The Outlook for Steel in 1927

 

 

By JOHN W. mm.
Financial Editor, Iron Trade Review
Written for Sentinel and
NEA Service

Nineteen Twenty-six was a period
notable for the widespread diffusion
of prosperity. Industrial production
climbed to un-cxamplcd peaks. Wag-
es and employment were high and
the distribution and consumption of
goods were without parallel.

Business profits exceeded all oth-
er peace-time years. Earnings of a
large group of representative indus-
trial and mercantile companies dur-
ing the year can nearly 30 per cent
ahead of those for 1925.

The iron and-teal industry has
shared liberally in these good times.
Recognised as a yard-stick by which
general industry may be gauged. a
steel production in'1926 surpassed
all former records in the history of
the country. ‘

The output of steel ingots. accord-
lngly to preliminary estimates by
Iron Trade Review. approximated
47.150,000 tons in 1926. This ex-
ceeded the previous high mark for
all time of 44,100,000 tons in 1925
by nearly 7 per cent. Pig iron pro-
duction in 1926 was about 99,275,000
tons. a gain of 8 per cent over the
1925 total and second only to the
record output’of 40,025,000 tons in
,1923.

Nice Adiustment Reached

One of the most important devel-
opments in the steel industry during
the past year has been the nice-ad-
justment of production to consump-
tion. Mandate-mouth buying has
been adopted. for ’the time at least.
as a dominant policy by users of
steel. The new year is beginning with
a wholesome absence of excessive
stocks of steel anywhere.

Considering the outlook for the
iron and steel industry it is neces-
sary to examine the prospects for
the great industries which consume
this universal metal.» Of every 100
pounds of finished steel. 00 to 65
pounds normally are used by four
great industries building. automo-
biles. oil, gas aild water. and the
railroads.

Present indications are that build-
ing construction will be active in
1927. The gradually declining trend
of recent months may continue. Yet
contract awards on hand throughout
the country exist in huge volume.
This gives assurance that there will
be no sudden recession.

The automobile industry now uses
each year about 16 pounds of each
100 pounds of finished steel. In 1926
the toialr output of cars and trucks
is estimated at approximately 4.600,-
000. a new record for all time.

During the closing months of the
year there was a rapid decrease in
the rate of motor car production.
due partly to the seasonal falling
off of'sales and partly to the know-
ledge of producers that - stocks of
finished cars in the hands of dealers
were getting too high.

BootlegTrial

(Continued from Page .One.)

 

When court reopened after an
hour's recess at 2 o'clock ye‘stcrday.
Mayor Thomas Robins. who had not
appeared at 12 o‘clock and was or-
dered on his summons to attend as

witness for the defense. was present.
Throughout the hours of final poll-
ing of the jury and the later cross-
examination of the two agents or
“stool pigeons." who collaborated
with him and his son. Reuben, in
procuring the evidence leading to
the raids. he sat with unmoved face.
Mayor Appears 130er

The mayor even appeared slightly
bored when Judge John Keogh ex-
tracted from the second witness,
Daniel Saltarelli of North Taylor
avenue. the statement that he had in
his own handwriting made entries
in a notebook the night the liquor
was boughtnt the’ Novuk establish
ment by himself and a neighbor. A
shadow flickered across the may 01 's
face, bewcver. when Keogh had
made Saltarclll rewrite one entry
and found. the handwriting did not
correspond with that in the note-
book. The defense attorney insinu-
ated that tho writing was that of
either the mayor or his son.

Throughout the cross-examination
of the only two witnesses yesterday,

. , Keogh. occasionally advised by Judge

William F. Tammany at his right
hand, attempted to show that the
two young men were merely tools
in the hands of the mayor,

As the session opened‘there were
still twu jurors to‘ be put on the
panel with 29 having already been
examined. leven Bridgeport men
had been hastily summoned as tales-
men. The first. John J. O’Neil. a
printer. was excused. by the‘ court
when he said he was violently cp-
posed to drink and preferred not to
serve. Maurice F. Perry, office ex-
ecutive of the Harvey Hubbell com-
pany. was challenged by the defense‘
on grounds that being a university
club -member he must be well ac-
quainted with the state‘s attorney.
The challenge responsibility was as-
sumed by the state when Judge
Baldwin remarked the defense's
eight challenges were nearly run
out. Richard Costello, the next
was accepted. William
Houllhan did not believe in prohibi-
tion so was excused by the state.
James Holt admitted frankly being
an eat-prohibition “agent but claimed

As sales are ‘atimulated by

preach of spring. production will
increase. in the main 1927 pl‘ollllScn
to be a fairly satisfactory year for
the automobile industry. Output
should not fall more than 6 per cent
below that of 1926. Competition.
however, will be extremely keen and
more price reductions are possible.
Oil, Gas and Water

The third great consuming indus-
try of iron and steel is oil, gas and
water. Because of the probability of
continued increases in the produc-
tion of petroleum. the use of steel
by these industries should increase
in 1927 over that of 1926.

This leaves the railroads as the.
great uncertain factor in the out-
look.

Present evidence is that the rail—
roads will buy more steel in 102?
than in 1926. They have been through
a year of unprecedented traffic. with
consequent wear and tear on rolling
stock. ’i‘hclr earnings for the year.
passing 31.200.000.000. are without
parallel. Their purchase of equip-
ment in recent years has been far
below all estimates of their needs.

Assuming. therefore.-that the rail-
roads will make greater outlays in
1927. this source of demand will tend
to offset any declines in the use of
steel in other quarters.

Six Counts Against Novak

Clerk of Court Lyons told off the
jury and read. the charges against
Novak. l-lis address was given as
“:1. Fort Point street, City of fleet.
Norwalk." afterward the subject of
some dispute until the "East" was
stricken from the record, Six counts
were cited against Novak; keeping
a ‘bar. selling liquor, and general
reputation, on evidence collected
August 7; selling on August 14; sell-
ing on September 20; and selling on
November 9.

After a short recess at 2:56
o'clock. Harold Mather, of North
Taylor avenue, was called as the lirst
witness for the state. being grilled
until 4:15 o'clock, He stated in 1111-
swcr to Assistant State's Attorney E.
Earle Garlick's questions that on
August '1. accompanied by Daniel
Saltarelli. he had gone to Novak‘s
establishment. which "was a. saloon
at one time and looks now like 11
speakcasy." and purchased a SIMS
of beer and a bottle of whiskey.

“Real" beer he called it, and said
that he had paid $3 for the whiskey.
about a. pint, to Louis Novak him-
self.

"Then what did you do? he was
asked. '

,"I turned it ov.er to Mawr Rob-
ins," he said.

When directed to point out the
man he paid for the liquor. Mather
indicated with his finger
turn three men rose. Novak's brother,

 

Novnk himself, and another. There

were six or eight other men in the
establishment, Mather confided
After Keogh's demand for more de-
finite information ho said: "They
were drinking beer."

At this point State Chemist. Ha-
rold ‘Leavenworth advanced and
handed out three bottles for identi-
fication and with some al'sllments
between attorneys they were label-
led us f'exllibits." A week later.
Mather continued. he visited the

place again and paid $2 for the

second bottle and on August 14 he
bought beer and a bottle of gin, The
gin also cost 82.11:: repeated with
the last that he "took the bottle to
Mayor Robins."

“Bummlcs” Got a Laugh

Garlick returned to the question
of frequenterii.gMather said: “There
were six or eight rummies there."
An upr'oa‘r fdllowod. On Kcogh's de-
mand. Judge Baldwin had the word
"rummles" stricken from the record.

Judso Keogh. on cross examina-
tion attacked Mather'a oriifimil
statement that he came from South
Norwalk. He called attention to the
fact that North Taylor avenue is in
Norwalk. Mather claimed to have a
job as ball bearing polisher in Glen-
brook although he is a hatter by
trade.

Keogh naked: “Haven't you been
working with other men 8111101108
this evidence?!

"I was working with Danny and
the mayor." came the answor.

"With Ruben Roblns.‘ too'!"

“Yes, sir."

Shortly afterward the examina-
tion tool: the turn:

“How long have you been getting
evideneal"-

and in .

 

for 1027 is favorable. For business in
general there are no symptoms of
fatal illness anywhere. Purchasing
power has suffered somewhat in the
south from the full of cotton but
that has been partly offset by the
acceleration of the textile trade and
the advantages to consumers of low-
priced cotton textiles. In general the
cash income of all farmers in 1926
of nearly $10 000000 000. was only
about 4 or 5. per cent short of 1925.

Although installment selling has
been greatly extended. there is no
convincing proof that it is bringing
on a crisis. (in the other hand. it
has made far-reaching and import-
ant contribution to the advance in
living standards and in the mainten-
ance of maximum industrial produc-
tion.

During recent years business poll-
cics have been governed by an un-
derlying conservatism. ’i‘hls, broadly
speaking. has prevented over-pro-
duction. It has prevented an execs-
aive accumulation of unsold inven-
tories and it has averted a dangerous
inflation in commodity prices. With-

positive overshadowing factor of an
abundant supply of cheap credit no

Mather also admitted he had ga-
thered evidence of liquo1 selling in
eight places.

"There is a police force in Nor-

“I t1icd to, but could ne\c1 find

Later he admitted he had called
at the chief’s office but tulce, both
times after hours.

Mather Guards Black Book

From this point on, the courtroom
was seized with a. series of littering
spells over the attempts of Judge
Keogh to get a close look at Math-
er's private "black book" with notes
of the evidence gathering expedl-,
tions. Mather refused to let the
lawyer go through the book and flu-
ally. held it so far back that it could
neither be read nor grasped by the
counsel.

Mather testified thathe had cali-
ed on the mayor at his home about
every two weeks. that he expects no
pay. and had'spent $50 of his own
money purchasing liquor evidence.
1119 second bottle of whiskey he pur-
chased was given to the mayor in
the pressures of Detective Sergeant
Lengyei. he said. When Assistan:
State' 3 Attorney Garlick resumed his
examination. before“ Mother was dis-
missed. he repeated that the other

evidence was given the mayor in
presence of Reubin Robins.

Daniel Saltarelli was called , am.
described the visit he' made With
Mather to Novak's. August 7. He
said they went around to the back
door and rapped. A man looked
them over from a pcephole in the
vestibule door. and they were let in
by Louis Novak. They purchased
a glass of beer and then ordered
the whiskey. He made the trip be-
cause he "had nothing elsorto do
and thought something useful could
be done for the good of the town."
Salter-elli was not so‘ bashful as
-Mather about exhibiting his notc-
book of evidence entries. He stated
they had been made by him in his
Buick roadster directly after leav-
ing Novak's. J udgo Keogh inspected
the entries and found these words:
“Hap was with you."

The latter spelled it verbally "pro-
prictcr." and Keogh remarked the
ending in the notebook was "or" in-
stead of “or." in confusion Sollar-
elli then declared he had copied the
entries _from another notebook.
Keogh took a specimen of his hauu-
writing and, stating it was not the
sumo as that in the book, had the
notebook and sample labelled “Dc-
fense Exhibit A" for perusal by the
jury later. Mather explained the
differcncc by saying he was a. little
nervous on the witness stand.

After a few more questions by
Keogh. court was adjourned at 4:45
o‘clock until 10 o'clock this morn-
ing.

The polling of the tnlcsmen in
the morning proved a battle royal
bctuccu the counsel for state and
Novak. At the start of the case At-
torney Keogh had declared to Judge
Baldwin that the case "is a little
justlcc-of-thé-pcacc case and I will
take my chances with a. jury without
polling its members." A recess was
called and the late decided to poll
the jury so that the making of the
panel was started at 10:20 o'clock.

Throughout the examination.
Judge Keogh. and sometimes
Judge Tammany. repeated to tales-
meu questions of: "Are you a mem-
ber of any organization composed
exclusively by American born mem-
bers?" "Are you prejudiced against
foreigners?" "Are you prejudiced
against tho. members of any other
creed?"

Ku Klux Suspected

The admitted intent of these do-
inands was to locate if possible any
members of the Ku Klux Klan
among the talesmen. In only a few
cases was the Klan ,mentioned di-

rectly but in one of these, that of .

Edward Knight of Easton. the tales-
1han was excused by the defense
when he evaded the Klan member-
ship question, giving s. reluctam
