Help'Industry To Lift Itself Out Of Depression ecccccccosces Poecccesecvcccccoccecessccceccecce eo eocecece (By Asadetated Prens) “ CLEVELAND; Ohio; May 15.— Operating percentages of the; steel industry are on the climb again—which means a smoky pall over the valley mills and fiery skies at night from Bessemer con- verters along the Mahoning. Operations at 40 percent of ca-| | Seecccconccceessseees fore long, mean optimism today, though that is far short of the 85 percent in prosperous years. The reason is that economies have been effected and new in- ventions developed, so that it is a common saying among steel men; that they can operate only ‘40 ‘per-} cent today and ‘at ‘a profit. ‘ New ‘Baby* Mills Built Perhaps greatest among “ the i changes are in the ‘rolling’ «mill operations. Eight sheet and strip miils were| being built in January and 17 were completed in 1932. Since the first of the year two other contracts have been let. But they are “baby” mills com- pared to the continuous mills, cost-! ing from $2,000,000 to $25,000,-} 000 erected in the five years pre- vious to 1930. With 10 or 12 stands of rolls in ‘a line and a reheating furnace midway, the continuous mills re- duced the hot ingots to the finished ; products in a few minutes. Costly on Small Orders Ideal for big orders, they proved expensive when the rolls had to be readjusted all along the line} Instead of 10 or 12 stands of, cause the “baby” mill can be. op-; aging a decentralizatiop of indus- and much material wasted for/ rolls, Steckel built a mill on one: erated on Tuesday, remain idle the! try. ach small order after a period of) stand, four rolls high, through! rest of the week, and still make a; Another possibility is new prod-' idleness. | which he passed a ribbon of steel profit. ucts.

Fear was expressed by veterans that the economy slashes put into effect by the administration would seriously curtail veterans work in these lines. Members of congress in large numbers beseiged the White House asking that hospitali- zation work not be curtailed and thé president stated that it had not been his intention to curtail these activities.

All Members Of Organ- ization Shown Wonder- ful Time During Sojourn In Capital C. P.

Some of the legislation passed | 7 was not to the complete liking of 7 the local post. Particularly ob. jectionable was the rejection of recognition of the negro veteran, one of the important charges of Mr. Hogeboom. There was a determined ef- fort on the part of ther state posts which enabled them to defeat the efforts of Jacksonville, Pensa~ cola and Key West to get the matter of recognition adopted, The movement was lost on the — floor by four votes. 4 It is hoped, said Commander 7 Hogeboom that the question wil be taken up at the next conven- | tien, which will meet im -Gaines- J ; and pushed throughi'td suc” cess. Wrong Impression From the opinions expressed b; a number of veterans it seems an. idea prevailed that an effort was being made to include the negr veteran in the’ légién. “This is not the case. The idea, said the com. ~ mander, is clearly stated in the resolution. It is to enroll the negro veterans under the direction of the legion, so that they may have some rep-— resentation as veterans, Whe they were needed they enlisted, or ” were drafted. They fought nobly | for their country, and now that — they are pleading for recognition it is being denied. q Mrs. D.
