BY E. E. EDGAR

STYLE-Samuel Goldwyn once
quarreled with his ghost writer
and hired another. The new
writer decided to eliminate the
Goldwynisms employed by his
predecessor.
His first article was . model
of English composition. It was
Goldwyn the scholar writing; elo-
quent and learned, his language
polished and impeccable.
Goldwyn took one look at it
and fired the man.
Whats wrong?" asked the
other. Don't you like my writ
ing?"
You're a fine writer" Gold
wyn assured him, 'but you
haven't captured my literary
style"

Early in the second half, the
home teams quarterback made

the head Of the safety man.
AS the latter dashed after the
ball, Griffith turned to his friend

Steel Makers Enjoy
One Of Best Years
Despite Pessimism
By John Moody
Assoeiaied Pros, Finuneioi wilma

<-s1s-t~-tN-- Ntt-e ttst.4-f~ ~ Vs.
PITTSBURGH. Jan. 1.-THE
Nations steel producers talked
about declining demand and
keen competition all during
1854. Still they enjoyed one Of
the nine best production years In
history.
Compared with 1855 record
III. 609.7ls tons of steel and the
resulting profits. however. the
steel industry Jared badly last
year.
Production Is estimated at So
million tons---an estimated rs
inillion-ton drop. Earnings.
based on the first nine months,
were on about 20 per cent.
Customers who bought wildly
during the Korean war stopped
ordering and began using huge
stockpiles. Defense buying also
took q big dip.
Pay Raise Negotiated.
On the labor front q i2-cent
hourly pay package increase was
awarded to an estimated Ia
million under contracts the in
dustry signed with the clio
United Steelworkers.
The pay raise gave workers q
scent hourly pay increase and
improved pensions and insur-
ance, The average pay now Is
between $2.1g and 1929.
To offset the added costs. steel
producers raised the price of steel
an average s. q ton. putting q
$l23-a-ton price tag on basic
carbon teel---the cheapest grade.
BENJAMIN F. Fairless. chair
man of United States Steel Corp.
referred to the pessimistic talk
which prevailed through the year
by saying:
During the year we have
come through what has undoubt-
eddy been the most widely adver-
tised and the most highly over
rated recession that this Nation
has ever experienced"
Tonnage Figures Cited.
Tonnage figures which topped
100 per cent of capacity three
months in 1858, sagged to 629
per cent last July. Only once
In. january did the figure rise
above rs per cent. In the first
nine months.
It must be remembered. though,
that the nlulti-million dollar ex-
pansion program started Just aft
err World War II, increased the
Nations estimated steel-making
capacity by 6,782.940 tons last
year. So percentage figures don't
tell the whole story.
Only eight times has steel pro-
duction passed the 85-million
mark. The years were 1912.
1943. 1914, l948 and the past
four years 1850 through 1858.
A report on earnings by 81 Of
the biggest producers shows net
Of $3.50, AK, 900 for the first
nine months Of 1854, compared
with e4,899. 90S,000 for the same
period Of 1858.
Despite the earnings drop. It
was q pleasant surprise to many
financial circles which have
stoutly maintained the industry
could not operate below 10 per
cent of capacity and show q !
profit.
The estimated production for
the first nine months was 69.l
per cent Of capacity.

Spring Arrives Wet and Chilly,
Cheering Hurried Farmers

in the midst of another growing
season without enough water.
Last summer. the lack of water
drove some local farmers out Of
business.
Encouraging figures from the
Weather Bureau show that Feb
ruary and March were wetter
than usual. The deficiency in the
years total to date comes from a
dry January. Crops that are not
growing in January still rely on
the overall rainfall to maintain
the water table.
To date in March, the rainfall
has totaled ESQ inches. This Is
.83 inches above normal.
Good News for Farmer
February precipitation totaled
3.13 inches, IA above normal.
That is good news for the farmer.
But January is a different story.
The whole month logged only 81
inches of rain. That is 2,93
inches below normal.
The cumulative lack of water
last year turned crops and lawns
brown and made miserable the
lives of cattle raisers. Pastures
withered under the burning sun
and dry winds. leaving cattle
raisers to feed the animals on
food set aside for the winter or
sell. If they sold, the cattlemen
faced a declining market.
