NEW YORK, Jan. 7. Elbort II.
Gary, chairman or tho United Stntou
Steel Corporation Jssund n statement
dealing In detail with prevailing
prosperous conditions in tho Hteol
1 nnd Iron trado, togothor with n fore-
con for tho future of thnt Industry.
Itcferonco Is made to tho European
conflict In Its world-wide, applica
tion to economic conditions. Judgo
I Gary calls attention Jo tho dangers
of ovor production or Inriallon by
manufacturorfl and bankers rcsult
ine from ovcr-confldoncc, anil tho ld
o tho government la Invoked for nd
cnuato protection of tho country's In
dustries. In part tho ntatamont rollows:
" It will bo admitted by all manu
facturers of theso products tlmt
tliero Is no reason for complaint at
tho present tlmo ns to thif voliuuo or
urgency of tho donmnd, ijor In most
caics, as to prices rccolved notwith
standing tho cost of production, has
been larger during tho lust flvo years
, becauso of Increases In 'Wagos, freight
charges, otc.
"Tho rato of production at pres
ent In tho United States Is about 38,
000,000 tons of pig Iron and about
41,000,000 tons of steel Ingots per
annum. This Is compared with a
r&to of 10,000,000 tons of pig Iron
and 10,000,000 tons of stool Ingots
ono year ago, and 30.GOO tons of pig
Iron and 3D,000,000 tons of stool In
gots at high water mark In tho yenr
191G for pig Iron and 1912 for In
gots. " Prices could cnslly bo materially
advanced and perhaps will bo, al
though I bellovo as to somo of tho
commodities, at leuBt, thoy aro high
enough. It Is not certain thoy can
bo controlled, for tho reason that tho
requirements of purchasers and tho
offers thoy malco fix tho prlcos to n
largo extent.
"Apparently about 75 percent of
tho sales Is for domestic consump
tion and tho balanco for foreign uso,
directly or Indirectly. Tho Inf luonca
o' tho oxport sales upon domestic
sales r do not undertake to say.
War To End Soon
" I bollovo tho war of Eurhno will
r-ot ho so long protracted as many,
If not tho most of men, predict. This
opinion is busod principally upon two
grounds. In tho first It seoms ap
parent that little, If any, boneflt to
any belligerent country or to tho
world nt largo can result from ths
war except and unless It bo tho firm
establishment of Rn International tri
bunal for the sottlomont of nil Inter
national differences; ono that s uni
versal and practical and whoso do
nees are onforclule; ono that will
Prevent tho prolongation of wars In
the future. This can bo created. If
so, negotiations for ponco and for
such results should bo opened at onco
and punished to n conclusion.

Nothing dcflnlto rogardlng the se

Ho doclarcd tho matter has boon

hardly bo called discouraging.
San Francisco To Act
Until tho company heads In San

Willing to Settle
" If the Port will bo reasonable,"
said L. J. Simpson, "thero will be no
suit and tho trouble will bo settled
out of court."
At tho present tlmo ho says thero
Is nothing now regarding tho build
ing of an electric railroad to Sunsot
Bay, the project which has already
boon set on foot.
Denies Any Suo
Denial that any salo has been
been mado or Is contemplated of his

two from Portland tho report was
circulated that ho would dispose of
his holdings horo and thnt orders
had boen sent to Bboro acres to dis
charge most of tho employees.
" There Is nbsolutoly nothing In

entirely untrue."
