Price Action Awaited.

CLEVELAND, April IA (P).-The
wage and price situation in the steel
industry will come to a head soon,
the magazine Steel predicts to-
day, and since one prominent in
dependent has raised wages 10 cents
per hour it is believed that the en-
tire industry must follow
Whether such action would bring
about higher base prices remains to
be seen" the review says, explain
ing:
To produce a ton of sheet steel
requires 80 man-hours. Assuming
the wage increase to be a fiat 10
cents, this alone would increase the
cost of making a ton of sheets So. 80.
A ton of pipe requires 81 man-hours,
ton of shapes or plates takes l6
man-hours, and a ton of tin plate
81 man-hours.
Advance Is Indicated.
The steel lndustry's recent earn
ings are not sufficient to alb
/ sorb the added labor and other
costs now in sight. and leave any
thing like fair return to investors"
the trade paper states. The 10-cents-
an-hour increase on 1910 pay rolls
would have cost s154 100000, COM
pared with S258000,000 net profit for
the % leading producers represent
ing more than 90 per cent Of ingot
capacity.
CONSUMERS are still being taken
care Of as to supplies. Some fin-
ished steel consumers have been
compelled to slow down operations
somewhat.
"A general priority system for
producers and warehouse distribu-
tors of nickel-bearing steel has been
adopted by the Office of Production
Management. Controls are more
intricate than on any other priority
item.
New Orders Lighter.
| Generally new business for both
mills and warehouses is in lighter
volume, which is decidedly welcome "
! Theoretical selling into the first
quarter Of 1912 has begun.
The national steel production late
last week was unchanged at SO per
cent. Steel production advanced in
the Cleveland area by 2l2 points to
9812 per cent of capacity, Buffalo 2
points to 9O12. Cincinnati p to "a.
Declines included Detroit. Is points
! TO 81, and New England, 2 to 20.
Unchanged were Pittsburgh, 102;

vania, SO; Wheeling, SO; Birming-
ham, 90; St. Louis, SO, and Youngs-
town, 81.

hired men there are are treated with tender solicitude.
 Friday and Saturday - those are the nights when the arsenal boys are likely to trot out Some- where for Q glass of beer, geine of cards, an evening of converse tion. "wednesday isn't bad. But there isn't much proving from spot to spot. Most of the fellows have their favorite haunts, stay there until they're ready to call 1t a night.
 Liveliest dancing drinking spot in the vicinity is just across the road from the roller skating rink. On Friday and Saturday nights the place is packed with 8 mix ture of roughly clad arsenalites and primped-up defense workers escorting local girl friends. But there is no disorder and the cou- ples are content to dance to juke-box music.

 Most of those who bunk in the barracks lead Q pretty simple life. Few of them leave the reserva- tion except on weekends, when they go into Ravenna or to their own homes. The clump of build- ings about half Q mile from the gate includes Q hospital, cafe teria, barber shop, supplies store, recreation room and bar where 3.2 beer is the most potent. bever- age served.

LEAGUE PREP ARES

Regular Party Leaders To
 Be Attacked On Legisla- tive Records

A reply to recent radio addresses by leaders of the Democratic and Republican Parties on the subject of the recent session of the General Assembly will be given by promi- nent Spokesmen for Labor'S Non- Partisan League in Connecticut Saturday night over station WT1C (and other stations from l0:S0 to Il p. m.

 It is expected that the League spokesmen will dwell at length on the failure of the General Assembly to take steps to solve the present housing shortage and high-rent problem in the State. During the last Session of the Legislature, the League championed 8 State Labor Relations Act, increased old Age As- sistance, more liberal Unemploy- ment Compensation payments, and for Legislation to safeguard the rights of Labor and of minority groups.

created by walking over the trails of the park. Beautiful scenes of the Hudson river, which washes Stony Point on several sides, and the beautiful surrounding Hudson High lands present pictures hard to de- scribe either with words or pictures. Best of all it provides short motor
 trip with all essentials for health building outdoor recreation in step with the present Defense Program of our Government to conserve gaso- line without denying to its citizens the right to enjoy.
 When ''Mad" Anthony Wayne stormed and captured Stony Point and captured its garrison and val- uable supplies, he did more than just win another battle. His victory instilled in the Americans of his day, the knowledge that despite overwhel- ming odds in favor of the enemy, both as to trained men and superior equipment, the Americans could win, because of their firm belief in the principles for which they were fighting and their willingness to sacrifice for these principles.
 The Museum in the park contains many priceless relics of these in- trepid Americans. It is open daily from a. m. to D. pl. The park and the battle-ground are open from sunrise to sunset. Parking facilities are provided in the vicinity of the caretakerS tablishment. Because of the nature of the grounds 1t is not possible to drive around the grounds.
 Stony Point Park and Battlefield is located a short distance east of Route U. s. 202 and U. s. 9W, about five miles south of the Bear Noun tain Bridge, now being operated by he New York State Bridge Authority with greatly reduced toll rates, and continue to the traffic circle located In a section of Bear Mountain (HarrimaIl) State Park, vast out door playground region.

.'HAMS' SURVEY CHANGES OPEN
 TO RADIO SPY
Equipment Not Expensive; Easy to Purchase Is
 Emphasized

Philadelphia, July IT - (UP)- Two of Philadelphia's most active licensed amateurs have presented statistics to show that a foreign power could establish formidable short-wave set-ups throughout the United States for as little as $40 each.
 Their conclusions are based on the condition that sufficient fifth columnists could be mobilized to operate the sets and that they would be able to elude the 24-hour surveillance which the Federal Com munications Commissions monitors or listening posts" now exercise over the air waves.
 Station Easy to Set Up Ernest Black and Frances Rice collaborated on @ set of figures to refute a popular impression that a short-wave station which the Fed- eral Bureau of Investigation seized in roundup of spy suspects was an elaborate and expensive array of instruments. According to these two persons, anyone with 8 rudi- mentary knowledge of radio could set up station capable of two-way communication with Berlin, Tokyo or Rome with the equipment pur- chasable at regular radio supply shops and l0-cent stores.
 Black and Miss Rice pointed out that, even with the EGGS new trucks and autos equipped to run down" bootleg stations--it takes some time to trace an unlicensed sender. A foreign government de- termined to maintain secret com- munications with an agent in the United States could afford to lose any number of $40 stations.
 Little Power Needed
 According to Black, a medium power of as low as 50 watts would suffice for the trans-oceanic send- ing and receiving sets. He says that amateurs have sent round the world with as little as 10 watts.
 Countering the danger of trans hitter setups operated by spies are nearly 60,000 American licensed amateurs who, with the commercial short-wave and police stations, CO., operate with the FOG. in detecting suspicious messages from unauthor- ized senders.
 A bootleg" transnaitter recently was seized in Peoria, Ill, sending code messages supposedly direct to Berlin. He proved to be an "over- brilliant" college student who want ed to see how much foreign agent could get away with. He was charged with violating the Com munications Act.

behave themselves. they're well come. We don't want any trou- ble, and we aren't going to have any. We don't need to stand for 1t. well just run them out of town."
 Which is just about the way everybody else in Ravenna feels about 1t. The citizens like to see new faces, but that doesn't neces- sarily mean they're going to turn over the keys to the town - no questions asked.
 Before last October, Police Chief Fred Renders and three pa trolmen kept things under con- trol. .Only one new patrolman has been added since then, and his chief duty Is to keep traffic mov- ing smoothly, especially when the arsenal workers roll back into town between 4:30 and 6:S0 every afternoon.

used as 8 government arsenal.
 And so, while the good burgh- CTS were still tacking up Rooms for Rent" signs in their front windows, the town began to swarm with new residents.
 Rayenna had suddenly become Q defense boom town.
 A cautious one, though. De- spite the fact that about 2500 of the 16,0o0 arsenal workers are bunking in RavenI1a, the town has kept its head about this new- found prosperity. The clink of change in cash registers along Main Street has become pleasantly loud- CT, but merchants refuse to become intoxicated by the prospect of quick and easy wealth.
 Three new taverns and 8 second movie house just about represent the extent of expansion in Ravenna. Neither gamblers nor camp follow CTS have provided problem for po- lice officials or Portage County au- thoritieS.
 BOOM IS JUST
 A DULL THITD
 As a matter of fact, to the cas- ual outsider, Ravenna's boom is just a dull thud. There is no dancing on the green, carousing in the streets. The town Is far from being wide open. There are no night clubs in the town proper and not more than half a dozen dancing places within 15 miles of Ravenna. The town ordinance which closes liquor palaces at II o'clock--1l:30 on Saturday - has not been relaxed.
 Biggest problem for new work CTS was finding place to live in. Every spare bedroom and attic has been rented out. One of the larger boarding houses hunks and feeds g arsenal workers. The landlady is just the least bit choosy about her boys" She can afford to be. Rumors of va cancy would bring an army of new applicants to her door.
 But as far as housing expansion is concerned, there just isn't any. One local contractor put up . 4ANC~4VOAA AAAVtVAA1 AA0OSC 0NGA3 eeA ter Uncle Sam moved in. He of- fered 1t for sale at $3900. For several months there were no takers.
 One Ravennan, now an arsenal worker, puts 1t this way: We're still Q little bit afraid of this thing. It looks good now, but we know 1t can't last forever-not the way it's going now. So when it's all over, we don't want to have too much of @ hangover"
 And dark, raw-boned, Lincoln esque Mayor Seth B. Sloan, who divides his time between admin istering the town and running his undertaking establishment, ex- tends @ friendly hand of welcome to newcomers, but that's as far as he'll go.
 we like to have these fellows come in here" says Mayor Sloan, "and if they want to come in and

 What greater urge can posses man than the desire to visit the places where American History had It's in- ception? To tread in reverence over the hallowed places where our fore- fathers, during the fight for In- dependence, fought so valiantly and sacrificed so freely for freedoms cause. What we are today, what good that we possess, we owe largely to them, who by their privations and bloodshed made the things of today possible. The suggestion that the notorist visit Stony Point Battlefield and the State Park created to preserve. this shrine for future generations of Americans, is an excellent one inasnuch as 1t serves many purposes. It will enable the American to tread in reverence over the hallowed places where anoter generation of Americans, by sweat and toll and blood, wrested from foreign oppresSor the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It provides the means of seeing many of the things that these early Americans lived with. Picnic groves and shelters are pro- vided for rest and meditation and for satisfying the healthy appetite
