On su condici6n de arbitro, me-
i6 la "patita" hasta la rodilla.
A el Sc lie habian fijado, por

es: Los fabricantes ofrecfan

No tenia atribuciones por GUAM

veinte, para fijar un 409o, y no
tenia poderes, por cuanto los ia
oricantes ofrecian un diez por
ciento para hacer 10 que hizo.
De modo que ell departamento
de conciliaci6n de la secretarfa,
por falta de Ihabilidad, flo un
precio diez por ciento mas bajo
del que los patronos habian pro-
metido a los torcedores.

coin and bullion is reported flowing
into Ottawa from abroad to be stored
in the vaults of the Bank of Canada.
1t is said more than 00000,000
worth has been stored during the past
few months in the new bank building
on Wellington street.
Bank officials will not comment on
any aspect of the operations. which
are carried out with utmost secrecy,
with police guards and armored cars
meeting trains that bring the ship
ments.
Some monetary experts believe the
gold is being sent to Canada so it
would be readily available for purchase
of munitions in the United States
should Britain be involved in war
They point out that during the
World War the entire gold production
of South Africa was shipped to Can
ada for refining and eventual credit to
Britain for purchase of war supplies
in the United States.
Other experts say the gold is stored
here by the Bank Of England for safe
keeping because of the unsettled state
Of Europe and the danger Of retaining
large gold supply in London should

NEW YORK, May 2O-The steel in
dustry was the largest single manufac-
turing employer last year, with more
than half million men dependent on
it for their bread and butter.
The far-hung textile industry as a
whole, of course, supplies more Jobs,
but no single branch not even cotton
fabrication-tops steel Only the rail-
roads. with q million-o jobs, hand
out a larger batch of pay envelopes
every week.
Steel workers and their families form
a group so large only three cities in
the United States-New York. Chicago
and Philadelphia-can boast larger
populations.
What is the average family head OF
this phantom city like?
A recent survey by the American
Iron and Steel Institute paints the fol-
lowing picture of workers who guide
molten iron along its course to becom-
ing steel beam or sheet:
In the first place, they are mostly
Americans Seven out of ten were born
in this country, and less than 10 per
cent have never become citizens.
Age Average Is 3S.
The average steel worker is 38 years
old, two years older than he was in
1880. Four out of ten are more than
40 years old. Technilogical improve
ment has increased the necessity for
skilled men. favoring those with ex-
perience and few gray hairs.
Their education is about in line
with the national average. Half Of
those hired during 1886 and 1887 never
got beyond grade schools. Some 43
per cent reached high school and about
per cent were college trained. This
is a substantial improvement over 1929,
when only % per cent of those hired
had been to high school and but 2 per
cent had trod the halls of some uni
versity.
Like the average American, their IA
vorite outdoor diversion is baseball.
Three out of four own automobiles,
which is-partly responsible for the
fact one-fifth of them rate hunting
and fishing No. outdoor diversion.
Among the less strenuous sidelines,
movies, radio and cards are tops.
Weekly Pay at $50.
His weekly pay check was $50 last
year, against s36 in 1929. Hourly pay
rates top the previous boom peaks by
a substantial margin (82 cents against
IS cents). but hours Of work slumped
from IS per week to 37
The fact hours of work were cut
contributed largely to the rise in the
number employed above the 1929
level last year.
He is supervised by executives who
once worked with him for the most
part, 9 out of 10 officials having
climbed the ladder from the cement
