AUTO WORKERS DEMAND
$2,24O MINIMUM WAGE
BY the Associated Press.

MILWAUKEE,, January 2.-Union
workers employed in the automobile
industry in Wisconsin have presented
a demand to the N. r. A. for yearly
minimus wage of S2,240.
Automobile production is too sea-
sonable for an hourly wage to mean
anything" said Edward Hall of the
National Council of the United Auto
Workers of the United States.
Hall said the S2,240 was recently
mentioned by President Roosevelt as
an average living wage.
On behalf of members of II Wis
consin locals, Hall submitted the de-
mand to Harry Weiss of Washington,
an investigator for the Planning and
Research Division of the N. r. A.
The union men also asked 30-hour

STEEL RATE HITS
3PER CENT MARK
Rebound of Seven Points
Puts Average at Point
Above End of June

CLEVELAND, July 14.-Steel works
operations rebounded z points to SO
per cent last week, reaching normal
level of one point above the closing
week of June, the magazine Steel
states in It's weekly review.
Operations were down abnormally
during the week of July 4 because of
the holiday shutdown.
The usual seasonal decline is not
in evidence at present, chiefly because
automobile assemblies are back to an
early June rate, farm implement
builders are operating at 80 per cent
of normal, and machine tool and
miscellaneous equipment sellers are
showing a decided improvement, said
the magazine.
Construction industries and the
railroads, however, are giving the mar
ket comparatively light support. Struc-
tural shape awards declined $4,000
tons during the week.
Can makers continue to place heavy
commitments, operations now averag-
ing 65 per cent.
Buying in the scrap market was
light but prices remained strong. In
Cleveland, the price advanced 81 to
So ton.
Steel ingot production in June was
$780, 1893 gross tons, 1873 per cent less
than in May. The daily average was
1926 tons, loss of 8.5 per cent,
Steels figures show.
Steel output for the first six months
was l6,024,69l tons, 2.3 per cent less
than in the first half OF 1884. The
steel works operating rate for the half
year was 46.7 per cent. one point lower
than last year.
Steels iron and steel composite was
up cent to S32 40, with finished steel
remaining at s54 and the scrap index
