Proposal on Two Jobs
Adds to Confusion.

Disclosure today that Secretary
Ickes Is proposing to spend $1,000, 900
in low-cost housing projects in the
District of Columbia served to throw
the local housing situation in more
confusion.
Housing officials in the Interior De-
partment said the budgetory set-up
represents an increase of nearly So
600 900 for local projects. Heretofore
Secretary 1ckes had budgeted s4,200,-
900 for two projects. one for white and
the other for colored families.
The applications made public today
in Ickes' absence from Washington
include s4000,000 for one develop

For many months housing officials
have been negotiating for two sepa-
rate sites in Washington, one for
white families on Rhode Island ave-
nue. northeast. between Twelfth and
Seventeenth streets. the other in the
vicinity of the Washington Barracks,
in the southwest.
Officials Silent.

additional light on the local situation
as a result of the two new applica-
tions for funds.
Fear was felt in official circles that
the proposal to spend an additional
100000 in the District of Colum-
bia would serve to boost land costs
and retard and setback the entire
housing project.
Protests of property owners on
Rhode Island avenue have embar-
rassed negotiations of the housing Sec
ton in that district.
No explanation was given today
why the two applications were di-
vided into s3,000.000 and $4,000 900.

New Deal chieftains in Senate and
House already we're going ahead with
their own studies. Some expressed
doubt that varied pending New Deal
legislation, such as the A. A. A. amend
ments, the utilities holding company
and banking bills and the social Sc
curity legislation. could withstand the
force of the Supreme Courts unani-
nous ruling.
Commission Considered.
Several members of the National In
dustrial Recovery Board were consid-
ering recommending the creation of
Government commission to study the
problem, with view to legislation at
the next session of Congress.
Proposals were made for study by
some members of the Recovery Board
of the advisability of appointing a
Government commission, but these
still were tentative.
The major problem for the consid-
Grafton of such commission would
be whether a constitutional amend
ment is necessary, it was said. 1t
might also be empowered to Coop
crate with industry on strictly VOL
untary basis, whereby members OF in
dustry would contract individually
with the Government. it was said. 1t
was suggested that uniform contracts
might be drawn for this purpose.

OF the 731 NJ r. A. codes.
American Federation of Labor Off
cials and their counsel gathered with
President William Green in a special
meeting to map a policy. There was
rome talk of strikes.
It was decided to have the House
recess, in view of prospective Repub-
lican assaults on the New Deal as
unconstitutional.
Smell Sees New Deal Out.
Representative Smell of New York,
the Republican leader, told news
paper men, The whole New Deal is
out the window.
IF President Roosevelt now would
forget all this experimenting and go
back to the beginning as he did when
he sent up the economy act, and put
things back on a business basis, the
country would come back"
A complete rewriting of the A. A.
A. amendments to conform to the
Supreme Court decision was decided
on today by Senate and House leaders
together with Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace.

tor General Stanley Reed. Donald

No Quick Action Likely.
1t generally was agreed that no ac-
ton was in immediate prospect. Lead
ers pointed out that the power of the
President to make codes had been
held unconstitutional and that 1t
would be an impossible task for Con-
eress to enact legislation stipulating
codes for each industry.

Above Last Year.
Special Dispatch to TIE Star.

NEW YORK, July 3.-Expenditures
for new rolling stock announced by
transit companies during the first half
Of 1885 were greater than those made
during the entire year of 1884, ac-
cording to information compiled by
the publication Transit Journal. The
total value of orders placed and bids
mately S42 SOC, 900, as compared with
about $18,500,000 spent last year.
More than $500 vehicles of various
types are included.
A total Of l,251 electric rail cars
are included in the orders already
placed and those now pending. One
large operating company has asked
for bids on q lot of 500 street cars
and another on q lot of 100 street
cars. In the rapid transit field an
order has been placed for one lot of
26 cars and another order for lot of
125 cars will be placed as soon as ap-
proval Is obtained from the regulatory
authorities. Another large rapid
transit system has asked for bids on
lot of 500 cars.
In the first six months of this year,
Transit Journal continues, 1870 trolley
buses were ordered, as compared with
So bought during 1884. The high
record Of trolley busses bought during
any previous year was 116 purchased
in 1880.
Motor bus orders placed by transit
companies during the first half of
this year total 1,205 vehicles. Should
this rate of buying continue through
the remainder of the year the total
for 1885 will be 2,410 vehicles of this

STEEL RATE SHOWS
DROP
Heavy Demand Expected to
Follow Recession of
Holiday Week.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 3.-Sharply cur
tailed production schedules feature
the steel industry this week, due to
the holiday, but substantial demand
is looked for next week, said Iron
Age today In its weekly summary.
Ingot output on the eve Of the
holiday shutdown was 81 per cent OF
capacity and the average for the
period may fall we'll below 80 per
cent. according to the review. In
the previous week production was rated
at 38 per cent.
"a low operating rate is In line with
seasonal expectations, it said. The
Summer recession. however, VIII be
less severe and of shorter duration
than in 1884. according TO prevailing
views in the trade.
Auto Orders Foreseen.
THE automobile industry, IN keep
ing with its plan to start production
of new models in September. will
doubtless resume the placing OF sub
stantial steel orders In August.
Agricultural buying power. thanks
to ample precipitation, Is the best
in four years; farm equipment plants
remain active, though in 3 between
season period, while tractor manu-
facturers are still falling behind in
their efforts to catch up with back
orders.
"The nascent revival Of residential
building, the growth Of factory con-
struction, the appearance Of inquiries
from the oil industry for pipe lines
and refineries, and, finally, the in
creasing diversification Of miscel-
laneous orders for iron and steel. are
also suggestive that the basis is being
laid for a broad business improve
ment.
Scrap Points to Rise.
"Scrap, always sensitive barometer,
likewise points to early trade i'm
provement. A youngstown district
mill has closed for upward of $4,000
tons of steel-making scrap without
developing further price weakness, and
at Chicago q consumer purchase has
resulted in an advance, raising the

SLOTS a ton"
Pig iron production In June was

Trade Volume Shows Decline
Despite Increase IN Value

Export trade was less favorable than
domestic trade. During the first four
months, not only the quantity Of goods
sold abroad was lower than last year,
but the value Of exports declined from
s7o5 ,ooo, 900 in 1884 to $6as ,000. 900
in 1895.
The apparent curtailment Of the
quantity of goods distributed this year
suggests the accumulation Of q sur
plus, in view Of the relatively high
rate Of manufacturing activity. The
existence Of this surplus Is one Of the
important factors foreshadowing an
eventual setback to the recovery
movement.
While a larger harvest this year will
be favorable In 50 far as the long
term is concerned. it is likely to be
an unsettling factor in the immediate
future, according to the institute.

OUTLOOK REMAINS
DARK FOR UTILITIES
Market Displays Languid
Qualification at Defeat
of death Sentence"
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

.SpCSA&A 1Aob8bSn W nc 1SAE"
NEW YORK, July 3.-The response
Of the stock market to the news of
the defeat Of the administration In
the House Of Representatives on the
death sentence" in the public utility
bill was not particularly impressive.
Even after the Presidents wishes
had been overridden more decisively=
on a record vote, the market evidenced
only languid qualification.
1t would be unsafe to assume that
this attitude will be maintained. The
present market has a record Of re-
flecting news after the event rather
than discounting 1t in advance, and
it may yet initiate a broad upward
movement in the public utility stocks.
However that may be, it is in order
to point out that conditions con-
fronting the utilities, entirely aside
from the proposed legislation, whether
modified or not, are unsatisfactory.
The situation is that utility man
agements are forced to pay a steadily
increasing tax bill, to provide for con-
stantly rising costs, both for labor
and materials, and to take into con-
sideration the prospect Of reduced
rates.
There is no reason to believe taxa
ton will become any less burdenSome,
but quite the contrary. The trend
of costs Is upward and there Is no
sign Of any reversal there.
The best that any utility can hope
for is that the charges it makes for
services it sells will be unchanged;
the worst. that they will be reduced.
Then the utility executives know
that public regulation, whether i'm
posed by the States or the Federal
Government. Is destined TO become
more rigid rather than less.
Under the circumstances 1t would
be logical to exercise degree Of
discrimination with regard to the
utilities.
The cutting out of the death SEN
tence" In the House bill is not to
be minimized. 1t Is important not
only with regard to the utilities, but
in that it testifles to more conserva.
tive treatment of other controversial
New Deal proposals. To that extent
it is constructive and ought to be
helpful to the market as a whole,
but it does not change the immediate
outlook. a.
