Faced with the approach of first

NEW YORK, June % G.N.SO .
Despite the loss of steel produc-
ton caused by strike Shutdowns
at various plants, the volume of
new business being taken by COM
panies not affected by strikes con-
tinues to dwindle, which may be
partly due to seasonal factors and
partly to the widespread loss of
confidence occasioned by labor
agitation, coupled with the break
down in law enforcement, aided
and abetted by the President of
the United States and the COVER
nors of the great steel.making
States of Ohio and Pennsylvania,
according to the Iron Age sum-
mary made public today.
With the closing down Of the
Johnstown plant of the Bethle-
hem Steel Corporation by order
of Governor Earle of PennSyl-
vania and the postponement of
the scheduled reopening of the
Youngstown plants of Republic
Steel Corporation and Youngs-
town Sheet and Tube Company,
when martial law was declared
in Mahoning Valley by Governor
Davey of Ohio, the amount of
steel ingot producing capacity
that has been rendered idle by
strikes is nearly 100000 tons
on an annual basis, or about Is
per cent of the country's total
capacity. In addition, 10000 steel
workers are idle and total pay
roll losses to date are about $15,-
100000, the report points out,
adding:
Labor anarchy with a Gov.
eminent guarantee places the
Strike-affected steel companies
in a position from which there
appears to be no way out that
will be satisfactory to either
side in the controversy. The
efforts of the Federal Steel
Mediation Board may come to
naught in view of the resistance
of the companies to signed
agreements and the abrOgatiOn
by Government edict of the con-
StitutiOnaI right to work.
"As the strikes enter their
fifth week. and with hopes for
a mutually satisfactory settle
ment as remote as ever, the
volume of steel business being
switched to companies not af-
fected by strikes appears to be
growing in volume, though it is
not even now of large proper
tiOnS. which is one indication
that requirements of consumers,
with some exceptions, are lessen
ing. Other developments point
ing to a downturn in consumers
needs are requests for holding
up of shipments or extension
of delivery dates beyond the
time originally specified.
The decline in new orders and
reduction in backlogS find reflec-
ton in lowered operations at
some plants where labor troubles
are not a factor The average
for the country this week is esti-
mated at IS per cent, down two
points from last week.

Business
BorometerS

New rules for conducting pre-
seasonal sales of fur-trimmed gar
mentS have been agreed upon in a
number of cities surveyed by cloak,
suit and skirt m anu a c tur ers.
Among them is Detroit where four
prominent speciality shops have
reached an agreement not to sell
fur-trimmed coats at concessions
in August, instead to feature sales
events in September. st. Louis
stores have decided on the follow
ing rules for August sales:
One-$59 price will be featured
but two other prices should also

Rural Sales Gain
Defying seasonal trends in
rebound from April's lull, Mays
rural retail sales in the East paced
the countrywide upturn over last
year with a gain of II per cent.
At the same time dollar volume
rose from l22 per cent of the
l929-31 average in April to 1870
per cent in May, according to De
partment of Commences latest ad-
lusted index. The South and Far
West tied fol second in gains over
May, 1936-up is per cent. The
Middle West trailed with a 7 per
cent rise.
Mays Tax Gains
Heavy cigarette and LIQUOR re-
ceiptS plus strong gains in other
claSSiflcationS stocked Uncle Sans
Treasury shelves with 81 per cent
greater tax receipts in May than a
year ago. Collections totaled 28l
million dollars. Three million dol.
lar gain in liquor receipts was due
almost entirely to heavier collec-
lions on distilled spirits, according
to today'S Internal Revenue re-
ports. Beer receipts, which had
been rising steadily, gained only
slightly in May to $25, 100000.
Rejecting booming manufacture
ing sales, receipts on mechanical
refrigerators climbed 1862 per cent
to $2,200,000. Increased traffic on
the nations highways was respon-
sible for 40 per cent gain in gas
oline receipts. Other barometers
of prosperity revealed in the re-
port: Fifty per cent increase in
personal income tax collections:
excess profits receipts more than
double; revenue from auto taxes
80 per cent higher than last year.

those found in the past.
The present labor troubles are more men,
acing than any in the past, because the radical
elements this time have so much political
power. They thus are able TO threaten our
whole social system.
This political power they get in part, from
their concentrated leadership and their or
ganization of new political party. They get
part of their power however, from the fact
that the kind of politician now in control

This statement seems to apply in

locks Lady of Letters" presented last
night at the Wardman Park Theater

obtaining Of money for promoting

Not that Mr.. Bullock's comedy Is
not good play. On the contrary, it
is good and there is much to it that
is nightly amusing. But it still seems
not to have had enough of rewriting.
Mr.. Bullock may argue that he has
spent hours over this very task and he
probably will be right, but still there
are some things about Lady of Let

it could be frightened up in spots and
certain moments of it could be given
more body SO that the pace of the
whole would be steadier. It all adds
up to lot Of fun, but there are those
tagging moments.
The young author has himself
