Pittsburgh steel operations were scheduled to start next week at 81 per cent of capacity, up a point. In the Youngstown area, however, there was Indication of a curtail ment if the automobile Industry's labor troubles spread. The magazine steel estimated world steel output in 1036 at more than 120,000,000 tons, an all-time record. U. 6. Steel declined nearly points.

Borne of the selling today was done by professional traders who covered just before the close, giving the market a steadier tone. Bonds opened higher and then turned irregular. South American Issues, outstanding features In the foreign list late last year, were again to demand. U. S. Government is sue were mixed In a narrow range vln light trading.

Lane county representative and , dairyman, will support amend ment to the mUk control act when the legislature meeta January 11 but oppose any effort to eliminate It entirely, he said today, 1 think the milk control theory h a good one. If any attempt la made to kill It entirely, I'd say leave the law alone." Laird said there was too great a price spread between the returns to the producers and the retail oast. He will study the basis for prices after the milk leaves the dairy farm, "Labor has the right to demand but the disputes should be settled without long strikes," he said. Lane county's single democratic representative, Dr. Orvllle Waller, will work for legislation In the In Icresta of the University of Oregon.

WOOL GROWER HEAD SPEAKER TO DAIRYMEN The cooperative marketing of dairy products leads the field In the vol ume of business bandlM by farm cooperative, Manager R. A. Ward of the Pacific Wool drover told the members attending tne annual patrons' meeting of the Mt. Angel Cooperative Creamery at Mt. Angel on December 31, 1936. In 1636 10,700 fanners' cooperative associations in the United States did b business of $1.5JO,000.000 and of this the dairy business handled products worth 1440,000.000, or 29 percent of the total dollar volume of cooperative busiiidfts in this country. As a director of the National Co operative Council and president of the Oregon Cooperative Council, Mr. WaM talked on national trends in cooperative marketing and national trends that affect the dairy business as a whole. "The cooperative marketing of dairy products dates back to as ear ly as 1810. when we find cheese be ing made and marketed cooperative ly at Foshen, Conn, and South Tren ton, New York," said Mr. Ward. "It seems that farmer cooperative en terprises which have been concerned with the handling of dairy products were the first to develop a satis factory operating technique." Mr. Ward warned the dairymen of the alarming situation which is de veloping in the Importation of for eign dairy products into this coun try. For the first eight months of the year these imports totalled slightly over $6,000,000, he said. This Is sur prising in view of the fact that the foreign price of butter, plus the tar iff. Is higher than the domestic price, and It is obvious, therefore, that some kind of a bounty or subsidy operation is being used by the coiuv tries which are sending In the for eign butter, in Mr. Ward's opinion. During the first 8 months of the year Imports of dry skim milk into the United-States totalled 15,500,000 pounds as against only 4000 pounds for the same period of 1935. In an attempt to meet this situa tion, the National Cooperative MUk Federation recently took formal ac tion by requesting the secretary of the treasury to Impose the counter vailing or the anti-dumping duty on Imports of butter which It is felt are coming Into the United 8tates under the conditions against which the tariff act of 1930 sought to pro tect domestic producers. Mr. Ward also called attention to the fact that another matter of great importance to the dairy Industry and to agriculture at large is the injury that Industry may suffer as a result of the new trade agreements act and the negotiation of the so- called reciprocal trade agreements with foreign countries. "I believe it is the opinion of the American farm ers that domestic markets should be kept for American agriculture," said Mr. Ward. Import duties lowered under these agreements principally affect im ports of cheese. In the first 8 months of this year the United States im ported from Canada 8,233.000 pounds of cheese, compared with 600,000 pounds for the same period of 193S. This Is an Increase of 1345 percent. Cheese stocks In the United States in October were about 8.000,000 pounds In excess of the five-year average. Problems confronting agriculture cannot be met by one irroup of farm ers or by one cooperative associa tion, Mr. Ward commented, but It will take the united efforts of all producers in working through their local, regional and national cooper ative associations. 521 DIE OF FLU DURING DECEMBER Chicago, Jan. 3 OP) Dr. Herman V. Bundesen, Chicago health com missioner, reported today that 521 persons died of Influenza and pneu monia In Chicago last month. In De cember, 1935, the same diseases took 330 lives. Unlike the Influenza of 1918, the dlsesse- this season was fatal only to those who previously were In an exhausted condition or who did not receive prompt attention, he said.

(Associated Press Photos) LUMBER MART SERIOUSLY HURT Seattle, Jan. a (U.R Drastic losses in both production and shipment of lumber due to the maritime strike, were revealed today for the eighth consecutive week for 202 down and operating mills in Washington and Oregon, according to the West Coast Lumbermen's association. These mills produced 61,126,347 board feet of lumber hi the week ending December 26, a reduction of 27,199,665 feet from the previous week, due largely to the holidays. Thirty-two mills were reported down during the week and the In dustry produced only 37J per cent of its average weekly cut during 1926-29. Orders for 88,943,069 board feet, taken by those mills, while 33,000, 000 less than the previous week were "unusual" for this time of year and during a holiday period, the association said. Most of the new business taken during the week was for shipments by rail, with orders for 56.772,441 board feeU For four consecutive weeks the volume of rail trade or ders has been greater than at any time since 1929, the association said. At the same time, they said, the mills dependent largely on water travel for shipments,, were either closed or on a drastically reduced operating schedule, due to the strike, the association reported. They estimated the total loss in water production and shipments, due to the strike, at approximately 360,- 000,000 board feet. More than 17,500 people have been thrown either wholly or partially out of employment by curtailment of water shipment, it was said. The association estimated payroll loss for the nine weeks to January 2. at approximately $3,150,000. STRIKERS ORDERED TO VACATE PLANT Flint. Mich., Jan. 3 OPt Circuit Judge Edward D.

I ANGLO-ITALIAN TREATY SIGNED ENDS FRICTION (Continued from page 1) Is an integral part of the Mediter ranean problem." The text of the agreement. It was announced, will be published Mon day. Meeting in this Chigl palace, Count Oaleazzo Ciano, Italian min ister for foreign affairs, and Sir Eric Drummond. the British ambas sador, signed the document this morning. It was considered probable the accord would assist In an eventual regulation of the Spanish civil war as a danger to the status quo of the Mediterranean. Informed sources have reiterated, however, that Italy does not intend to desert the Spanish fascist In surgents. The agreement was understood to begin with a general preamble to the effect the activities of the two countries in the Mediterranean were naturally not antagonistic but com plementary. The accord was understood to be strictly bilateral and does not con template the entrance of other countries, for example France. It was believed, however, the French foreign office would issue a statement approving the pact as in line with the Franco-British policy oi closer cooperation with Italy. Tne signing put the finishing touch on negotiations which began immediately after Premier Musso llnl's speech at Milan last Novem ber. II Duce assured England Italy did not intend to interrupt Britain's route through the Mediterranean to the far east but signified, at the same time, Italy did not plan to al low any country to bottle her up In the Mediterranean. He offered England, in effect, a "gentleman's agreement" defining their respective spheres of influence In the Mediterranean. British Foreign Secretary An-! thony Eden in a speech immediately after Indicated England was In ac cord with such suggestions and ne gotiations soon got under way. Paris, Jan. 3 (U.R Official France beheld the Italo-British" Mediter ranean agreement today as "a long1 step toward European peace." A foreign office spokesman char acterised the accord -as "ironing out international misunderstandings' and expressed hope the pact would draw Germany closer to England and France.
