vas but natural to expect setback
in steel operations.
The recent threat Of a steel strike
undoubtedly caused many manu-
facturers to anticipate their require
ments Of the metal further in adj
vance than usual. Since the pro-
ducers Of steel do business on a
current order basis, they would have
been unable to meet demands had
their plants been tied up by a gen.
eral strike. The danger of a strike
IN the immediate future now has
passed. so protection" orders have
ceased.
TINE third factor affecting Oper-
i ations was the recent advance
in prices. Under the code the price
increases could not be into effect
until ten days after the new rates
had been flied. This gave consum-
ers an opportunity to place orders
for future requirements at the old
rate. Inasmuch as the code pre-
vents the carryover of orders from
one quarter to another. the steel
mills we're obliged to keep oper-
atoms at a high level to fill requi-
sitions before July l. Apparently
they got fairly well through with
these a week in advance.
In view of the forward buying
which has taken place during the
last month or so it would occasion
no great surprise if steel operations
declined still further within the
next few weeks.
THE banks of the country have
Il been criticised quite severely
during the last year or so for not
lending money more freely to in
dustry. Jesse Jones. chairman of
the Reconstruction Finance CorpO-
ration. has been one of the most
frequent users of the hammer.
The bankers came to their own
defense by explaining that they
would be only too glad to loan
money if they could find good
credit risks. Apparently Mr.. Jones
is beginning TO appreciate their
point of view. He has Just turned
down a bid of a loan from the
WiIlys-Overland Manufacturing Cor
poration.
THE federal reserve board has
i begun its study of margin re-
quirements for stock trading-the
job which was dumped into its lap
by the new market regulation law.
1t is reasonable to suppose that the
board will not attempt to apply the
brakes very hard at this time.
Stock speculation is conspicuous
by its absence these days, and a
little more of it probably would do
more good than harm.

OUTLET SOUGHT
FOR HUGE FUNDS
Idle Millions Are Reported
Awaiting Satisfactory
Investment.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November lit Is
currently reported that one life insur-
ance company has in bank $125, 5,000,-
900 of funds awaiting satisfactory in
vestment, and that another is holding
between s5O,OOO,00O and 100000 900
against offerings of securities that are
preferred by its officials from the
standpoint of security and yield.
Still others have substantial
amounts to which they would like to
give employment. One of this group
last week was the purchaser of Is per
cent of the total $4,000, 900 of Home
Owners Loan Corp. per cent bond
issue. Every good municipal or corpo-
ration security that comes on the mar
ket is quickly absorbed by the buyers
for the life insurance companies in
the effort to place their new pre-
miumS, the proceeds of liquidated
loans and their annuity payments on
a working basis.
Still the money piles up. 1t grows
more rapidly now than in normal
times, as the flow of new securities
into the market is small compared
with the sums available for invest
-ment. This is not, however, the only
problem that faces the institutional
buyer. Perhaps more important is
the difficulty of obtaining issues of
proper type for trustee funds that will
earn enough to permit the life insur-
ance companies to continue to pay
their former dividends to their policy
holders.
The trend of all interest rates is to-
ward a lower level. This is a world
wide condition. Not only in the
United States but in Great Britain,
France and Canada, short funds
are now below any average witnessed
during this generation. This fact af-
fects not only the life insurance COM
panies but the savings banks of the
country. Today we have the an
nouncement that the 1885 rate on de-
posits of the savings banks in New
York State must be, by the decree of
the superintendent of banking, re-
duced to 2l2 per cent. Earlier, the
mutual banks of Greater New York
had established this rate as the one
to prevail after January l. This af-
fects IS 900, 100000 of deposits in mu-
tual banks in the metropolitan area
and as much more outside this city.
Throughout the country the decline

Testifies Policeman Urged
Shoemaker Case Be DrOpped
Ne,Unsan Says Offer to
Pay for Damage to-
Cab Vas Made.
Confirmation Of Cab.
mans Story of Assault
Is Civen in Court.

Confirmation Of the story of Charles
Newman, l25-pound taxlcab driver,
that Representative Francis H. Shoe
maker of Minnesota assaulted MIN on
March wa; given to a Police Court
jury today by Policeman Joseph v.
Cook. Shoemaker went on trial this
morning on an assault charge.
Previously, Newman had testified
that he was approached by a police
man named "Overstreet" the day after
the alleged assault and urged to drop
the case in return tor payment OF
damage done to Newman's cab by
Shoemaker when the Representative
rammed his car against the back of Ii
as he became impatient at q traffic
light. The policeman, Newman stated,
told him he came from Shoemaker.
The only "Overstreet" on the police
force Is Howard M. Overstreet Of the
Traffic Bureau.
Policeman Cook in his testimony
quoted Shoemaker as saying: Yes,
hit him and I'll kill him il get
to him."
This statement was made. Cook said,
after Newman had pursued Shoemaker
from Florida and New Jersey avenues,
where he alleges Shoemaker hit him
twice during a trafflc dispute. and
forced him into the curb at Ninth
and U streets.
Called To Scene.
Cook testified Newman called him
from his post where he was directing
traffic and told him Shoemaker had
hit him in the eye.
The officer said Shoemaker lunged
past him at Newman and that the
blow grazed the taxicab driver.
Il asked him for his permit" Cook
said "and Mr.. Shoemaker said, where
I come from we don't need any per-
mits. I'm a Congressman and my
name is Shoemaker. Every one in
Washington knows me-"
Shoemaker then showed the officer
his congressional tags, Cook said. and
got in his car and drove away, almost
striking him.
Another witness. Harold Porter,
colored. 400 block of Florida avenue,
testified that he heard Shoemaker
curse at Newman and saw him lunge
at him.
Representative Shoemaker's attor-
ney is Representative Raymond ].
Cannon of Wisconsin. David A. Hart,
an assistant United States attorney,
is the prosecutor
Defense Challenges Witnesses.
The trial opened at 1915 o'clock
this morning before Judge Gus A.
Schuldt. Three witnesses were chal-
lenged, by the defense and the jury
was then impaneled.
Newman, the first witness, said the
trouble started at Rhode Island and
New Jersey avenues, where he had

stopped for traffic light. He said
Shoemaker blew his horn impatiently
at him and then drove his automobile
violently into the back of the cab as
the light flashed yellow. Shoemaker
continued to drive into the rear Of his
taxicab, Newman said, until 1t was
forced half block to the intersec-
ton Of Florida avenue. There, Shoe
maker Is said to have gotten out Of
his car. reached into Newman's auto
mobile and struck the taxicab driver
in the eye with his fist. When he
got out Of his cab, Newman said.
Shoemaker lunged at him and knocked
him down. threatening to have his
permit revoked
Street Car Halted.
Newman said street car was forced
to stop because Shoemaker's automo-
bile was blocking the track. The con-
ductor, he said, asked Shoemaker to
move his automobile and the law
maker snatched the conductors hat
from his head to look at the number
remarking "Ill block traffic for an
hour If I want to, I'm a Congress-
man." Shoemaker then got in his
automobile and drove away. the wit
ness said. Newman pursued him to
Ninth and U streets, he testified.
forcing him to the curb there and
calling Policeman Cook.
Cannon asked Newman II he were
