NOTE: One thing on which both new dealers and big business busi-ness agree is that tax-exempt securities must be abolished if Business is to improve. As long as billions of dollars are tied up in this non-venturesome type of investment, no new money is going to reach the capital markets in appreciable amounts. However, one of the most effective effec-tive lobbies in years, headed by the Council of Mayors, is out to defeat any legislation effecting tax-exempt securities. : WHERE WAS GUAM? How much the house of representatives rep-resentatives knows about the island is-land of Guam may be indicated by the remark of a member of the naval affairs committee, when that group visited the Quantico Marine Corps base shortly before the vote was taken. Tine junket from Washington to Quantico, Va., was to see a large relief map of the Pacific Islands, including Guam. Congressmen were flown from Washington In a navy plane. , As they were studying the relief re-lief map, one member approached the marine officer, who was their appointed guide, and said, somewhat some-what plaintively: "Excuse me, but I'm from Florida, and I'd just like to spot something familiar on this map." His gaze ranged aimlessly over the great stretch of Pacific waters, wa-ters, Japan, Guam and. Hawaii. ..'"Can you tell me, Coloned, Where is Key West?" - UNDER THE DOME Army officers are rowing over Whether to adopt a new repeating repeat-ing rifle invented by Melvin H.

This is the problem of fixing wages in the steel industry. What complicates the problem is the small companies. Prices for the big companies create , no real problem. But the smaller companies com-panies claim they cannot compete com-pete if they pay the same wages. What worries xperts in the labor department is that many of these companies have a good case. Also the monopoly committee, commit-tee, created by the president and congress, is now championing the cause o small business and pointing point-ing out that one of the economic ills fit thev country is too much concentration in the hands of big companies. To pay a wage of 62 cents fixed ., by the labor department under tSte Walsh-Healy act, would tend either to shut some of these plants' :;br force them to install more labor-saving machinery. STEEL WAR I Real root of the difficulty is a cut-throat race between the moguls mo-guls of the steel world. These moguls, are the U. S. Steel corporation cor-poration on one hand and its foremost rivals Bethlehem, Inland, In-land, Republic, Otis and Nation-al-on the other. The fight goes back to the days shortly after the reign of Judge Gary . over U. S. SteeL when its competitors began to cut in on its market Finally, U. S. Steel woke " up, installed labor-saving labor-saving devices, together with new TJ. S. Approved Baby ChlcksJ All popular breeds available now.

A. Jacob, building inspector, today. . . : : Building and remodeling in the and up-to-date plants at Birmingham, Birming-ham, Chicago and Pittsburgh, and began to cut prices below those of Bethlehem and other chief rivals. Bethlehem, et al. immediately answered with agitation for a wage cut. This would have been a blow both to U. 9 Steel and to the CIO, which had just signed sign-ed a contract with that firm. So the CIO moved to invoke the Walsh-Healy act which, under the public contracts board,- has the power to fix prevailing wage scales on government work. Since the steel- companies are largely engaged in filling naval and PWA orders, practically all of them come under the Walsh -Healy act. Accordingly, Miss Perkins fixed fix-ed a wage scale running from 45 cents an hour in the south to 62 y cents in the great northeast steel area, which extends from Iowa to Maine. Sitting on the sidelines, however, how-ever, and playing no great part in this cut-throat rivalry is a large group of much smaller companies. com-panies. These include Lukens Steel at Coatesville. Pa., Carpenter Steel Co., at Reading, Pa., Central Cen-tral Iron and Steel at Harris-burg, Harris-burg, Pa., Alan Wood Steel at Conshohocken, Pa., Cohoes Rolling Roll-ing Mill at Cohoes, N. Y Eastern Rolling Mill at Baltimore; Worth Steel company at Claymorit, Del; Worcester Pressed Steel Co., at Worcester, Mass., and the George W- Prestiss Company at Holyoke, Mass. Under the law these companies also would be forced to pay the 62 cent rate, which they claim would practically put them out of business. So far, Miss Perkins has extended the date on which this wage would go into effect until March 1, at which time the companies are hoping for a new ruling. Should the 62 -cent rate be imposed at that time, however, it looks like hot fireworks both within the steel industry and in Washington. (Copyright, 1939, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.)

LEGISLATURE (Continued from Page One, revenues for the uniform school fund and determine their distribution. distribu-tion. The senate refused to concur in a house amendment reserving a portion of revenue from minerals for the counties and the house voted not to recede. A conference committee was appointed. Three appointees to the public service commission were approved by the senate yestercay. O. A. Wiesley. Ward C. Hoi-brook, Hoi-brook, and Walter K. Granger, named by Governor Blood to the" commission approved by the 1937 senate, were reapproved because the law was amended by the 22nd session and became effective after their confirmation. Downed by the house Monday, the metal mine occupation tax bill stayed down when the house refused re-fused to reconsider it by a vote of 24 to 27. The house passed a second bill in the series setting up machinery machin-ery to make the uniform school fund effective. A $25 motor bus fee measure was passed in the senate and seiVt to the house. The senate also approvel a bill to clarify water rights laws. Before passing a measure to permit the road commission to adjust ad-just claims against it up to $250 and raising road commissioners' salaries, the house reduced the proposed raise from $500 to $100 giving them an annual wage of $3600. 1 Metal Prices , NEW YORK, March 1 Ui!
