'BULLISH' MOOD
, SEEN IN SHEET
AND 'fEN SHIP'
Observers Predict Business In
crease in Spite of Dual
Strikes.
WAGE INCREASE GIVEN
Announcement Is Surprise in
Face of Failure to Earn
Dividend on Stock.
By United Netcs
NEW YORK, Aug. 23.—Wa1l Street
Is feeling extremely "bullish.”
Advocates of the "open shop,” as
opposed to trade unionism are also
feeling bullish.
Observers in the Street see good
business ahead, in spite of strikes
and crippled fuel and transportation
conditions.
It is a combination of good busi
ness prospects and the existing labor
situation that is responsible for an
Increase in wages announced by the
United States Steel Corporation Tues
day. in the opinion of competent au
thorities.
The Steel Corporation announce-
stated that the wages of day
laborers will be increased 20 per cent.
Effective Sept. 1. Other rates will be
equitably adjusted, it was added. Soon
after the Steel Corporation announce
ment was made public the Youngs
town Sheet and Tube Company, an
"independent.” announced a similar
Increase. The Midvale Steel Company
followed the lead with an announce
ment of a wage increase. Other com
panies were expected to follow suit.
Fails to Earn Dividend
The Steel Corporation failed to earn
the dividend on its common stock last
year. It also failed to make the divi
dend on this stock the .first quarter of
this year, and again the second quar
ter, although the second quarter fig
ures were not far below the dividend
mark.
In the face of these conditions an
nouncement of the increase in wages
caused some surprise. But competent
authorities declare that the Steel Cor
poration was never in a better posi
tron to make money than at present.
Caries Speculation
The fact that the steel corporation
Is the biggost "open shop” concern
in the country, however, has resulted
in considerable speculation as to
whether the general labor situation
may not have had some influence on
the decision to grant an increase Just
at this time.
David Williams, secretary of the
strike committee for the metropolitan
area, said: “The wage increase in the
steel mills will put considerable fire
into the veins of railroad labor. The
railroad man will find it hard to see
fcrhy he should get $2.75 a day. when
could get $4 for the same work in
the steel plants.
"If the railroads don't settle with
the shopmen it will be doubly difficult
to hold the unskilled men in line."

WASHINGTON. Aug. 23.—Secretary

He says: "If the control over prices
