The house military committee charged war department officials were "woefully" lacking in protecting tne government's Inter ests in collecting but fifty-nine cents from the Mercur corporation, which cording to Frank Purnell, president has been operating an 11 million of the loungstown bneet 6z luoe to. While the year 1934 has equaled the preceding year in volume of busi ness and rate of operations," he said in a year-end statement, "we have been disappointed that exhausted stocks have not been replenished to a greater extent and that needed new plant construction and replace ments have not developed. Scarce Compensation. The volume of business has scarcely compensated the steel in dustry for the wage increases it placed in effect. The steel industry favors maintenance of wages and a proper standard or living; an in creased volume of business would be of inestimable help in this direction. "Plant rehabilitation projects, such as pipe lines, roads and bridges. homes and office buildings, power houses, locomotives, large plant re pair and improvement programs have not been undertaken to the ex tent expected. Undoubtedly uncertainties about monetary stability, interferences with peaceful labor conditions "and doubts about the results of heavy governmen tspending and unbalanced budgets have impeded the flow of credit and retarded recovery. It is encouraging to feel that the national administration now seems more con fident in private enterprise and the American economic system. This at titude, if maintained and followed, should have a good effect upon busi ness recovery. "I believe that assurances of a balanced budget, monetary stabiliz ation, co-operation between employe and employer, and co-ordination of governmental and business aims, would make 1935 a year of progress."

"Of this sum only ?8 In casn has been sent into the treasury of the United States. "Since the money that was paid into the treasury was paid as part of the operating expenses, only 59 cents of this $8 was contributed by the Mercur corporation and the bal ance of $7.41 was paid from money equitably belonging to the United States. "It appears the government itself has paid into the Mercur corporation or storage $45,000 in cash. During the eight years since the Mercur corporation has been In possession of the property it has collected the total sum of more than $4,500,000 and paid out in expenses more than million dollars."
