On Operating Rate Of

By the Associated Press.

BY Inc hSSOCldltQ fIcSos
NEW YORK, May 25-The steel
industry this week will equal the
peak production record of two weeks
ago with an output of 1851 300 tons
with mills operating at an average
of 99.6 per cent of capacity. the
American Iron & Steel Institute
estimated today.
Last weeks operations were 90 2
per cent with production at 1885,
600 tons, and month ago output
was 1,674,000 tons with operations at
$50 per cent.
pacity, the industry turned out l.
591 900 tons of steel operating at
986 per cent.

there would be no slackening of op-

the Decoration Day holiday.
CLEVELAND, May Is (R.-Con-
sumerS of steel sheets are making
further progress in conversion to
war work and orders involve heavier
tonnages and cover a more extended
period with the trend to higher rat
ings, the magazine Steel reported
today.
Sheets are required for many
war applications, including ammu-
milton cases, bomb components,
bomb crates. mess equipment and
tool boxes for the armed forces"
the trade publication explained.
Much goes into Signal Corps equip
ment, especially into cabinets for
radios"
The magazine also noted fabrica-
ton of war goods apparently is not
yielding as much scrap as normal
civilian use, since supply of in
dustrial scrap from processing of
the unprecedented tonnage of fin
ished steel now being produced is
not keeping pace" but that short
age of labor for preparing scrap in
yards is causing delay in some in
stances. Floodlights have been in
stalled in many preparation yards
where sufficient labor is available
for a second shift. Buffalo interests
estimate scrap movement this year
at IS per cent above the same period
In 1941."
Steel said while production and
shipment of steel are at an un-
precedented rate, with records
being made constantly, demand is
outrunning best efforts of the in
dustry and war requirements are
crowding out practically everything
else" with plates, for example, "en-
tirely on an ALLEGATION basis"
