BY PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, April 18.-When
you take that swing around the Ma
tional Parks, which open soon, look
long at the hotels, lodges and SWIM
ming pools. They are privately
owned now But soon you may have
a personal interest IN them. Secre-
tary Ickes is planning to take them
over.
The Secretary can't do it without
consent of Congress, which has TO
put up about S30,000,000 to turn the
trick. but the House Public Lands
Committee is for having Ickes take
them over and run them. The idea
is that prices will be lowered Ickes
didn't commit himself ON that.
Maybe prices would be knocked
down, and maybe they would not.
But he thought the government
would do better job of running
the hotels than the private opera
tors
Il have been opposed and | am
opposed to the concession system"
he told the public lands committee.
Two bills will be presented to
give Congress the opportunity with
respect to two parks to wipe out
the eoncessionaire system. I do not
believe in it,"
The committee didls't stop with
the two bills covering Mt. McKin-
ley Park in Alaska and Mt. Rainier
in Washington but shaped up a
blanket order to give the Secretary
authority to put the whole works
under Government operation. Con-
gress has not acted yet, and there
is lot Of controversy over it, But
Ickes and the committee members
have injected an under-dog idea
into the business and it is hard

10 VOle against TIE ullucl-u
SAYS COSTS TOO HIGH
costs of going through the parks
are too high, says the Interior De-
partment. They buhd up their case
this way. Private concessionaires
have to make a profit on their oper-
alton. If the Government operates,
no profit is necessary.
Moreover most national parks
provide only a three or four month
season and a private operator has
to make a years profit on his IN
vestment in that period.
What won committee members
to the idea was the suggestion that
some Of the parks, when under
Government direction, would cater
more to the low-cost tourists. Pri-
vate operators have to cater to the
big money tourists, because that is
where the profit lies.
That went over big with the far
westerners.
zone of the reasons the public
has opposed establishing more parks
is because people get in there and
take all the concessions and make
huge private fortunes out of them.
said Representative O'Connor of
Montana.
"They don't, though. They nearly
all go busted" said Ickes.
Some private fortunes have been
made out Of park concessions" o.

Steel Rate 10 Drop
Is Points Because
Of Holiday
Institute Finds Activity
At 1877 Per Cent
For Current Week
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-The Ma
tons steel mills will trim operating
schedules to 1877 per cent of capac-
ity during the current week, the
American Iron and Steel Institute
estimated today.
The lower rate of production,
which was 1853 points less than 30
per cent last week, was due largely
to suspension of activity for the
Christmas holiday.
A month ago production was at
the rate of 94!4 per cent Of capacity
and a year ago at 1873 per cent.
CLEVELAND. Dec. 26 R.-The
new year probably will bring an in
crease In steel exports, says the
magazine Steel, but the recovery lis
thought likely to be moderate"
Nothing approaching the peak
volume of the l914-1918 period is
in early prospect" observes the pub
LEGATION. Expected heavy bookings
of war material by Canada may re-
quire stable steel purchases in the
United States to supplement Cana
dian capacity.
1.-The outlook for tine plate exports
has been dimmed somewhat by the
fact British mills have been able to
retain a large part of their world
markets despite the war"
Steel reports indications are that
the industry "has seen the peak in
operations for the present and will
be less crowded next quarter
Steel ingot production declined ~
points last week to 901z per cent Of
capacity-off 3l2 points from the
fall peak. A year ago operations
were of six points to So per
cent. The current pre-holiday de-
cline was unseasonally small.
Orders have shrunk further" says
Steel "Backlogs are declining, but
producers will carry over sufficient
tonnage into 1910 to assure rela-
lively brisk operations through at
least the first half of next period.
Untitled orders in a number of prod
ucts will absorb output into Feb
ruary, in a few cases through
March,"

Textile Mills Near
Capacity Marks in
Last Quarter
Strive to Fill Orders
Shaken Loose by
European War
BY JOHN L. BECKLEY,
Associated Press Statistician.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Textile
mills are at near capacity levels
in the final quarter of 1899, striving
to fill the landslide of orders shaken
loose by the war.
Cotton consumption for the full
year is expected to total some
7,25OO00 bales, q per cent greater
than in 1888 and exceeded only by
the record consumption Of 7,418,000
bales in 1887.
Most cotton mills were already
fairly busy when the war broke out,
and vigorous demand from dealers
and retailers with low inventories
pushed production Of the industry
as whole close to the limit of
two-shift capacity.
Some trade authorities expect a
tapering off in cotton manufactur-
ing during the first quarter of
1910, as stocks all along the line
are brought up to desired levels.
Backlogs of untitled orders are
larger than a year ago, however,
and are believed to be sufficient to
assure good level Of operations.
A good year in the mems clothing
field doomed wool manufacturing
in 1899, and the fall buying rush
forced many mills to run at full
tilt. Consumption of apparel and
carpet wool will reach approx
mately 4OO,OOOOOO pounds, the larg-
est amount in Is years except for
1885, when 418,00O,OOO pounds were
used.
The industry moves into 1910
travelling at fast pace, but the
future is Swallowed by dwindling
stocks of raw wool. Despite assur-
ances from Great Britain that large
amounts of Australian wool will be
released to American manufacturers,
some in the trade fear that shortages
will soon develop in those grades
which are in greatest demand for
military purposes.
The rayon industry continued to
grow like beanstalk, favored by
high price for silk and the develop
ment of new hbers and fabrics.
Consumption is reaching a new
record estimated at 450,000,000
pounds. compared with the previous
record of 327,OOO,00O last year.
Only silk consumption declined, as
Japans small export crop boosted
the price of raw silk at New York
as high as $3.50 apound, more than
double the low point of last year.
The amount of silk used in 1899 will
come to only about 100000 bales,
compared with $4,000 bales the pre-
vious year and 100000 bales in 1929.
