High taxes, Acknowledgement
labor unrest and shocking viola
tons Of the law in industrial
centers" are threatening the flu
ture stability Of the steel industry,
Eugene g. Grace, president Of the
Bethlehem Steel Company. said
today.
He spoke as retiring president
Of the American Iron and Steel
Institute, holding its annual meet
ing here.
Asks Tax Reduction
Grace's address was evenly di-
vided between expressed satisfac-
ton with the present condition
OF the steel industry and predic.
lions Of disaster for the future I'M
less taxes are reduced and labor
assured that industry is not its
enemy. He said:
Employment is at q new
high level with $4,000 men at
work. If the rate Of operations
for this year continues the ingOt
output will be close to $4,000, 900
tons as compared with the S.
$4,000 tons in the record year
of 1929.
But 1 should like to introduce
word of caution. Industry can
not be expected to practice all

Stunning public q few billions by

be Disappointing"
POINTS TO EARNINGS
After pointing out that the aver.
age earnings of major steel COM
panieS during the past IL years
have been less than 4 per cent on
invested capital, Grace turned to
the labor situation. He said:
"There can be no better in
veStment than liberal pay to
labor, but the labor question is
the outstanding problem in to-
days industrial life. Labor un-
rest is retarding Improvement
and the pressure is coming from
the outside.

Pressing home his point with
proofs from the records, Judge
Phelps cited numerous instances
where the board had paroled men
"in clear violation of the law. He
stated the records showed 289 men
released from the penitentiary in
1886. Of these his examination of
the records showed 144 were pa

expiration of their terms. OF the 144

Judge Phelps said Seventy-six out
of the 145 released had had their
minimum terms reduced by the
board, he found.
