Consumption Of SteeI, ,

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-With De-
cember consumption estimated at
3,805 900 tons, q slight seasonal de-
cline from November, domestic con-
sumption Of iron and steel scrap In
steel mills and foundries in 1899 Is
estimated at $4,000, 900 tons by the
Institute of Scrap Iron & Steel, Inc,
New York.
This total compares with only a.
528, 900 tons in 1898, and with the
record total Of 81, ,006, ,272 tons melted
In 1897.
This scrap was consumed In the
manufacture Of new iron and steel
for all purposes, In equal proportions
with pig iron. It is estimated by
the institute that the use of 35,000,-
900 tons of scrap in 1889 conserved
almost 175,0O0,000 tons Of iron ore,
coal, limestone and other natural
resources.
Exports Of iron and steel scrap
have declined sharply due to lack Of
vessel space. The November move
ment Of 272,656 tons was less than
the 336. IT'S tons Of October. and the
273. .403 tons Of November, 1898.

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-Aircrafts
led a highly selective rally in to-
days stock market.
Erratic tendencies of steels was q
chilling factor and early gains
running to a point or more were
pared or erased in many cases at
the close.
United States Steel and Bethle-
hem slipped at the start, turned
around for modest advances and
then backed away again.
Commonwealth e. Southern turned
over in blocks of 5000 to 28,5OO
shares, unchanged at 11s. This
helped push the markets volume
to around 650,000 shares for the
five hours. Most of the activity was
on the upside with the ticker tape
loaflng in reactionary intervals.
Some buyers stepped in on the be-
lief the market had retreated far
enough for the time being. Then,
too, while fears of a sizable business
recession still engendered bearish- "a
ness, constructive interpretations
were placed on scattered industrial
news items.

Fisk Officer Reports
Assets Transferred
To u. ). Rubber
Announcement Made
As Holders Vote on
Dissolution Plan
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
WILMINGTON, DEL, Jan. 19.-An
official of the Fisk Rubber Corp. an
nounced today, as stockholders
voted whether to dissolve the $14,-
600, 900 concern, that the corpora
tion's property and assets had been
transferred to the U. S. Rubber Co.
The transfer consummates the
purchase of Fisk by U. S. Rubber,
authorized by Fisk stockholders at
q meeting here December 20.
Kurt r. Vogel, secretary of the
Fisk Corp, said that U. S. Rubber
has paid over to Fisk cash and stock
valued at about $11,227 ,330-the
authorized purchase price-and has
taken control of Fisk properties.
Oficial inspectors began counting
proxies at second stockholders
meeting today to determine whether
Fisk can dissolve and distribute to
its stockholders the money and
stock received for the sale. The
corporation will continue to exist in
name and on stock lists until this
distribution has been completed.
Whitfield Reed, attorney for q
minority stockholders group op-
posed to the sale. appeared to voice
objections to dissolution of Fisk
and fled proxies he hoped would
block this action. At the De-
cember. 20 meeting he succeeded in
blocking dissolution and forcing
another vote.
A two-thirds vote is required. The
Fisk management mustered 63 per
cent, of the corporations stock
holders in favor of the sale, but
this was insufficient to sanction
dissolution.
Meanwhile the Fisk corporation
was ordered by Federal Judge Fran
els ]. w. Ford In Boston to show
cause January % why an injunc-
ton should not be issued against
the sale.
Tive Fisk stockholders, Roland
and Cabria Lavallee of Northamp-
ton, Mass, contended that the sale
was a merger in violation Of anti
trust laws.

Against them is the record of
Jacob and the people of Jacob,
deeper in sympathies, broader in
insight, and truer in understand
ing. Land where my fathers
lived" is the theme of every ma
tional sentiment. Attachment to
ones place of residence and fami-

lest and m o S t necessary senti-
ments to mankind. The familiar
dialect or language of the neigh
borhood is one of the most uphold
ing virtues.
ZiOnism, and Jewish interest in
Palestine, builds around the strong
national sentiment its attachment
to place of ones own, its vener-
alton of the language by which we
communicate with friends, it's Gre
ative hopes of national stability
and a cultural natiOnalism ground

Thy name shall be Israel :.
and the land which 1 gave to Alb
raham and Isaac, to thee and thy
seed will 1 give it :" Genesis
S2-S7; p Vayishlach)
Jacob returned to the land of
his fathers, to the country of his
own boyhood and childhood. Again
ne was home, in the loved scenes
TO which he was attached, and
which was promised to him and
his heirs as their home.
Strange adventures and mishaps
had been his lot, in the years of
absence. Nor were they all ended.
He had been reunited with his
brother after an absence of over
twenty years. This reunion had
worried him, and Jacob relied upon
prayer, upon appeasement of his
brother by lavish gifts, and upon
a readiness (if necessary to meet
force with force. The gifts were
also necessary as a pledge to his
brother that he was financially in
dependent and that he would not
become a burden or charge upon
the estranged brother. In the dark,
Jacob had wrestled with fate and
wrested blessings: as each of us
must do alone with fate.
But now again, he was on the
soil he loved, in the surroundings
that he cherished and of which he
dreamed. Whatever untoward cir
cumstance might come, he had the
cheering comfort of being on his
own soil and amid his own people.
On that soil, he was no stranger.
He knew it's language and it's GUS
toms. He found opportunity to
exercise those sentiments and at
tachments which are so important
for all normal people. A n d this
brings illumination upon recent
sad occurrences of the war.
Of all the most intOlerable and
horrible things of this war which
has known SO many horrible ones,
think of the forced removal of
hundreds of families from their
ancestral homes and the land of
their fathers. We can understand
physical suffering, and turn at the
sight of blood. Far more ruinOus,
however, is likely to be the emo
tiOnaI torture and the mental dis
treSS where no physical suffering
is present.
Thousands of peoples have been
uprooted from their homes, driven
away at short notice from the soil
to which they were attached and
around which grew their deepest
sentiments. At short notice, and
without their belongings, thous-
ands of families have been sud-
denly expelled from areas where
their parents and mily
were buried, from streets that
were sacred in their very familiar
ity, from languages that were their
priceless own, and made at the
point of the sword to seek new
homes in far-off lands.
In nothing that they have done,
have the present cOnquerOrs shown
their contempt for life and their
utter disregard for human values.
What makes this horrible, is that
not even the brutality of bombs
and killings show how cheap they
consider life. Pulled away fOrcibly
from the homes around which clus-
ter noble sentiments and childhood
memories deprived of friends and
neighbOrs of long standing, forced
away from their simple possess

RABBI FREEDMAN ADDRESSES

Guest speaker last Friday night
was Rabbi Samuel friedman of
Philadelphia who addressed a
large congregation of about 300.
Rabbi friedman pointed out the
great role American Jewry is
playing in maintaining the desti-
tute Jews Of Europe and COM
mended the communities through
out the United States whose sac
rifice on behalf of their brethren
he said will go down in history,
while the wars and conquests of
dictators will be forgotten"
Then Rabbi Friedman spoke
about the Seminary which is now
taking the place of the many Ye-
shivaS that were destroyed in
countries of Europe. The Semina-
ry has become the greatest in
stitution of Jewish learning in the
world, he said, and urged those in
the audience to learn about the
work it is doing. The Seminary,
he said, is not only training Rab-
bis, but is enlightening Catholic
and Protestant priests over the
fundamentals of the Jewish relig-
ion. These non-Jewish clergymen
attend courses at the Seminary
under the Inter UNCONVENTIONAL
Conference sponsorship.
The library maintained by the
Jewish Theological Seminary con-
tains some of the most valuable
manuscripts of old texts, and rel
les from great synagogues of Eu-
rope, shipped to the United States
when the invasion of those coun-
tries by the Nazi army was seen
impending.
The guest speaker was honored
with a reception in the auditor
ium following the service.
