STEEL. ACTIVITY
UND|M|NISHED

NEW YORK, March 81 I.N.SO.
The labor crisis in the automobile
industry finds steel production un-
diminished, the weekly Iron Age
review points out. While new bust
ness from the motor car builders
has dropped materially, shipments
against past commitments have
held up surprisingly well. What
ever recession in demand is trace
able to the difficulties confront
ing the automotive trade has been
offset by heavier orders from the
railroads and other sources, with
ingot output unchanged at 4812
per cent of capacity.
Mixed Ire ID Shown
The Chicago rate is off two
points to At per cent of capacity,
but operations at Pittsburgh and
IN the Philadelphia district have
risen one point each to 80 and "a
per cent, respectively. Output in
other centers is holding at recent
levels.
Finishing mill operations have
been more sensitive to current
labor difficulties than raw steel
output. Sheet mill schedules
have been revised downward to
about SIS per cent, chiefly because
Of the receding specifications
from the automobile industry,
and strip mills have been SINH
Iarly affected. Tin plate produc-
tion has dipped five points to
IS per cent of capacity, but a
fresh flow of releases may soon
wipe out this loss.
New Labor Angle Seen
The labor threat is coloring the
market picture in other directions
also. Demands are now being
made by labor groups for a 80
or 35-hour week, with 10 per
cent wage increase.
These chances, it is estimated,
would raise costs at least 20
per cent, suggesting the building
up Of stocks as a protection
against a possible interruption OF
output.

WHEAT TRADING
IN BROADCAST

For the first time radio will in
wade one of the worlds famous
exchanges when a broadcast en-
titled '"The Romance Of the Wheat
Pit" tracing the passage Of grain
from the fields to the consumer,
will be heard over the WABC-
Columbai network on Saturday,
April 7, from 1890 to 1:01 p. m.
This special event will be made
available to the broadcasting au-
dience through the cooperation Of
the Chicago Board of Trade and
its president, Peter B. Carey.
Listeners throughout the coun-
try will be able to hear the SEEM
ingly chaotic but really orderly din
Of grain futures trading.
Columbia microphones will be
stationed at the very heart Of the
famous Wheat Pit itself in order
that dramatic sale-by-sale ac-
count of trading may be heard.
After a brief introduction from
the C. B. S.-WBBM studios in Chi
cago, the scene will shift to the
observatory Of the Board Of
Trade. Here announcers will de-
scribe the vast yards where trains
arrive bearing grain from the
agricultural sectors. Listeners
then will be transferred to one Of
the huge grain elevators.
A quick shift will be made to a
brokerage office where a graphic
description of grain trading will
be given by an expert. The execu-
tive offices of the Board of Trade
will be the scene of the next por-
ton of the broadcast.
The climax of the broadcast
will be reached when microphones
in the Wheat Pit will pick up the
roar and hustle Of actual trading
operations,

In connection with the hearing
before the Federal Trade Com
mission with respect to a report
on Associated Gas and Electric

reSenting Associated Gas and

lowing comments:
ASSOCIATED Gas and Electric
Securities Company has al
ways been a 100 per cent owned
subsidiary of Associated Gas
and Electric Company. Tnstan
ces Of profits made by AssOcia-
ted Gas and Electric Securities
Company at the apparent ex.
penSe Of Associated Gas and

have significance, since any
such profits ultimately reverted

think about silver. With the ex-
ception of Prof. Rogers jaunt,
which seems to be New Deal
experiment, all this is old as the
hills. Always in prolonged de.
pressions there comes the demand
for more money" and always the
advocates of silver arise and urge
Government silver purchases, BIZ
metallisn, etc.
In 1878, the Bland Allison act
brought Government purchases OF
several million dollars worth a
month, until $378, 8,O00, 900 had been
coined. Then in 1890 purchases
were speeded up, the celebrated
Sherman notes" being issued In
payment.
Despite this, silver kept declin-
ing in price, and the Govern
ment's purchases nearly brought
the Treasury to bankruptcy, so
that during the panic Of 1893
the buying was stopped. The
free silver coinage" agitation
continued, but was finally killed
with the defeat of Bryan in 1896.
Then again, under the Pittman
Act of 1918, the Treasury bought
silver at 81 an ounce, when 1t
was worth under 70 cents
1920-23).
Always the arguments are the
same. It is said, "We need more
money. It will initiate prices,
and thus help farm debtors. It
will stimulate trade with China" !"
As to China, I don't need
to 60 to Shanghai to find out
the facts. They are plain and

known to all economists. China
exports more merchandise than
she imports. Therefore, al
though q silver-using country,
she pays for our small exports
to her in the foreign exchange
which she gets for her own
exports. She does not Fay out
silver. She actually imports
silver!
Actually, the lower the price of
silver is, the greater the advan-
tage in trade China has. To raise
the price Of silver in China would
lower commodity prices there, and
cause "deflation."
As to our needing more
money, 1t is clearly not true
You and I, as individuals, may
be hard pressed for funds, but
the nation has more than ever
We even have more gold than
we know what to do with. When
was there ever so much money
in the country, or so much un-
used credit, or such low rates?
Leaving the selfish silver mine
interests and spectators out of
consideration, what the sincere
silver advocates want really is
monetary initiation. They want
the government to buy silver at
81 and to make two dollars out
Of that amount. They want soar
ing prices, which necessarily
means unstable prices.
It can be stated bluntly that all
history and economic law show
that bimetalliSm is q practical
impossibility. SymmetaliSm (try-
ing to use two metals jointly as a
single Standard) is utterly i'm
practicable.
The plain fact is that silver is
not a good standard Of value.
The supply is enormous, and
subject to such wide fluctuations
in value as to make its sure to
cause very unstable and fluc-
tuating' price levels. It is 50
bulky as to be an undesirable
means Of settling balances.
I can honestly say that I
find not a single sound argu-
ment for Government purchase
of silver. Even the Silver-pr0-
ducing business is SO small as
to make it unimpOrtant. As to
selling our goods for silver at
rs per cent above its value,
why not cut our prices directly
and dump" our products,
without further diSrupting our
monetary stability?
