Oct. 16 (U.R) Steel shares led a late recovery in the stock market today that Hfted prices moderately from the day's early lows. Toward the close prices were irregular. The steels shot up fractions to more than a point, reaching new highs for the year and longer, in the face of a pessimistic re port of the American Iron & Steel Institute that the current soft coal mine strikes may force the mills to cut production to f35 per cent of capacity by Monday. Much of the forenoon and early afternoon soiling was at tributed by informed market quarters to profit-taking, since there has been little if any news sufficiently bearing to attract selling Commentators have em phasized that any adjustment now would only be natural aft er the recent extended price rise to a new peak since early March, 1937.

He said every youth entering the Industry should be medical ly examined and if liable to contract the disease must be given alternative employment. More doctors are needed to make the examinations and the government should take the re sponsibility of training the dis abled man for some other suit able work. A resolution has been pnssed by the South Wales Miners Fed eration expressing concern at the large and growing number of men suspended from the in dustry through contacting the disease and calling on tho gov ernment to establish suitable methods to enable the men to resume useful productive lives. Statistics show that in the past five years there have been 64.1 applications for death cer tificates and 7,465 disablement certificates.
