DISCOURAGING OUTLOOK.

The following statement was issued
Monday night by Benjamin F. Fairless
President, United States Steel Cor
poration:
The present strike in the coal mines
of United States Steel Corporation
subsidiaries makes necessary substan-
tial reductions in our steel producing
operations In the Pittsburgh and
Youngstown districts subsidiaries will
be obliged to reduce steel operations
by reason Of lack of coal from capacity
to approximately eighty percent, be-
ginning tomorrow, Tuesday, October
%. This immediate reduction is due
to the fact that fifteen percent to
twenty percent of the coke used by our
Pittsburgh and youngstown mills Is
produced by beehive coke ovens which
are dependent upon a constant supply
of coal. Since there are no facilities
for stocking coal at beehive ovens, the
production is Immediately affected by
the strike.
Unless work in our coal mines is
Immediately resumed, this reduced rate
of steel operations in the Pittsburgh
and youngstown districts will continue
for approximately one week, after
which time steel-producing operations
in these districts can continue at a
gradually diminishing rate for further
period of only about one week.
Beginning tomorrow morning steel
operations of United States Steel Cor
poration subsidiaries in the Chicago
district will be reduced because of
lack of available coal from capacity
to approximately ninety percent. With
present stocks, this reduced rate can
be continued for only one week, and
thereafter at a gradually diminishing
rate for further period of only about
seven days, when steel operations
must cease.
In the Cleveland and Lorain dis
tricts operations of our subsidiaries
will be continued at full capacity for
two weeks following which there must
be an orderly gradual reduction Of
steel production due to lack of coal.
Approximately ten days later a COM
plete shut down of our steel opera
tons in these districts must be anti
cipated.
In the Birmingham areas our SUBJ
salaries have sufficient coal and coke
on hand for approximately four weeks
Of full operations, after which time
steel operations must be gradually re-
duced until complete exhaustion of
present stock.
Conditions similar to those in the
Birmingham area prevail at our west
coast steel mills.
The coal strike of last spring and
last month prevented the accumulation
of coal reserves sufficient to maintain
higher operations than those stated
above.

w. P. A. RAISES WAGES.

Final instructions have been received
from Washington for application in
Minnesota of the $500 monthly wage
increase for WPA workers, effective
with all pay periods beginning on or
after November /, S. L. Stolte, state
WPA administrator, announced today.
The increase, Mr.. Stolte said, will
affect 29,289 workers in the state. The
present average labor cost to employ
a WPA worker in Minnesota, consider
ing the various classificationS of work,
is S6O37. The $500 raise will be
given all but professional and techni-
cal classification of workers. This
group will receive an increase of $500
per month.
Because Minnesota pays its WPA
workers on four-week fiscal basis
the $500 monthly raise will be equal
to $3.50 for this four-week period, or
an increase of $40 per two-week pay
period. Professional and technical
workers, on that basis, will realize a
$3.50 increase for a four-week pay
period, Mr.. Stolte pointed out.
For example, in Hennepin Ramsey
and st. Louis counties the present
unskilled GA" rate is $3.50 per four
week fiscal period. The new rate will
be $3.50. In counties having no town
with population of more than 5000
the present unskilled GA" rate is
$3.50 per four-week fiscal period and
the new rate will be $4440.
"This new increase" Mr.. Stolte said
"does not change the basic schedule
of earnings previously established but
provides for additional payment OF
wages during the present emergency to
assist in meeting the increased cost
of living"
Mr.. Stolte pointed out that the
increase does not apply to project
wage employees assigned to work in
excess of 100 hours per four-week
period on certified national defense
projects where earnings have been
raised in proportion to the increased
hours. The order also does not apply
to men on WPA who are receiving in
plant training where rates of pay are
established on plant basis.

The 1899 Neutrality act and its pro-
visions are much in the news this
week and likely will continue so for
another week or two. Most of the
discussion centers around three sections
of the bill, but actually it includes 20
sections, and a brief resume of their
provisions might be helpful in follow
ing the discussion. Those provisions
are:
Preamble United States,
in order to remain neutral, voluntar-
lily restricts its nationals but thereby
valves no rights and reserves right to
repeal such restrictions.
Section Whenever u. S. security
or peace requires, President shall pro-
claim state of war existing and name
belligerents therein.
Section prohibits American flag
ships carrying passengers or materials
to belligerent states and prohibits eX-
port of any material to such states
unless title to the material is trans
ferred before it leaves our shores
("carry" part of "cash and carry'0.
Section 3-Authorizes President to
define combat areas and prohibits u.
S. ships or nationals travelling in such
areas.
= Section 4-Exempts Red Cross ships
under safe conduct from Section 2.
Section 5-Forbids u. S. nationals
travelling on vessels of belligerents.
Section 6-Prohibits arming of U.
S. merchant ships after proclamation
isuued under Section 1.
Section prohibits U. S. persons or
corporations loaning money to bellig-
erents Ccash" part of "cash and
