She saved every one of his letters and even numbered them. Beethoven in his off moments prac- ticed a little sly humor.

The manuscripts run the gamut through the older classics written by Leoncavalla, Puccini, Liszt, Wagner, down to Cesar Frank, Stravinsky and to our own time with Deems Taylor's | “Through the Looking Glass,” which has been written out so carefully that the manuscript resembles print. LOCK-PICKING ENABLES | MAN TO ASSUME OFFICE | Establishes Himself as Assistant Attorney General, Ousting | Predecessor. By the Assoclated Press. 3 ST. PAUL, January 6.—By using car- | penters and locksmiths during the | night, J. A, Poirler Wednesday estab- | lished himself as assistant attorney gen- eral to succeed H. M. Feroe, who re- fused to obey an ouster order by H. H. Peterson, attorney general-elect. Feroe, the office door locked against | him and his papers and other belong- | ings stacked outside, charged Poirier with “usurping” his office and said he ‘would take legal steps to establish his claim. ' Peterson said he approved of Poirfer’s action. Feroe, one of 25 employes dismissed last week by Peterson, asserted he was | not subject to removal and had been appointed without term. He is a Re- Ppublican, while Peterson and Poirier are Farmer-Laborites. Peterson appointed Poirier as Feroe's successor. Poirier said he and his corps of help- ers entered Feroe’s office Tuesday night, replaced the lock, moved Feroe's pos- Sessions into a nearby corridor, and moved his own papers and books in. ‘The winner of the fourteenth annual State high school music contest in the violin event at Greensboro, N.

America’s steel industry, BY MERWIN H. BROWNE. Imports to the United States of iron at an already badly crippled STAR, WASHINGTON, from the depression, losing $120,000,000 a year and operating at only 18 per | cent capacity, todey is facing cut-throat competition from abroad. Tariff Laws Nullified. According to testimony in the files of the Treasury Department’s Customs Bureau, American steel manufacturers are watching foreign fabricators in both gold and non-gold standard countries nullify the American tariff laws in landing their products here, duty paid, at prices lower than the American cost of production. Among the countries regarded as on Belgium, France and Germany, while | the depreciated currency countries | whose products are bringing enforced {dleness to American workmen are the | United Kingdom, British India and Japan. During the first six months of 1932 foreign imports of steel to the United | States totaled 205,152 tons. American manufacturers estimate that if the last | six months’ imports duplicate those of | | the first six, more than 410,304 tons of | suffering | foreign steel will be imported, and this | celve $18 a ton for this product. D. C., FRIDAY, will mean that 444,700 American work- men lost a week's work. Steel Shapes Imported. During 1931 about 73,320 tons of structural shapes were imported from foreign countries. These shapes, which American fabricators sell in atlantic Coast territory for $40 a ton, were sold by the foreign manufacturers, with duty of $4 a ton paid, at from $20 to $22 a ton. If this steel had been manufactured and sold in America, domestic manu- facturers claim, it would have meant half-time work for nearly 5,000 men in the Bethlehem Steel Co.’s plants in Philadelphia and Baltimore Even the producers of pig iron in Massachusetts, New York and Pennsyl- vania have felt the slash of foreign | competition. During the first half of 1931 domestic shipments from furnaces in these States totaled 405,597 tons, | while importations totaled 43,958 tons During the first half of 1932 domestic shipments had dropped to 152,934 tons, while the imports of the foreign pig iron had increased to 68,814 tons In normal times these producers re- Pig JANUARY 6, 1933. iron from the Netherlan oducers claim, is being offered f:l"‘lf; a ton, f. 0. b. New York or Boston. Even the scrap iron and steel indus- try is feeling the effects of the foreign competition. The records do not show that the United States is importing scrap iron, but the scrap iron industry, whose product is principally used in the manufacture of steel in the United States, is suffering because of the dumping of finished steel. ‘The scrap iron and steel industry claims that the importation of foreign steel in 1931 prevented the use of 400,000 tons of scrap, which would have pro- vided one week's work for 50,000 men. Hit by Russia Imports. An allied industry, engaged in the | production of manganese and an infant industry in the United States, has been brought to its knees through the im- importation of Russian manganese. According to testimony in the files | of the customs bureau, American man- | ganese mines are fllling with water, | and mine structures-are rotting because the foreign product, landed here at a | cost of $22 a ton, including a duty of | $11.20, sells under the' American pro- | duction cost of $30 a ton. Although the Treasu Department has authorized its l.rez:ts to cease appraisals of Soviet manganese arriv- at American ports, which has the effect of keeping that product off the American market until a dumping in- | vestigation can be completed, imports | of Soviet ese during the first | six months of 1932 totaled 97,000 tons. | is approximately half of the present American consumption of 200,000 tons a year, and American pro- ducers claim that, since their peak | production equals this latter quantity, they could supply the American demand if freed from Russian competition.
