Another Trade Combination.

St. Louis, Jan. 5.-The Age of Steel
prints the state ment, on authority largely
interested in the iron trade, that a scheme
is on foot to pool the entire pig iron indus
try of the country. The plan is to divide
the country into six districts, each to be
represented in pool on a basis made up
from the tonnage and producing capacity
of the district, and the profit and earning
capacity per ton, as shown by the work of
a series of years. Each furnace in a dis
trict is to share in the districts share of
the general pool, on a basis to he deter
mined in the same way. One of the chief
objects of the scheme is TO ascertain the
exact product of pig iron in the
country, and with this information
in the hands of the executive
commissioner having authority, shut
down can be ordered at any time to let the
demand catch up with the supply, and pri-
ces thus be made regular and steady. 1t is
also proposed that at any time when fur
naces are ordered stopped for any reason,
each will draw its share of the profits from
the pool as though it were in full blast.
The Age of Steel says that the scheme
originated among the furnace men of the
Lehigh valley, and that strong efforts will
be made TO carry it out among the furnace
men in other parts of the country, and that
this is the first public notice of il.
