STRIKES DELAY STEEL OUTPUT Actual Stoppage of Pig Iron i and Steel Making Possible New York, Aug. 7.—Actual stop page of pig iron and steel making by railroad strikes in the Cleveland ; and Chicago districts in the past j week have given more weight to *lhe possibility of curtailment by , Strikes in the steel industry itself, says the Iron Age to-day. Blast fur naces and steel works operations of the American Steel & Wire Com pany at Cleveland have been large ly suspended. At the South Chicago | works of the Illinois Steel Com- j pany 7 out of 12 blast furnaces arc ' banked, and at Gary 14 out of 4 4 j open-hearth furnaces are idle*. The unionizing of blast furnace and steel plant workers in the ) Pittsburgh and Ohio districts has j shown no marked progress in the I week, but the outlook is more threat- j cning because of the railroad shop- . men's strike, and a new uncertainty | has entered into the prospect for j the remainder of the year. The increase in pig iron in Julyi was pronounced, as was expected, | the total for the month being 2,-j 128,541 tons, or 78,340 tons a day, { as against 2.114.73S tons In June, or J 70,495 tons a day. The blowing in j of furnaces kept up through the j month so that 239 were in blast on I August 1, o against 200 one month j previous. Pig iron production at the begin- j ning of August was at the rate of n 5,635 tons a day, as compared with j 71,700 tons a day at the beginning, of July, the present operation being j at a yearly rate of about 31,500,000 [ tons, whereas the 1918 output was.

The oil men whom Mr. In | man accuses are declared to have | large offices in Washington and New | York and unlimited supplies of money ( i "They are playing," the report' I says, "not simply for oil wells in 1 Tampico and Vera Cruz, but for a i much larger stake. They have found | out that Mexico is full of oil. What i ihey want is the United States to i get hold of Mexico so that they can easily obtain these billions of dollars of oil properties which are certain to I be developed in the future." PUBLIC BUILDING CAMPAIGN STOPS War Department Finds Mark ed Decrease in Unem ployment Washington, Aug. 7—"The War De partment has to-day decided to stop the campaign for public building throughout the United States," it is to-day announced by Colonel Arthur Woods, Assistant to the Secretary of War. This decision wrfs taken because the decrease of unemployment in many localities has been so marked that some difficulty is reported in obtaining soldier labor for the normal industrial operations. It is therefore eorfeklered that the further stimulation of pub lic building at this time would be inadvisable. The energies devoted in the past to the stimulation of public build ing. it was further decided, will now be turned particularly into assisting professional and technical men in finding jobs. The work of placing this class of ex-soldiers presents unni usual difficulties because the demand for the high grade of ability possess ed by these men is not at present in such great demand as ordinary labor. An active campaign, however, is being conducted to secure information from trade associations, technical societies professional societies and large em ployers with a view to finding all possible opportunities for discharged army men who qualify in this way.
