacking.
THE Iron Age pig iron composite
is unchanged at $1790 gross ton.
The finished steel composite. adjusted
in line with code recognition of pipe
preferential, is 2.l99 cents a pound" :"

SAG IN CRUDE OIL

Rumors Based on Belief
That Congress May

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TULSA, Okla, June 13.-Talk Of .
prospective tumble in crude-oil prices
accompanied falling gasoline market
in the midcontinent area today.
The gasoline trend was distinctly
bearish, with some third grade in East
Texas available at to 3H cents gall
lon. This grade is the chief motor
fuel product of the small refneries Of
East Texas.
Most of the price-cut rumors were
predicated on the fear that Congress
may not pass the oil-control bill.
Legal loopholes have torn down the
available control structure, and many
oil men say informally that unless the
measure in Congress receives favor
able action the industry will find con-
ditions this Summer worse than last,
when prices fell to 10 cents a barrel
for top-grade crude.
Hope of the measures passage has

CANNED PEAS SENT.
TO WESTERN AREAS.
Usual Trend Is Reversed,
With Tri-State Plants
Finishing Pack.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.
Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch 70 the star.
NEW YORK, June 13.-Peas, first
important vegetable pack Of 1884, are
going West these days, as Midwest
and Western distributors are buying
the early pack Of tri-state Gamers
and reversing the usual direction of
that commodity.
Faced with serious damage to early
pea crops in the drought regions,
Gamers there are prorating their sup
plies. This necessitates a search by
distributors for other supply sources.
The tri-state pea crop is excellent,
but that region, consisting OF Mary
land, Delaware and New Jersey, does
not produce sufficient peas to offset
the damage to the crop elsewhere.
The average tri-state pack, l927-ls3l,
was 1,324,000 cases, or little less than
one-sixteenth of the national average
of 1886. 900 cases.
Last year the tri-state area packed
1,207, 900 cases Of peas, or about 10
per cent of the total pack Of 12,893, 900
cases. With early pea packing in that
IeSlOtl llOW Ii itc IAliio WCCA dllu dtOlt
finished, 1t is estimated the tri-state
pack will approximate 100000 cases
The national pack will range between
IL 900 900 and IA, ,000, 900 cases.
Pea packers in other regions are not
anxious to quote prices until they get
a more complete idea Of total drought
damage. Wisconsin Is the most i'm
portant pea-growing territory. Its pea
pack from 1927-1931 averaged 8,149.-
900 cases, or nearly SO per cent of the
national output. Last year its pea
pack was 5,l64.000 cases Most early
Wisconsin pea crops. those near the
lake excepted, are now in bad shape.
Early pea crops in New York, In
diana, Ohio. Illinois and Minnesota
likewise are poor, but in Utah, Wash
ington and the Pacific Northwest gen.
orally they are good. Weather in the
next few weeks will be q big factor
in late crops. which may offset some
Of the shortage in Alaska peas.

B. & o. Is Reported
Considering Issue
To Meet Maturity
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 13.-It was
reported in Wall Street banking quar-
ters yesterday that the Baltimore g.
Ohio Railroad Co. was considering an
issue of per cent notes to meet the
maturity of 100000 6 per cent
notes maturing next August 10.
The per cent notes were origi-
nally sold to the r. F. c. and
banking syndicate, each taking SO
per cent of the issue. Maturing on
August 10, 1892, they were extended
for two years. Information in bank
ing quarters suggested that the pro-
posed new issue will mature in three
years.
1t was expected, according to the
reports, that the holders of the per
cent notes will be rendered an offer
of exchange, and it was also consid-
cred likely that a poffion of the new
issue may be offered for public
subscription.

RECIPROCITY PLAN
AROUSES HOPES
Exporting and Shipping In
terests Hail Tariff Bar
gaining Powers.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, June 13.-Now that
the administration is armed with its
new weapon in the world struggle
for trade-tariff bargaining powers
exporting and shipping interests are
hoping that the United States will
restore its unchallenged supremacy
as the worlds leading exporting ma
ton.
How nearly 1t came to losing that
position in 1888, appears In a tabu-
iation In the monthly bulletin Of
statistics Of the League of Nations,
which shows that reduced to common
monetary unit. the exports from the
United Kingdom almost equaled those
of the United States.
For purposes of comparison, the
League statisticians have reduced the
value of exports Of all nations to the
old gold dollar This shows Ameri-
can exports for 1888 of 81 ,279 SOC, 900,
and British or United Kingdom ex-
exports of $1,212, 100000.
In 1929 the figures made a radi-
cally different showing. United States
exports were $5,157, 100 900 and United
Kingdom only $3,549, ,400. 900.
Whether the United States will ever
regain its position in foreign markets
occupied in 1929 is a moot question
among economists and trade analysts.
The volume of world trade has not
fallen to anything like the extent
the value has. While the value, in
terms of gold, is about one-third of
1929, the tonnage or quantity of goods
traded in 1888 was approximately two
thirds of 1929. In other words, prices
in terms of gold have fallen roughly
in half.
American exports already have
shown considerable stimulus as re-
suit Of the depreciation in the value
Of the dollar, tending to reduce the
price of American manufactured
goods In foreign markets.

Last year Pittsburgh elected a Demo.
cratic city administration and in Phila-
delphia four officials won on a Demo-
cratic-fuSion ticket. Approximately
l,500,000 persons are dependent upon
relief. The 4,20O 900 registered voters
show an increase of 100000 due largely
to abolition Of the tax qualification for
voting. and this new group is con-
sidered more likely to be Democratic
than Republican. Had the election
been held last May or June, it is gen.
orally conceded the State would have
gone heavily Democratic.
In view of those facts, it would ap-
pear dificult to keep Pennsylvania
from following the Roosevelt admin
istration this year. To equal the Re
publican majority Of two years ago,
would appear to be political miracle.
Big Majority Seen.
Despite all that, it seems the Repub-
lican majority this year may go higher
Roosevelt election.
Attorney General william A.
Schnader, Republican nominee for
Governor, may be elected over George
H Earle. Sd, former Minister to
Austria, by plurality of $4,000 to
100000.
Senator David A. Reeds plurality
over Joseph F. Guf1ey, Roosevelt leader
in Pennsylvania, Is expected to be
somewhat smaller Reeds Senate votes
on the bonus, immigration and labor,
will cost him support which Schnader
will receive.
The Pennsylvania delegation in Con-
gress, now % Republicans and ~
Democrats, appears likely to show ap-
proximately the same party division
in the next Congress. Republican
strength is not expected to fall below
20 nor TO exceed "a of the "a seats.
In the Legislature, it appears Re-
publicans will have at least 40 Of the
so Senator's, and close to lao Of the
208 members Of the Assembly.
These predictions are made in face
Of Democratic claims that they will
carry the State by 100000 to 100000,
and of estimates by some observers
that whoever wins will do so by split
hair majorities.
Democrats Win Coal Area.
The Democrats will carry virtually
all the southwestern coal counties
where the bituminous industry has
been in the doldrums for a decade and
a half and where labor troubles have
been recurrent in the past 18 months.
Analysts believe Republican ma
jority Of about 10000 will be obtained
in Philadelphia and will be almost
in the southwest.

as it has in the bituminous: but

MANCHESTER, N. H., November
3.-New Hampshire voters 60 to the
polls Tuesday to elect State and coun-
.ty officers and their Representatives
in Congress. Last-minute strength
is being shown by the Republican
nominees and it is being predicted by
political observers that H. Styles
Bridges will be named Governor over
his Democratic opponent, John L.
Sullivan.
The Republicans expect to win, but
by reduced majorities. The predic-
tions by Republican leaders Of q re-
duced majority give the Democrats
hope, for they believe that support Of
the President and the New Deal will
greatly aid their candidates, perhaps
sweep them into ONCE.
John H. Bartlett, former Repub-
ican Governor, has come out for
John Sullivan, the Democratic nomi-
nee for Governor. To Offset this the
former Republican Governors outside
Of Bartlett, seven in all, have solidly
backed the Bridges candidacy and
have urged the electorate to continue
the g. o. p. in power in the Granite
State. Former United States Senator
George H. Moses, who was expected
to take a prominent part in the cam
paign, has been too Ill for active par
ticipation, and only recently returned
from Baltimore, Md. where he went
for medical treatment. He has, how
ever, caused it to become known that
he has asked the voters Of New
Hampshire to support the entire Re
publican ticket.
Both parties have held nightly ral-
lies in every town and city Of the
State, some towns holding Democratic
rallies for the first time In . quarter
Of Q century. This gives the Demo-
Gratis hope. for their rallies have been
well attended.

In the July primaries, Gov. Erick-

that the lively fight in this primary

cient to permit election of their can
didate, Scott Leavitt Of Great Falls,
former Representative. However,
there is no clear indication of a
Democratic split and Senator Erick-
son is supporting the entire Demo-
cratic ticket, including his successful
rival
Leavitt, a middle Of -roader, has
conducted a quiet campaign, by no
means vituperative of the New Deal.
He is a veteran politician with an
excellent record in the Lower House
and If the Democrats lose a battle, 1t
will be this, as Murray is not accus-
toned to politics.
Murray is also a New Dealer and
of the faction of Wheeler. The Re-
publicans have a majority Of about
10000 to overcome, and while there
is some growing because Murray,
like Wheeler. is from Butte, the prob
ability is that Murray will be elected.
Criticism of Butte's alleged hog
ging" of offices is enhanced by the
fact that In the first or Western dis
trict the Democratic nominee for
the House, Joe P. Monaghan, is also a
Butte man. He Is the incumbent,
with a good record, and few concede
more than an outside chance to D. d.

Veterans Bureau and the Republican
nominee. In the second, or Eastern
