That the stock ever will be ac-
tually issued and how much cash it
will finally bring into enterprise
must remain problematical.
OF course it would be untrue to
say all the refunding operations
represent no gain to industry. They
do give industry an extension on
past due notes VI notes about to
come due. Also in many cases old
bonds have been refunded at lower
interest rates. This is we'll enough.
But it has no relation to the long
looked for revival of the capital
goods industry which is so sorely
needed.
1t is this sluggiShneSs of new capt.
tai funds which many observers
have in mind when they insist there
has been no genuine recovery save
as government funds have taken the
place of the private capital goods
industry in repleniShing the ma

Raiding parties have been at work
to bring new men into the corpora
tons ranks-the third phase of
program directed by Myron G. Tay-
lor, chairman of the board. One
such raid landed Mr.. FairleSs from
Republic steel, where he had been
vice president.
Another took James S. McKes-
son from Corrigan, Mckinney Steel
Co. to open a new line for the cor
poration-the sale of pig iron. AL
though its pig-iron production ca
pacity is unsurpassed, U. S. Steel
has made that product onl.- for its
steel furnaces. Other steel firms
have found it profitable line.
Others May Follow
David jenkins, assistant to Mr.
Fairless at youngstown, will also be
with the billion dollar steel firm,
and there is a strong report that
five other key men of Republic steel
will follow. These are rumored to
be the manager of bar sales, the
head Of alloy sales. two metallurgiStS
and the central district alloy man
ager.
These men will constitute a for
midable squad to corner the alloy
business. The experience of Mr..
Fairless has run largely to the
manufacture, development and sale
of alloy steels.
1t was a terSe memorandum issued
last Aug % from II Broadway, New
York, which electrified the entire
industry and forwarned that the
corporation was preparing for a
counter offensive after four years
of heavy losses and beatings.
Steel Circles Buzzing
The announcement simply gave
the name of Mr.. FairleSs and deSig-
mated him to "head" the direction of
production and sales of the Unified

MES, the two biggest U. S. Steel sub

Corp" But the trade could learn
nothing of the future of I. Lamont
Hughes, president of Carnegie Steel
Co. He was variously rumored as
leaving the corporation to go with
three separate competitors.
G. G. Thorp, president of Illinois

tire in three years, if he does not
prefer to do so now. But Mr.. Hughes
