Rate Cut to 77.5
Per Cent by Strikes

NEW YORK, June 3.-As a re-
suit of strikes that have wholly
or partially shut down plants OF
three major steel companies, the
ingot production rate has declined
to 77k per cent, compared with
a revised figure of IS per cent
for last week, according to Iron
Age.
This Is the lowest rate at which
the steel industry as a whole has
operated this year. The Yomgs-
town district, where average opera
lions are down to As per cent
from "a per cent before the strike,
is the hardest hit; the Cleveland
Lorain district has declined from
80 per cent to S. per cent. ana
the Chicago area is down from SO
per cent to SO per cent. Other
districts are unaffected by strikes,
but there have been a few minor
declines owing to ordinary business
factors.
There has been some diversion
Of orders from companies affected
by strikes to those that are not,
but the amount Of this so far has
not been large. For example. a
Chicago company whose plants are
operating has had the largest vol
ume Of business in seven weeks.
If the strikes are prolonged, as
appears to be likely, a further ten
dency toward the placing of bus
mess with plants that can take
such business for reasonably early
shipment undoubtedly will develop.
However, some companies with
large backlogs will be able to take
only o moderate amount Of addi-
tional tonnage, as they are giving

RISING COSTS
SEEN FOR RAILS

Many of the problems facing the
railroads over the next few years
are directly or indirectly related
to labor costs. For example, .
wage incease of per cent or
more is possible before the end
of the year, observes the Standard
Statistics Company, in an analysis
of possible additions to railroad
operating costs.
The increase equal to 1 per cent
of wages in taxes for unemploy.
ment insurance Is effective this
year. If the Doughton bill IS en-
acted, the pension tax bill for
1887 will be reduced from 312 per
cent Of payrolls to "a per cent.
Total wages last year were
$i,S48, 49S, 422. against $1,643,214..
ia in 1885. This years wage bill
is likely to be above $4,000, ooO, 900.

automobile manufacturers for COM
pletion of production runs on 1887
models and a changeover to new
models have accounted for some
of the recent decline in steel bust
ness, but new orders for stable
lots Of sheets have been placed
for July and August delivery.
Should the strikes continue for
the greater part Of this month,
the probable effect would be to
fill up any vacant spaces in Sched'
ules Of companies that are operat.
ing and to leave the Strike-bound
companies with substantial I'M
shipped orders with which to start
production agin. Thus the op-
Grating rate for the industry as
a whole in July might be higher
than would otherwise be expected,
as there are no signs Of an i'm

Lion Eats Coyote
But Peeved Trap
Owner Gets Cash

When a man bites a dog that's news
and when a mountain lion eats a coy
ote, that is also news, according to r.
E. Dickinson, Deer Lodge forest ranger
from the Whitehall district, who re-
ported the incident recently.
Roy Murray, a Whitehall trapper,
started out to run his line" Ranger
Dickinson related. "On topping ridge
he came upon a mountain lion which
was squatting near one Of his traps
and catlike was licking his chops and
cleaning up his general appearance.
Sporting the trapper the lion turned
tail and scampered off. Murray riding
up, found only small evidence of a coy
ote that had been trapped. The re-
mainder had apparently been deyoured.
Murray, in his minds eye saw a $40
bounty vanish into thin air.
Becoming chagrined, he took out
after the lion and eventually freed the
animal in the Elkhorn foothills. A we'll
directed shot through the lions eye
brought it to the ground. The beast
weighed about 200 pounds and was
carrying three young kittens.
Instead of collecting $40 for a coy
ote skin, Murray will collect $25 for
the lion as bounty. He will also dress
the pelt for parlor rug. In killing the
lion, it is estimated that the lives Of
at least so deer are spared this year,
not considering game the kittens might
have killed if they had matured."
Murray during many years opera
lions as q trapper in the district has
killed numerous lions and seldom does
he see tracks that he doesn't run down
and kill this type of predatory animal.
To kill this lion required about three
hours longer than 1t would to take the
coyote, and the bounty viii net him S.
for each additional hour.

Old Razor Box I'm
Livingston House
Yields Gold, Bills

An old razor box that had lain about
the Harry r. Morrow home at Living
ston for nearly Is years was found to
contain S13 in gold and old, out-of-date
bills when accidentally opened.
The box, containing a razor, was
the property of Mrs. Morrow's father,
George Montgomery, who passed away
in Billings in 1923. Following Mr..
Montgomery's death many of his per-
sonal effects were handed down to the
daughter, among them the razor box
Since that time the box had been in
Mrs. Morrow's possession.
Recently it was opened, and when at
tempting to replace the cover, the
money was found carefully concealed
pieces and a 50 and 81 bill, both of
the old-faShioned variety that were
called In by the treasury department
many years ago.
