Further Steel Decline
Seen as Result Of
Coal Situation
Continued Weakness
In Scrap Prices Also
Noted in Report
By the Associated Press.

Ds WIG naoOlldlcu FIeob.
NEW YORK, May 17.-Iron Age
said today the steel industry was
still concerned over the coal mining
situation.
Said the steel publication: THE
heavy bookings of sheets and strip
which may be augmented some
what by bar bookings If the guam
tity discount on bars is continued
to the end of the quarter, probably
will tend to prevent further de-
cline In steel operations, which this
week are down a point and half
to 451a per cent.
THE coal situation has not en-
tlrely disappeared as an influence,
however, because the captive mines,
owned and operated by steel COM
panies, have not yet signed with the
United Mine Workers, and, If there
is no agreement at meetings that
are being held held this week, steel
companies may be forced to buy
coal from independent mining COM
panies.
The steel companies are expected
to resist the union shop provision
that was written into the labor con-
tracts signed by commercial mining
companies, which might lead to a
similar demand with respect to steel
mill contracts. The captive mines
are still closed"
The publication cited further
weakness in steel scrap prices at
Pittsburgh, which have declined 30
cents a ton, bringing the Iron Age
scrap composite down to S1408, low
est since January, 1888"
1t added: Near seaboard prices
are remaining firm as a result of
export buying. Orders placed by
European countries in the past two
weeks are estimated at 100000 to
100000 tons.
The Iron Age finished steel COM
posite price for this week is 2236
cents a pound. Had it been fig
ured on the basis of prices that were
in effect late last week, assuming an
average reduction of S6 a ton on
f1at-rolled products, it would have
been 2.l90 cents, compared with last
October's low of 2211 cents. The
1886 low, prior to wage increases,
was 2.0l6 cents"

In the opinion of Earl Robinson
and Alex North, composers. for the
Federal theater production, "The
Life and Death of an American" it
is easier to compose a new song
than to find an old one, especially if
the latter happened to be a ma
tional hit Among the recordings
called for by the script are Eyes,
We Have No Bananas" Missouri
Waltz" and Turkey Trot." In the
first music shop visited, Robinson
and North encountered girl of
about 18. She had never heard of
eyes, We Have No Bananas" but
thought it was a swell title. The
composers went out feeling like Rip
Van Wrinkles.
The Columbia university library
finally yielded Eyes, We Have No
Bananas" but could do nothing
about Turkey Trot" or Missouri
Waltz" From the New York Pub
lie library came the sheet music of
Turkey Trot' and when the play
opened, a. pit orchestra had to be
substituted for gramaphone. The
grandmother of a member of the
cast donated the Missouri Waltz
record. Then it was learned that
there was no lover There" record.
A long search disclosed one at the
bottom of pile of old records in
Ninth avenue secondhand furniture
store.
In the old days, it used to be the
cellar. Then it was the basement.
Now, according to what I was told

fair, it is the 'Rumpus ROOM 1t
seems that the "Rumpus Room" is
a place where you can have a lot
of fun and make lot of noise.
The one at the fair has just about
everything in the way of athletic
apparatus except bowling alley.
And there's an easy chair and book
table, too. Curiously enough, it's
heated with a gas furnace. And

The Silver Sickle

And Now the silver sickle of
the autumn Moon!
Autumn is like age-it steals
upon us before we know it. So
silently, SO stealthily is creeps on
the heels of summer that we are
hardly aware, except from ref
erence to the calendar, that it has
come. But some afternoon we
look about us to find the sunshine
has paled since morning. The for
ests far and near fame with GRIM
son and with gold. Beneath our
feet the purple leaves rustic in
mournful reminder of the good
summer that has gone. The shocks
of corn stand in the brown fields
like Indian wigwams. The air
fills the nostrils with whiffs of
burning leave s. The horizon
flashes with darts of Pickering
flame. Autumn is here before we
knew summer had gone.
Autumn is like age-it fills men
with memories. There were a
thousands things we had thought
to do in the warmth of the open
air. There were a thousand things
went wrong when summer was
here. But memory gilds them all
with the gloss of forgetfulness,
leaving only the joys of sunshine
and Gods out-of-doors to brigh-
ten the melancholy days Of fall
and winter. Natures way, this, of
compromising for the rigors of
winter and what time it has
taken away.
Autumn is like life-it promises
another life. Nature has cast aside
it's beautiful decorations. 1t has
gathered it's harvest. 1t has wrap
ped itself in it's blanket, in pro-
lection of itself f or another
springtime, rebirth. a bigger
planting and a bigger harvest.
In the spring the silver sickle
of the crescent moon!

Do what?
Pay those higher prices!
That is the way Secretary Wal
lace of the Department of Agri-
culture would say it if he were
trying to be collegiate and make
a noise. But the Secretary in a
quiet, deadly way has said that
there is no excuse for prices on
food to be hiked on account of
the war.
Sugar, flour, meal, lard and
meat jumped for the sky when
the guns began to pop across the
water. But there is still big
surplus Of food in America. SO
much so, in fact, that the Surplus
Commodity Corporation is dislling
out food to reliefers, because it
can't be sold. The rise Of prices
simply doesn't make good sense.
Secretary Wallace declares that
American farms could be stepped
up to feed the world within a
year. He also declares that the
warning nations of the world can
supply their own food needs.
If the packers and grain dealers
try to raise prices, and the whole
salers try to help out by soaring
the retailers, and the retailers put
the bite on the consumers we'll
the consumer is a sap unless he
puts UP some passive resistance.
If he will tighten his belt a little,
prices will behave.
