Republic Says Back
Pay Order Will Not
Cost $5,ooo,0O0
Reports on Fund to
Reinstute Workers
Held Exaggerated
BY the Associated Press.

JERSEY CITY, N. j., April TO-
T. M. Girdler, chairman of Repub-
lie Steel Corp, told stockholders at
the annual meeting today it would
not cost the corporation anything
like the $5,ooo.OoO reported to REIN
state 5000 c. I. o. strikers and re-
imburse them with back pay as the
National Labor Relations Board
directed.
tThe management has from the
termination of the strike in 1887
adhered to the policy Of reinstating
strikers as work was available" Mr..
Girdler said LAS a result many of
the strikers had already returned
to work at the time the Labor
Boards order was issued, and by far
the greater number of those who
filed applications for reinstatement
have returned to work.
mo serious unemployment prob
lem is involved in complying with
this part of the boards order"
The United States Supreme Court
this week refused to review the N.
L. r. B. order.
ut is not possible without future
study to state accurately the amount
of back wages the company will be
required to pay pursuant to the
boards order,' Mr.. Girdler added.
ut can be said with confidence, how
ever, that the amounts carried in the
newspapers were greatly exagger-
ated; that the amount ultimately
paid will not involve any serious
financial problem to the corpora
ton"
Refusal of the courts to alter the
Labor Board ruling will have no ef-
feet on Republics $7,500,0 suit
pending against the C. I. O., the
Steel Workers Organizing Commit
tee. and their officers, he asserted.
Commenting on the domestic busi-
ness outlook, the Republic president
said he hoped business would be
better in 1910 than in 1882"
whether business will improve or
get worse, we don't know" Giruler
declared. I'VE hope it will be bet
ter. That's all can say"
Republic currently is receiving new
orders in volume to support oper-
ations at so per cent of capacity, he
added.
Around so stockholders were pres
ent at the meeting, which was fea-
tured by several verbal tilts between
the Republican chairman and a
young minority stockholder, Miss
Anne Bliss Mcconnell of New York
City. Miss Mcconnell described
herself as "a member of the G. I. O.,
but not of the S. w. O. c."

European Battling Revives
u. S. Oil Speculation

TULSA, Apri! 10 R.-Heavy ac-
ton on European battle fronts re-
vived today the oil industry's spec
ulatlon regarding war demand.
So far, the war demand from the
United States has been mostly for
lube oils, disappointing some mar
ketmen who had expected to export
gasoline and crude oil heavily to fill
the battle tanks abroad.
Lack of demand was ascribed to
rationing of gasoline to civilian
populations and to the lack of
action in the air.
Now that sea and air maneuvers
have been accelerated, marketmen
watched the situation closely to see
what effect, if any, possible war
demand might have on this coun-
trys record breaking gasoline
stocks.

Reserve Board Feels
Business Is Ready
10 End Decline
Estimates Consumption
Is at Leust as Loree
As Production !
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Federal Reserve Board, esti-
mating that consumption Of Amer
ican factory products is cat least
as large" as production, limited to-
day that business is ready to end
its recent decline.
Making no fiat predictions, the
board in its monthly bulletin, dis
puted the notion held in some Gov
ernment quarters that business can
not pick up until present large in
ventories in the hands of manufac-
turers or wholesalers are sold. }
The board noted that its sea-
sonally adjusted index of industrial
production dropped from 1913 last
December to 105 in March. The
March figure was still points
higher than in the same month last
year and was to 4 points higher
than last July and August, when
last falls sensational pickup was
getting under way
The industrial showdown so far
this year has been explained gen.
orally as the result of production
outrunning consumption in the
feverish factory pace stimulated by
the war last fall. Business simply
slowed down to use up part of the
excess goods produced then.
AS an explanation of the indus
trial decline to date, the board ac-
cepted this theory, saying, ANY ap-
praisal of the present position must
take into account the possibility
that for a time production may be
below consumption, with some hqui-
dation of the inventories accumu-
lated earlier, when output was clear
ly IN excess of consumption"
Concerning the view that exist
ing inventories might postpone re-
covery indefinitely, the board con-
tinued: "At the same time due con-
sideration should be given to the
fact that inventory accumulation,
while rapid from September to the
early part of this year, extended
over only a short period; that in
lines where activity is being sus-
tanned at high levels the volume
of inventories required, including
goods in process, is larger than last
summer, and that during a period
like the present it may appear ad-
vantageous, in the case of some
commodities, to keep more inven-
tories than usual"
The board indicated that price
changes in the last year had exag-
gerated the apparent increase in
inventories. 1t pointed out, for
instance, that a Commerce De-
partment survey, showing that in
ventories at the end of January
were 7l2 per cent larger than a
year earlier, made no allowance for
the fact that prices were higher.
Thus, when measured by value,
the same physical amount of in
ventories today may appear larger
than year ago.
The board said business trends
had been divergent in many fields
and that some of the industries,
such as steel, which influence the
boards index most, had been hit
hardest, while other industries, such
as airplane and shipbuilding, which
have held or enhanced their gains,
do not affect the index.
