Steel Output
Rolling Along
At Fast Pace
v. S. Production Now
al Rate Of IS Million
Tons a Year. Record
BY JAMES L. KILGALLEN

Ist1 News service starr CorresP"noem
NEW YORK, June 25.-Steel
production in the United States
is rolling along al fast pace.
Production the first half Of 1912,
4, was learned today at the Ameri-
can Iron and Steel institute, is
almost exactly 42.5000Q ions, or
al the rate OF $1,000, 1000 tons a
ycar--a record.
The previous record was some
what less than S3,000,000 tons In
1871. .
This year the steel industry OF
America probably will produce 30
per cent Of all the steel made IN
the world. il was said at the In
ktitute.
MILLS LACK SCRAP
Production OF IS, 900, 900 tons in
1912 will. however. be somewhat
less than the industry's capacity
to produce--the reason being the
lack Of scrap for the furnaces.
Japan was buying all the scrap
It could get prior 10 Pearl Harbor
During the eight years, 1888
through 1910, Japan took l1,4OO,-
600 tons OF scrap from the United
States. In the same period 22,6OO,-
600 tons were shipped to all for
eign countries, including Japan.
That means Japan got about one
half of our export of scrap.
Steel men Doint out that the
steel industry doesn't sell scrap
il buys il. They say that back in
1887 the industry was complain
ing to the state department and
other government agencies against
the exporting of scrap. But, at
that time, the state department
was striving to maintain friendly
relations with Japan.
PROMOTE COLLECTIONS
The steel industry is busy at
present promoting the collection
of scrap because pig iron and
scrap are the chief raw materials
for steel.
1t is just now announced that
the industry IL spending between
81. 500 900 and 100000 on an
advertising program for conserva-
ton of scrap. These advertise
ments are scheduled to appear in
July and will be keyed 10 the
governments salvage campaign
conducted through the bureau OF
industrial conservation and the
War Production Board.
Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito
will have hard time coping with
Americas steel production. Total
steelmaking capacity in the United
States is 100. 500,0 900 tons per year
more than double that which
can be produced by all Axis and
Axis-dominated countries.
AXIS CAPACITY
The United States, of course, is
the bulwark of the United Ma
tons combined steel plants with
a total capacity of SS.000.00 tons
per year. The British Empire has
a capacity of 1900. 900 tons, while
Russia can produce 1880, 900 tons
per year.
Germany, largest steel produc-
ing country in the Axis. had
capacity OF 2a.700,000 tons per
year. Japan can produce 7,200.0 900.
Italy's capacity was 5000, 900 tons
per year but has fallen of due to
lack of raw materials. France.
Belgium, Luxembourg. Czechoslo-
vakia. Poland and the other Axis
dominated countries of Europe
can produce about 26,1000 900 tons
per year, bringing total Axis
steelmaking capacity up to 61,-
000, 900 tons.

Congress Reported
Ready 10 Consider
Price-ControI Plea
President Said to Wont
Broad Power to Put
Ceilings on Wages
Py the Associated Press.

Py the Associated Press.
Congressional leaders today
promised speedy consideration
for any recommendations Pres
ident Roosevelt may make to link
wage stabilization authority to
complete price controls in the
fight against the rising cost Of
living.
Apparently authentic reports were
current that the President would ask
for broad and flexible authority to
put ceilings on wages and to clamp
down further on farm prices,
Senate Democratic Leader Barkley
said he did not know what form the
Presidents recommendation would
take or when they might be forth
coming, but he forecast favorable
consideration for any necessary leg
islation to round out the anti-infia-
ton program.
Want to Prevent Imitation.
"We are interested in preventing
imitation, just as the President is"
Senator Barkley told reporters, land
we will be here to act on any pro-
posais ne may lay before u.s."
From the Republican side, Senator
Vandenberg of Michigan said he, for
one, would welcome definite recon-
mendations to include wage controls
in the program.
ANY realistic plan that gears
wages to price control is desirable,
because the effectiveness of price
control is the only protection we
have against suicidal inf1ation-and
price control can't be effective If it
only goes part way" Senator Van
denberg declared.
Undecided on Message.
Some such linking of wages to
prices was reported to be the Presi-
dents idea, although he told his
press conference yesterday he had
not yet determined when any rec
concentrations would be sent to
Congress.
One official who asked not TO be
quoted by name said the admins
tration was determined to put q
check on farm price increases as
well as on wages, fearing that Price
Administrator Henderson would be
unable otherwise to ward of spiral
ing living costs. asa
Mr.. Henderson has been ham,
pered, it was said, by a congress
ional mandate that he cannot fix
farm-price ceilings below ITO per
cent parity returns on agriculture
products, level well above current
market quotations for some COM
modities. Parity is price calcu-
lated to give farmers returns equal
to those they obtained in past
favorable period, usually l909-l4.

Leaders Center Fight
For Tax Bill Changes
In Action Of Senate
Lower Corporate Levy,
Joint Returns Provision
Among Points at Issue
Es the Associated Press.

Apparently convince the
House would make no major
changes in the biggest tax bill in
the Nations history, administra-
ton leaders today centered their
revision hopes in the Senate.
As the House began the final day
of debate before voting on the So
IA 900 600 measure Monday. Chair
man George Of the Senate Finance
Committee indicated the Senate
contemplated major important mod
if1cations when he forecast a vote
in that chamber would not be taken
before late August or early Sep
tember.
Just what changes Senator George
and administration leaders had in
mind they would not disclose, but
after White House conference with
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Of the Treasury Morgenthau. the
Georgian said certain "inequities"
in the bill should be corrected to
bring the total expected yield up
to the Treasury goal of 50, ,700, ,0O0, 900.
Seen Headed for Change.
Speculation as to changes CEN
tered around House increases in cor
porate tax rates and return to the
| controversial mandatory joint in
come tax return for married couples.
The House Ways and Means Com
| mittee once approved the manda-
tory return principle but reversed
itself later.
Under House procedure, no
| amendments can be offered to the
bill except those proposed by the
committee, and committee members
said none but minor changes were
likely.
Impetus to renewed drive for
mandatory joint returns was given
In revelations by House Naval and
Military Affairs Committees of huge
fees made by agents for obtaining
war contracts. In some Of these
cases, it was charged, the fees we're
split among members of family
Would Recapture Gains.
Without mandatory joint returns,
Representative Cochran. Democrat,
of Missouri, told the House yester-
day, it would be difficult for the
Government to recapture much Of
this money.
Probably the only change the
House will have an opportunity to
vote on Monday will be proposal
by Representative Knutson, Repub-
lican, of Minnesota to raise the
excess profits tax and lower the
normal and Surtax on business. Mr..
Knutson has served notice he would
move to recommit the bill with in
structions to the Ways and Means
Committee to make the changes,
and on his motion the membership
will get a chance to vote.
Committee members saidAt the bill
would go through virtually as writ
ten, probably late Monday.
