The mouth of the gully opened

The turn came, almost flung IT

their strainine mounts up the
sharp incline, as mounts and rid

NEW YORK R-The steel mills
are finally getting back into full
production. And the government is
still trying today to pick up the
pieces of the costly strike.
Steel prices are officially raised
today - as the strike settlement
nearly a month ago provided.
And steel users get permission
today to buy steel still more ex-
pensive way if they need it badly.
This conversion steel will cost
them even more than the new high
prices formally approved by the
Office of Price Sterilization. But
buyers of conversion steel won't
have to charge it off to the regular
quota the government allots them.
The aim is to end as quickly.
as possible the unemployment in
industries like auto making where
the steel shortage still pinches.
Conversion steel gets its name
from the way it is purchased and
finished. For example, an auto
maker can now buy steel in ingot
form from a steel mill and ship
the ingots to other fabricating mills
where it can be made into the
sheet or other steel products that
the auto maker needs.
All of this handling is costly. But
the auto maker may not want to
wait until the original steel maker
could fabricate the ingots into bars
and sheets especially if it has
a long waiting list for finished steel
products.
To wait for this steel TO arrive
from his usual supplier might mean
the auto makers plant is shut down
in the meantime. And so he finds
il cheaper to pay more to have
steel converted into finished prod
ucts at some other mill whose
schedule permits speedier han
ding. The government is giving
its blessing now to this practice.
Steel production this week will
top two million tons for the first
time since before the strike.
The effects Of the strike on the
economy will show up for some
time, as spot shortages Of various
finished steel products hamper pro
duction in the industries using steel
or steel parts in their products.
But many observers are now say
ing that the effects of the strike
on production won't be as pro
nounced as first feared.
Some doubt if arms production
was badly hampered They qtes

The breech closed once more and
he lined the barrel across the top
OF the boulder again, shifting q
booted foot to more comfortable
position.
The first rider shot into view, q
heavy-haired though clean-shav-
en- outlaw who must have been
a very tall man. Montana aimed
swiftly and low. four feet below
the dot that was a freshly shaven
face. and squeezed the trigger.
He hated to shoot the horse. No
man likes to kill good horse. But
there was no other way out. So
Montana shot the horse with the
1855. AS the gun recoiled sharply
against Montana's shoulder the
brute went down head first. struck
somewhere around the shoulders
and chest, and the tall rider
somersaulted from its back. He
rose to his feet staggering, the
white that had been his face now
dirt-covered dot fast turning red
from contact with the ground.
More riders had come in and one
Of them bent down in the saddle.

tall man, halfway up, fell back.
He rolled over, started to rise, and
then went over to lie face down
without moving. Twice more the

curacy The lone man back Of the
boulder fired fast but coolly. On his
face was the same lack of emotion
that had been there the night Nc
