By EDWARD KRICKER

NEW YORK, Aug. "a UN.S0

registered in Pepperell Manufac-
turing, Colt Patent Fire Arms and
Carrier Corporation. The latter
reached a new peak at 1874, on
persistent demand. Cooper BeSSe-

CITIZENS SEEK
LAW, ORDER
IN SEATTLE

SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. "a
Q.NSO.-PicketS continued to
patrol the sidewalks outside the
Post Intelligencer building here
today as Seattle entered its elev-
enth consecutive day without a
recognized morning newspapre. .
Burly longshoremen, teamsters,
and maritime trade workers
manned the picket lines together
with members of the American
Newspaper Guild who walked out
from the PoSt-Intelligencer, Oldest
newspaper in Seattle, in an effort
to force reinstatement of two dis
missed editorial employees.
Citizens Organize
Meanwhile, formal organization
of the Law and Order League, a
citizens group, was announced to-
day.
The league invited "every Seat
tie citizen" to join it, declaring:
Maintenance of law and or
der is the primary function Of
government.
"CrimeS Of violence-mob &C
tivity-Iawlessness in all its
fOrmS-must be driven from our
city"
At the same time the guild con-
tinued publication of four-page
newspaper, devoted almost entirely
to strike news, which made its APP
pearance on the second day of the
strike.
Heavy details of police officers
were being maintaine doutside the
newspaper plant, as a guard
against violence, following brief
flareups in which several men were
severely beaten early in the strike.
Hearing Set September 8
Hearing on the case before the
National Labor Relations Board
has been set for September 8.
Officials Of the newspaper have
contended the strike abrogateS
the constitutional rights Of free
dom of the press and have de.
manded the mayor and Governor
aid in maintaining law and Or
der which it is claimed have been
menaced by the strike.
Efforts mediate the strike thus
far have failed, the newspaper
claiming there is nothing to dis
,cuss but the matter Of law and
order because the case Of the
dismissed employees has been
taken before the Federal Labor
Relations Board.
While the Seattle Central
Labor Council, following the
calling Of the strike, placed the
Post-Intelligencer on its "unfair"
list, members of the typograph-
ical union, the pressmen'S union
and the mailers union have pro-
tested this action to William L.
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor.

STEEL OUTPUT
BEST SINCE
MAY, 1880

NEW YORK, Aug. "a G.N.S).
National output Of steel in
creased ~ points last week to
u per cent of capacity, highest
since May 1880, the Magazine
Steel stated today.
The rate represents an increase
of 20 points over the comparable
week of last year.
Demand is still showing greater
strength than in any recent COM
parable season with heavy back
log overcoming moderate declines
in new steel specification.
Automobile sales are holding up.
Last weeks production exceeded
output in the previous week and
was more than $4,000 units
ahead of the same week last
year. With one manufacturer
definitely decided on September
Is for initial showing Of 1887
models and another likely to
make a debut September 8. auto
motive requirements Of steel are
gradually becoming more pro.
nounced.
Railroad car work and ship
building had a comparatively
quiet week, but here also pros
poets for future activity are
good. Scrap prices rose to the
highest levels in more than six
years, further narrowing the
spread between basic pig iron.
Magazine Steel's scrap composite
is now $15.13, up 80 cents from
the previous week and the high
est since October 1929. Because
of the sharp advances in scrap,
steel makers are studying the
obsolescene of blast furnaces.
Since 1919, more than 20 stacks
have been diSmantled and only
20 built.
About Is per cent of the steel
made since January l has gone
into auto production.

PITTSBURGH, Aug. "a G.N.S0.
Striking for union recognition, in
creased wages and shorter work
ing hours, about 800 employees of
the Standard Steel Spring Com
pany plants at Coraopolis today
entered their second week of self
enforced idleness.
The eighth day of the walkout
began with little hope of settle
ment in sight. Officials of Local
200 of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton of Iron, Steel and Tin Work
ers continued to demand a CLOSED
shop" and recognition Of their
union, and the steel company's
management was equally adamant
in its refusal to deal with outside
agitatorS."
D. T. Gleason, president Of the
company, asserted that unless the
striking employees soon returned to
work it might become necessary to
shut the plants permanently, due
to "loSS of business. Gleason said
all the company's business will go
to competitors, and "the entire
business will necessarily face liqui-
dation."
Striking at GleaSon's statement,
Clinton S. Golden, regional direc-
tor of the SWOC, said:
"The first step is the closing
of the plants. Next will come
hints the plants are going to
close indefinitely. Then will fol
low propaganda to demOralize
the morale of the workers
