Iron Prices in America

Junk Is Eagerly Grabbed Up
by Foreign Nations.
New Orleans, La.—Between 5,000
and 10,000 tons of scrap iron are be
ing shipped from this port every
week, according to estimates, bound
to Italy, Japan, Poland, Belgium,
England, Germany and Mexico.
Huge piles of scrap iron, copper,
brass, aluminum and tin cans are
here one day and gone the next.
Relatively high prices are being paid
by foreign nations and the junk
business has brought boom times to
thousands in the scrap iron busi
ness.
Today great combines and syndi
cates are organized to handle the
nation’s castoff metals. They work
through the parent company down
to the ragamuffins of the alleys who
wander through the back streets
picking up iron, cans, brass and
copper to sell for a few nickels to
the local agent, who in turn, sells it
to a trucker. The trucker hauls it
to the company dump and again
sells it for a good profit. /
Goes for Armament.
The “junkers” know, and admit,
that a great part of the metal they
sell is going to be used in the manu
facture of munitions—which tome
time might be used against this
country. But, they say, they must
make a living.
Iron is bringing around cents
a pound in New Orleans Brass and
copper bring as much as 14 cents.
Aluminum sella for about the same.

cargoes of scrap for their vessels.
The rate is high—as much as $11
a ton, and a ton of iron takes far less
space than a ton of cotton which
pays about the same rate.
So great has been the demand
for tin in Italy that one enterprising
dealer sold a load of dismantled
taxicab doors to the Italian govern
ment. The doors were loaded into
an Italian freighter without having
the wood, upholstery or broken glass
removed.
Iron Is Conditioned.
Solid “chunk” iron brings the best
price. Before being loaded aboard
a freighter, the metal is “condi
tioned." Conditioning consists of
cutting the metal into pieces not
more than 5 feet long, 18 inches
wide and 18 inches thick. Steel rails,
ship plates, railroad wheels and
parts, form the most lucrative items
of the trade, but iron bolts, discard
ed flails, pipes, radiators all go into
making up a full cargo for a
freighter.
Rising foreign prices have made
it possible for the “junker” to sal
vage many iron objects formerly not
considered worth the effort. Tin
cans are being hauled from munic
ipal trash heaps and smashed by a
giant compressor into compact suit-
case-size parcels for cargo. The
tin brings a high price in foreign
countries.
A compressor for such work coals
about $35,000 and must have a large
market to enable the operator to
show a profit for its operation.
Foreign markets are paying as
high as $17.10 a too for New Or

told of prices obtained lor a cargo

of cartridge cases.

The other day a lady entered a
crowded street car. A negro man
rose quickly and
offered her his
seat. Courtesy
waits for the man
and expresses it
self through him
without thought
of race or social
caste. Courtesy
is the color of a
man’s regard for
a fellow human
being. It is an
element of char
acter that must
continue to be
long to personal
growth and not alone to truth, nor
time, nor trade. Thomas Jefferson
once rebuked his grandson who had
not acknowledged the courteous sa
lute of a negro, with these words:
“Do you permit a negro to be more
of a gentleman than yourself?" Ed
mund Burke, in giving counsel to a
young man regarding his servants,
said: “Never permit yourself to be
outdone in courtesy by your infe
riors.’* Courtesy is s virtue; s dis
tinguishing mark of a gentleman;
• culture and quality of the soul;
an express too of mind and heart;
a aval of personality which stamp*
one’s inner self. Assumed courtesy
is only cant, sham, and pretense
“I’M HAVING the time of my
* life," announced Helen B.,
whose husband just lost a lot of
money in a fire that destroyed his
place of business. “Because Frank
and I are back where we started
out, and in spite of all the ups and
downs we feel like honeymooners

“Of course, I’m doing my own
work because we can’t afford a
maid. It’s the first time I’ve really
worked in this kitchen.
“Till I really rolled up my sleeves
and went to work here, there were
more things wrong with this kitch
en! I wish I’d known before how
much time and energy it wasted
. . . after all it’s as good economy
to save the maid steps as to save
myself.
“Then I found that the cabinet
where we kept silver, dishes and
cutlery and mixing bowls was
across the room from everything
else, while the pots and pans and
groceries were on the other side of
the room near the stove. The re

she had seated us in a breeze,

In a split second, tbs standard of
courtesy may be revealed.
An old lady, carrying with great
difficulty a heavy suit case, got off
an elevated train at a Union station
terminal. Six young men passed
her unconcerned. Any one of the
young men might have done his
good turn for the day by assisting
the lady down the elevated stairs.
This is a passing incident colored by
the impersonal environment of a big
city. Yet it is typical of countless
number of similar discourtesies that
might be eliminated, if courtesy
were given a primal place in our
everyday thinking. Not long ago,
the writer was present in a small
assembly of persons when the moth
er of one of the group entered the
room. Only two of the men arose.
Was it ignorance or indifference?
What is the most plausible expla
nation of discourtesy? Perhaps no
better explanation could be given
than lack of respect for personality.
The tendency to think of a human
being as a case, a number, a mere
machine, plays havoc with our prop
er evaluations of human life. The
old lady was somebody’s mother.
Respect for motherhood per se
should be sufficient to call forth an
expression of the lost art of chivalry
common in feudal days. How prev
alent is respect for personality, re
gardless of age or social position?
Wealth is no criterion of culture.
Age does not justify discrimination,
nor present the only challenge for
politeness.
In these days of rush and strife
end strain, courtesy can be e quiet,
restraining hand. In these days of
experiment in human relations,
courtesy can become the moat pow
erful international bond: the white
flag of the toirtt.
