Steel Operations Jump
still under pressure from motor
manufacturers, farm implement and
refrigerator makers, and other steel
consumers, steel operations have
jumped into profitable areas. Sheet
mills have stepped up activity to so
per cent of capacity; some are
operating at 100 per cent. Tin plate
mills average about the same. Scrap
prices remain firm, though one CEN
ter posted reductions offset by in
creaseS elsewhere. United States
Steel is restoring certain salary
cuts, and urging subsidiary COM
panies TO do likewise, in view of the
satisfactory trend of operations.
while the four billion dollar
work relief program of the Admin
istration is not viewed any too
cheerfully in many quarters, the
steel industry realizes that it is
likely to gain more from such a
program than through a straight
dole which would benefit consumer
goods most directly. A work pro-
gram means highways, and grade
crossing eliminations, projects call
ing for steel products. Looking back
at 1894, the industry realizes how
heavily sustained by Federal funds
were its operations of last year.
Rail production gained 100000
tons of which over 100000 involved
Governmental aid. Much of the II
per cent increase in track accessory
production, the so per cent gain in
tubing and pipe, the II per cent
raise in plate output and other
products can be traced to Federal
aid. Indirectly, and furthered by
the drought, Government relief of
agriculture explains the 81 per cent
increase in steel bars.
Cloth Production Climbs
"Stin the II per cent increase in
steel ingot output in 1884 is far
from satisfactory, and better gains
are to be expected when private
industry comes into the market.
Simplification of registration regu-
lationS by the SEC and willingness
of the RFC to lend for moderniza-
ton of plants and equipment may
help to stimulate industrial pur-
chases. Motor manufacturers are
expected to do equipment buying in
1885, though at present the ten
dency is to get along with what
they have.
Cotton cloth production jumped
from 1877 million yards to 120 mil
lion yards in the first week of 1885,
which should mean a sharp increase
in the consumption of cotton from
the December levels. Last months
takingS by mills were 10 per cent
above a year ago. Judging by the

On Borah's motion, the Senate re-

Bethesda Baptist-In celebration
of Mothers Day, Sunday, more than
the usual number of members and
visitors were present. Speaking
from the second chapter of Luke,
Rev. ]. ]. Clayburn called attention
to the boyhood of Jesus, his love
and consideration for his mother
with the early determination ''to
be about his fathers business" The
pastor argued from this that 1T was
the clear business of mothers to
see to it that their children were
raised in the fear and admonition
of the Lord if they hoped to re-
ceive in future years that love and
veneration for themselves which
should mark Mothers Day"

church very tastefully in flowers
and plants, covering the altar with
white cloth, making the entire
church respond with the atmos-

memorial.
