Other Nation*.
Mr. Elbert II. Gary, chairman of the
United States Steel Corporation, in a
statement on business conditions and
prospccts for the new year, said:
"The demand for steel, for more than
a year. In all departments, has been in
excess of the supply; the production for
1918 was about 2? per cent greater than
for any previous year: the prices have
been higher for many, and probably
most of the materials sold than those
received for many years, and they have
generally been influenced by the pur
chaser himself In consequence of his
eagerness to supply his requirements:
collections have be<-n entirely satisfac
tory, .delay in payment being the ex
ception; and. much to tho pleasure and
comfort of both employer and employe,
the wage scale has been and Is the
highest ever paid. It follows that prof
Its have been large. Figures will, be
definitely ascertained later, and pub
lished. though the flnal net will be In
some cases modified by the amounts
?which prudent management Justifies In
charging off for improvements necessi
tated by changes in design, method or
practice. The unflllejd orders on hand
surpass any previous record. With re
spect to the lines in which It is cus
tomary to contract for future deliveries
there are commitments sufficient to
cover full capacity for 191? and a part
of 1918. This business is firm and hot
subject to cancellation. The steel and
Iron conditions proba"bly reflect the gen
eral business situation. There is little
cause for complaint so far as the pres
et prosperity is concerned.
"But our business community has
more concern for the future. Large
numbers are of the opinion that ths un
precedented prosperity of the last year
lias resulted from the war: that except
for the war the business depression
which existed between October 1. 1913,
and October 1. 1914, would have contin
ued or grown worse unless the causes
?which produced It should have been re
moved. When the war orders, so-called,
began to appear, their influence was Im
mediately perceived. The war fur
nished business and money from other
countries: and It interrupted the prac
tice of dumping into our markets the
surplus goods and war**
abroad with cheap labor and offered at
or below even the cost u? ttiu
producer.
Cannot Measure Tolas*.
"It is difficult to exactly measure the
volume or influence, directly and Indi
rectly, of :i new or additional line of
business that is offered. For example.
If a million dollars in value Is offered
by a foreign purchaser to an American
producer who has a surplus capacity,
the latter immediately prepares to fill
the ord^r. This necessitates the em
ployment or reemployment of extra
men. and they in turn make, increased
expenditures for the comforts of life.
The merchant who sells to them buys
more goods and these are carried by
the railroads, who hire more men: and
so it goes on and on. The original pro
ducer. who is tilling the order received
from the foreigner, increases his freight
payments to the railroads and in this
way another circle of business expan
sion is started. Besides, the producer
expends all ^or a part of his profits for
his cotnfort or luxury, and this devel
ops and travels throughout the country
like the others. It is not necessary to
multiply examples in order to illustrate
the point. When it is remembered the
foreign countries have been purchasing
to the extent of billions, it is realized
that Its influence on our business has
been tremendous.
"It is deemed appropriate to refer
to some of the things particularly ap
plicable to our own welfare which b'.-ar
upon 'the future economic position.
In the first place, our large capital
resources should be kept intact, so far
as consistent with the principles of safe
government, wise and economic admin
istration. proper development and prog
ress, absolute protection to the rights
of all, and the transaction of business,
public and private. We should not be
come over-exteijded financially. Our
cash resources ought not to be so tied
up as to become unavailable for our
own demands. They should bo kept in
liquid form to a large extent, so as to
permit realisation, of actual money or
credit upon them if and when neces
sary. We should bo prepared for emer
gencies. for adverse developments, even
though unexpected.
"However, we should not permit our
riches to interfere with our progress.
There is danger that great wealth will
produce the opposite of necessity ? ex
travagance. indolence, waste, indlffer
ence. retrogression, stupidity, failure.
We must be on our guard against this
danger.
XT. S. Should Be Equal.
"Again, our country should be placed
and kept "n a parity with all other
countries. 1 refer to the tariff ques
tion. I have said before and I now re
peat. this question should not be con
sidered or treated as a political or par
tisan one. The greatest good to ill*
greatest number Bhould in this, as in all
public questions, be the sole inquiry
and determination. Facts should be as
certained and honest, sensible, practical j
results secured. Prohibitive tariff
rates, so-called, or schedules that are
so high as to permit a producer to op- I
press the consumer, should not be per
mitted; but tariff rates on luxuries we
do not produce In this country should |
be reasonably high so as to produce <
revenues for the government; and tar- 1
Iff rates on the things coming from for- |
eign countries similar to those wo pro- i
duce, whether In the forest or in the
fields, in the mines or in the manufac
tories, should be sufficiently high to
protect our producers including the
wage earners against cneap foreign
labor and its results, and so as to put
our country end its people on a fair and
even basis with all other countries and
peoples. Possibly this could be secured
to a certain extent by anti-dumping
provisions or by reciprocity conditions.
At any rate, it Is not reasonable or fair
to our people to place them in a posi
tion of disadvantage. Nearly all foreign
countries have tariff provisions in their
laws which prevent our producers from
selling there, and we should have like
security.
"One of the most important subjects
for consideration at the present time,
as it seems to me, Is the danger of dis
criminatory legislation in this country.
Any legislation that is calculated to
create : dissensions, or to affect favor- [
ably one class, as it is called in our
general terms, to the prejudlco of an
other, is harmful and vicicus; and car
ried to Its natural rajults may endan
ger even the national structure Itself.
"Harmony between all classes of peo
ple concerning the problems in which
all have a direct and personal interest,
is essential to the best results for all.

STOCK MARKET WAS
j AGAIN DEPRESSED
SMllnff* Lacked Initiative and Every
Advance Brought Biff Selling
Orders.
NEW YORK. Jan. 7.? Practically the
same Influences that operated to rte- !
press values In the flna) weeks of last
year were again eftecting last week,
though in more moderate degree. Deal
ings tacked thr- Initiative or Impulse
of public Interest and traders continued
to sell the active list at almost every
marked advance.
The trend of foreign events was again
i the most potent factor in shaping spec
; ulatlve sentiment. In keeping with De
: cembur markets, price changes were
'often paradoxical and confusing.- so
| called, peace stocks falling on renewal
? of peace rumors whilo war shares as
often lest ground on developments
favorable to those issues in the bull
markets of last fall.
Absence of any marked investment,
demand thus fat- this year is the most
I disappointing feature to conservative
I financial interests. Contrary to the cus
| torn the bond market fails to indicate
more than moderate inquiry from that
I quarter, despite the many attractive is
?ues offered. This conoition is ascribed
to a naturat growing out of current
peace negotiations and the probability
of another large foreign undsrtaking
by our bankers.
Hails were less active than at any re
| cent period, industrial conditions lost
I nunc of last year's favorable aspects
I but estimated dealings with the earn
| i:i?R of the United States Steel Corpora
tion for the last quarter of 1U1C were
somewhat niodllled.
I Metals were irregular, partly In con
: sequonce of the belief that foreign de
mand reached its crest some weeks ago.
All forms of foreign remittances,
sterling excepted, were irregular . or
: heavy on nominal dealings. Signs point
; to further large gold imports from L.on
i don with Paris and Petrograd as pro
! bable participants in the movement.
! are liable to create disturbances and
generally produce Injury and loss.
"From time to tlmc> efforts are made
to create friction between capital and
those without It, or those possessed of
small means; or between the employer i
and the employe. Occasionally these
attempts ore successful, and both of1
i these interests suffer, and the general
public also. ' :
"It is well for the large number of
employers to bear In mind that they |
cannot successfully carry on their af
fairs without having the labor and loy
alty of "their employes who constitute
the majority. It may be true that nia
' chlnery is taking the place of thousands
of workmen and that the number may
be increased: but It seems certain that
the work of multitudes will always dp
needed for the successful operation of
1 business. It behooves the employers to
1 Klve constant and intelligent thought to ?
j the right*, necessities and welfare of1
; the employes, and this on the basis that
I the former Is dependent upon the latter
as a most important unit in business
| progress.
"And the employes are jus* as de
I pendent upon the employer. The em
i ployes are mado up of the unskilled J
laborers, not infrequently designated as
common labor, the skilled labor, so
called. and the administrative force. It
is plain that the totally unskilled labor- i
ers could make little progress In col- 1
lective capacity if left to themselves.
Without the assistance of others who j
| are more or less trained and who are
capable of initiative, design, construe
| tion, organization and administration,
the unskilled would be helpless. It is
also clear that the skilled laborer or the
highly educated or experienced em
ployes could not without abundant capi
tal accomplish pronounced success.
Therefore, in their own interest, the
employes must fully comprehend their
dependence upon their employers who
provide the capital.
"And the general public should and
undoubtedly does appreciate the Impor
tance of according to all classes fair, j
just and honest consideration and treat- j
ment. No wrong or unreasonable basis 1
will be permanent."
