Pit.sburg Special to Philadelphia Times
Mr.. B. F. Jones owes his fortune to his shrewd-
ness in taking advantage Of an accident. About
thirty years ago, when the rolling mill of his
firm, then Jones & Lauth, could have stood on
9th avenue without obstructing the pavement
on either side, one of the workmen got his
heavy tongs, weighing about fifty pounds, fast
to bar of hot iron. The bar was already In the
Jaws of the rapidly whrling rolls There was
no time to release the tongs. and they went
through the rolls under ponderOus pressure.
Instead CT being crushed and broken they came

more use as tongS. but Il bar of iron OF high
polish and changed texture.
The Hrm made no fuss about It, but had q
quiet consultation among themselves. They set
TO work analyzing and experimenting. The re-
suit was that instead of a discharge the work
man who let the tongs go through cold got
