amount involved as compared with
the amount which the Government
is spending in defense is insignifl-
cant"
He challenged estimates that the
raise would cost the industry as
much as $3.50, 100000 a year.
THE total cost to the industry as
a whole, according to our estimates,
will not exceed S135, 900, ,0O0," he de-
clared.
Weir felt that his firm will alb
sorb the raise with taxes as we
see them today"
Earnings Improve
Our first quarter will show bet
ter earnings than the corresponding
period last year." he said.
IF taxes go up," Weir declared,
there is no reason why steel should
expect to make more profit. I'm
not one to increase prices to over
come taxes. The industry can't ex-
pect TO have its earnings offset
taxes"
While Weir considered the posi-
bility of coal wage raise in his ex-
pectations of better earnings, he
saw serious danger" if the mine
stoppage continues.
In another week this situation will
be serious" he said. If coal deliv-
cries are not resumed steel produc-
ton is bound to be impaired"

Weir Says Results
Should Solve Steel
Price Question
Second Quarters Nets
Will Give Picture,
He Declares

PITTSBURGH, April 2l.-Ernest
T. Weir. head OF the National Steel
Corp, which took the lead in grant,
ing a 10-cent hourly increase to steel
workers, said today the industry
should let second quarter facts"
decide whether a steel price rise
would be necessary to meet higher
production costs.
1T is my opinion that the indus
try should take the second quarter
of 1941 when the higher costs will
be effective and let the financial
results demonstrate what its posi-
ton is" Weir said at a general
press interview and added:
1T won't hurt the industry to
take three months to produce facts"
Leon Henderson, Government price
administrator, on April II 'froze"
steel prices at first quarter levels,
but said the price schedule would be
subject to later revision.
Holds Wait Necessary.
Weir, ruddy-faced chairman of
the Nations sixth largest steel
producer, asserted:
mo one can say definitely at this
time whether the industry can or
cannot get along without a price
increase"
Weir said he was in accord with
Henderson if Il interpret his state
ments to mean that a waiting period
will precede any action on steel
prices"
ct would assume that the Govern
ment is not disposed to see the
industry operate without profit
nor to see any company put out of
business because of higher COSTS"
he added.
There are no facts available to-
day on which the industry, the Gov
ernment or the public can deter
mine the necessity of price change
now" he said. THE facts will be
definite by mid-July, applicable to
the industry, large and small.
Weir declared that his opinion
"precludes the possibility of price
rise in the second quarter"
Explains Wage Stand.
He also explained his firms posi-
ton in granting the raise in wages
as the U. S. Steel Corp. was nego-
tiating with the c. I. o. Steel Work.
ers' Organizing Committee on new
contract. U. S. Steel ultimately fol-
lowed Nationals lead in granting
the raise.
1T has been said that we acted
because o ia grudge against the
corporation, Weir said. There is
nothing to that National Steel
does not handle its business on a
grudge basis. No company could
and remain In business long.
1--WE simply believed that our en-
ployes are entitled to a raise of
nothing less than 10 cents an hour.
There was a improvement in the
industry and we felt the workers
should share In 1t.

Textile Production
Al New AN-Time
Peak in Quarter
Output Far Ahead
Of 1910; Further
Goins Forecast
Special Dispatch to The Star.

CpSS4aA OlSpdtSu W 4uc oval.
NEW YORK, April 21.-The all
time record of textile mill activity
which took two successive boosts in
the years 1899 and 1910, is in for
further and far more drastic sky
rocketing in 1941, if the first quarter
OF the present year is fair sample.
That is the story revealed by Textile
Worlds index. Commenting on that
index, Douglas G. Woolf, editor of
the publication, states:
Here, briefly, are the figures in
the case: The output for the first
quarter Of 1941, based on raw ma
terial consumption. was 25 per cent
above that for the first quarter
of 1910, IS per cent above that for
the first quarter of 1899 and rs per
cent above that for the first quarter
of an assumed normal year.
IF the flrst-quarter rate of &C
tivity is maintained for the balance
of the year, Textile Worlds index
of textile mill activity (based on
1923-25 as 100 will reach the amaz-
ing figure of IT'S, as compared with
the two previous highs of 1872 and
142 for 1889 and 1910. respectively.
Under normal conditions, the
aforementioned if would be a big
one. Past performance would
promise a sad drop before the year
is through But this year, the
setting is different. Untitled de-
fense orders are still keeping the
mills busy.
Further defense orders in pros
pect at the start of the new fiscal
year July l, even if the national
does not become more
intense, may take up the slack, if
any. The further possibility of a
sharp increase in the armed forces,
all demanding clothing and equip
age, makes the if any a realistic
phrase. Add to that the increasing
call for civilian textiles, due again
to the boosting effect of the defense
program upon national purchasing
and the sum total is some
thing to think about.
There is no guarantee attached
to the continuation of the index
figure of ITS throughout the cal
endar year. But even if it misses
that mark, the probability of a new
textile mill activity record in 1941,
surprising the previous highs of
1889 and 1910, is almost a certainty"
