STEEL MAKERS
PREPARING TO
BOOST OUTPUT
BY WALTER s. TOWER

BY WALTER s. TOWER
Executive Secretary, American Iron and
Steel Institute.
Written Especially for the Wash. Herald
Despite adverse conditions
which affected operations of the
steel industry in this country in
1888, wage rates Of employees
were unchanged, remaining at the
highest level in the history of the
industry.
The lower production rate neceS-
STATED some reduction in employ.
ment and in total payrolls, but the
declines in these items were not
as severe as the shrinkage in out
put. Compared with a drop of 56
per cent in production during the
first nine months of 1888, employ.
ment declined only 26 per cent.
P0yrOlLs Gain
The average number Of wage
earners for the first nine months
of the year was 385, 900, compared
with 521, 900 in the corresponding
period Of 1887, when a record was
CoO6DAAo1lCO III C11P1Oy1AAC1G. 4LlO
tide of employment turned before
the close Of 1888, and additions to
pay rolls wre reported during the
last quarter. Total pay rolls Of
the industry for the year were
over $500, ,000, 900, as compared
with $976, ,083, 600, which was the
highest ever recorded.
Future Promising
The steel industry enters 1889
with better prospects than those
of a year ago, despite the con-
tinued influences Of some retard.
ing factors, among which lack Of
railroad buying, little activity
among the utilities and foreign un-
certainties are prominent.
The production of steel during
1888 fell back almost to the level
of 1894. Total output for the year
was more than 40 per cent below
that Of 1887.

Further Development

The Pepco head said that in
crease in the District population
will mean the further develop
ment of commercial selling and
service activities. How fast these
increases will take place will de-
pend a great deal upon the pros
perity of the remainder of the
country.

but both sides are willing to
make them to insure continued
control Of the government.
