...speech in the history of the American Iron and Steel Institute which, last week, gathered in public session in the ballroom of the Hotel Commodore, Manhattan. Before him, in front row chairs, were sitting the presidents of other steel companies. Chairman of the meeting was Bethlehem's Charles Michael Schwab. He opened the proceedings with a magnificent piece of the optimism for which he is famed. Then Mr. Farrell got up and began "...
