STEEL EPANSON AT 100 LN New Equipment Ordered to Meet Growing Market of Industry. By the Associated Press. CLEVELAND, December 17.—A $100,000,000 program of new equip- ment is today’s answer of the steel industry to the contention five years ago that it was then already far over- built. ‘The biggest item in the program of new steel mill equipment is that of the United States Steel Corp., which has pledged $40,000,000 worth of mod- ernization in the coming year. Another $19,000,000 is involved in construction of new steel production equipment for the Ford Motor Co, now in progress. National Steel Corp. has announced a $12,000,000 expan- sion for its subsidiary, the Great Lakes Steel Corp. Carnegie Steel is building a 42-inch hot strip mill at Youngstown, Ohio, and Bethlehem is planning a 60-inch hot strip mill for its Lackawanna works at Buffalo. Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. is completing a $7,000,000 mill at its Campbell, Ohio, works and nearby the Republic Steel Corp. is spending $500,000 for a new electric weld tube mill building. Yet back in 1929 and 1930 the opin- ion was expressed widely that the steel giant had overgrown himself. Huge plants and new processes had given the industry a capacity five times as great as the depression-time demands for its products. Dozens of plants were shut down and others were working only on a part-time basis. Today the $100,000,000 new equip- ment program, much of it already in progress, shows how far the situation has changed. GLOOMY FUTURE SEEN FOR FILIPINOS By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 17.—A gloomy view of independence for the Filipinos under provisions of the Tyd- ings-McDuffie bill remained with old- time residents of the Philippines in New York today. At the seventeenth annual reunion and dinner of the Philippine Club here, composed of men and women who bore the “white man’s burden” in the Philippines in the early days, the | outlook for independence was freely discussed. ‘W. Cameron Forbes, former Gov- ernor General of the islands and re- cent American Ambassador to Tokio, foresaw hazardous trade difficulties confronting an independent Philip- pines when the break is effected 10 to 12 years hence. Gen. John J. Pershing was re-elect- ed president of the club for another year. Gen. Pershing, who won his spurs in the Mindanao campaign, was not able to be present. He sent word that illness had prevented him from leaving France, where he has been for several months, in time to attend. Associated Press advices from Paris, however, reported Gen. Pershing had boarded the 8. S. Manhattan Saturday for New York to spend Christmas at home. Friends said he was not seri- ously ill. Lansburghs MO CONNECTION WITH ANY OTHER WASHINGTON STORE Samples!
