GARY, Ind.-Fellow workers,
what is going on in the Gary Steel
Works, especially No 3 open
hearth? 70 all know how we are
working on stagger system ever
since the first part of the last half
of July. The production has been
dropping right along. But there is
something extra going on in No. 8
open hearth. They are rebuilding
furnace No. 40 with double spout
and ladle stands. That means a
single furnace to make two differ
ent sorts of steel. BY enlarging the
furnace and keeping down the other
furnace we get the open hearth.
There are Is furnaces, but they only
use these engines to do the work of
four.
And, Furthermore, they are taking
down No. l open hearth pit cranes
to replace them in three open
hearths.

Trade Commission Is CrOOrned
For Large Increase in P0,cers

The Stock Exchange bill would
greatly extend it's powers along these
lines in that it could require many
things of corporations as requisite
to sale of a security on an exchange.
Its power to require certain financial
information from corporations also
would tend to give it extra authority.
The commission has been in the
public eye in recent months largely
through the securities act and the
public utility investigation. 1t is on
the basis of this investigation, now
six years old, that legislation will be
sought in the next session of Congress.
A report on chain stores will soon be
ready.
The commissions work has been
done relatively quietly. Its authority
to approve trade practices for indus
try was largely negated by adverse
court decisions. and laws, which were
relaxed by the temporary N. r. A.
law, but some officials have suggested
that the commission will be nucleus

OUTLOOK BRIGHT
FOR DAIRY FIRMS
Position in Regard to Prices
and Operations Held
Best Since 1881.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 19.-The dairy
industry is in the best position in
regard to operations and prices since
1881, says a survey issued by Dun d.
Bradstreet today.
Late pastures, rising feed costs and
decreased milk production per COW,
accompanied by broadening consump-
ton of milk and its various products,
are the major factors producing the
improvement. the survey says. Opera
tions are becoming more stabilized,
through successive negotiations be-
tween producers and distributors. and
the better level Of prices is permitting
more of the large dairy companies to
show profits. the survey says.
Sharp price advances are in pros
pect during the next 80 to go days,
the survey predicts, as the result of
the severe drought in Iowa. Minnesota,
Nebraska, the Dakotas and Wisconsin
and the decrease in production in
those districts.
Total milk production ION April
was approximately 2 per cent less
than ON April /, 1888, according to
official estimates. Dun g. Bradstreet
says. Milk production per COW on
April l was 1876 pounds, the lowest
on record for that date, but there
were 8 per cent more COWS on the
farms than last year, the survey
states
Reports of gains in milk consump-
tion lack uniformity, but show a gen.
orally higher average, the survey says
Sales of evaporated and condensed
milk are reported as steady, with a
strong impetus to demand expected to
develop around July with the in
lection of vitamin ID" into condensed
milk by some creameries.
Some domestic cheeses are reported
to be selling in large volume, while the
consumption of ice cream is reported
as 40 per cent above year ago. But
ter consumption has shown an almost
uninterrupted increase since last Fall,
the survey states.

BALTIMORE. May l9.-Business in
Baltimore showed large increases in
practically all divisions during April
and early May over the same period
a year ago, despite slight decrease
under March figures. according to the

Commenting on the report, G.
Harry Pouder. executive vice presi-
dent, declared:
Despite the undoubted progress
that has been made, business is still
very sensitive to outside influences,
and many programs are being held
in allegiance until the legislative sit
uation is cleared In Baltimore there
are steadily favorable trends in en-
ployment, pay rolls, general trade,

BANK ACT LAUDED
BY JERSEY BANKERS

The banking act of 1888, while
hastily conceived and enacted, un-
doubtedly contains much to recon-
mend it in the interest of sound and
profitable banking. Carl K. Withers,
president of the New Jersey Bankers
Association, declared before the thir-
ty-first annual convention of the
association at Atlantic City.
1T has already helped immeasur-
ably to bring back confidence in our
banks and an added feeling of secur-
ity to the minds of bankers them
selves he added. Some of the
features of the act thought particu-
larly Objectionable to our member
banks-notably the minimum stock
holding requirement for directors, and
the permanent guaranty fund-we
are hopeful may be eliminated, or at
least modified.

vF CONGRESS decides that the
| trade commission shall admin
lister the Stock Exchange control
/ bill, some officials expect the
commission to become the most
powerful permanent business regula-
tory body in the Government.
Already the commission has power
to move against trust practices, un-
fair trade practices, false advertising
in newspaper or radio; it may set up
codes of fair practices similar to N
r. AS but without Iabor provisions;
and through its reports to Congress
on special matters it may greatly in
f1uence the character of legislation.
Under the securities act, it can re-
qulre any corporation selling securities
to describe such securities fully, and
it may prevent the ,ssue of a security
if it judges the description legally
inaccurate. This is tremendous
power because procuring of capital
through security sales is essential to
most large corporations.
