Year of business boom seen in United States
The article reports government officials predicting a record business year with a possible balanced budget despite the steel strike. Secretary Herter forecasts a hopeful world outlook while Secretary Mueller expects output near 500 billion dollars yearly within six months, with risks if strikes and inflation rise.

Two steel actions raise doubt about a quick settlement as the United Steelworkers Union files court actions over reports and unemployment funds.
