Nickel Shortage Seen.

CLEVELAND, Feb. II LPl.-A short.
age of nickel, essential metal used
in armor plate and stainless steel
is a source Of concern to the in
dustry, the magazine Steel re-
ported today.
"A maker Of stainless steel sheets
promises delivery in 16 to l8 weeks,
with a clause eXempting him if un-
able to get nickel" the trade pub
lication said. More and more do
makers insist on showing of priority
slips from Washington before book
ing an order. Often such slip is
four or five stages removed and
has to be traced through prime
contractors and subcontractors."
1910 Used as Basis.
Several Steelmakers are taking
drastic steps to apportion steel
equitably" and some have declared
truce against incoming orders
from branch Offices for a time.
During the interim one important
fiat steelmaker is making careful
survey of 1910 shipments and will
restrict customers this year to the
tonnage they took then with due
allowance for increase in defense
orders
Individual steelmakers, the maga-
zine continued in its weekly re-
view, can do a more efficient job
of rationing, knowing more pre-
cisely the needs of consumers than
could Washington, it is still recog-
nized generally.
Supply situation becomes ever
tenser. though many well-informed
members of the industry believe that
this is the zero hour and that by
summer the confusion will have
given way to degree of calm"

In Current Week
Repairs on Furnaces
Blamed for Lowest

Bv the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-The Ma
tion's steel mills will cut operations
this week to 95.6 per cent of capac-
ity, the lowest rate of production
thus far in the year, the American
Iron & Steel Institute said today.
This represented a drop of 2.5
points from last weeks schedule. A
month ago output was at e6.6 per
cent of capacity and year ago CTS
per cent.
Trade quarters attributed the de-
cline primarily to furnace shut
downs to make repairs. Mills in
most instances have utilized every
available piece of steel-making
equipment to keep abreast Of a
deluge of domestic and foreign
orders. Such a driving pace, steel
men said, could not be kept up
indefinitely.
Production has also been inter
rupted by labor difficulties in steel
plants.

works at top-speed for three days.
