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.

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.

Sew York, Aug. 7.—Legislation
to restore to citizenship automatic
ally Americans who served in the
military and naval forces of the
Allied nations prior to the declara
tion of war by the United State 3
will be fostered by The American
Legion. If the immigration com

House, respectively, do not con
template such legislation, the legis
lative committee of the Legion of
which former Congressman Thomas

Lea are joint chairmen will prepare
a bill and have it introduced in
Congress.
According to the Act of March 2,
1907, no American cit'zen could ex
patriate himself while the country
was at war so that Americans who
entered the service of foreign gov
ernments after April 5, 1917, re
mained citizens. But those who
took the oath of allegiance to any
of the nations allied against Ger
many prior to April 5, 1917 did ex
patriate themselves and must apply
for reinstatement as American citi
