WORKMEN LEAVING CORNING.

The Monopoly on the Manufacture of Elec-
trio Light Bulbs Broken-A Secret Re-
ccipt for Making Them = Other Manu-
facturers on an Equal Footing.
The Corning gis,. strike remains un-
settled, although matters are looking more
encouraging for victory for the workmen.
II turns out now that the firm of Hough-
ton & Co. had monopoly on the manufact-
ure of electric light bulbs. used by Edison
exclusively, and other manufacturers have
been drawn into sympathy for the success of
the men, because it will put them on an
equal footing with Houghton & Co., who
had secret receipt for making these
glass bulbs by hand, which made them more
durable than those made in the paste molds,
and theirs was the only factory in the
United States where that kind of bulb was
made.
The suspension of business, by reason Of
the strike, created great scarcity in bulbs,
some of the local electric companies not be-
ing able TO get a sufficient number to keep
their customers supplied.
Secretary Dillon, of the A. F. G. w. o.,
said yesterday that within the next week
they would take away over 60 men from
Corning TO put them in another factory where
bulbs will be blown. To prove that Hough-
ton s. Co. had a monopoly on the bulb
trade, Mr.. Dillon stated that they employed
$40 blowers and 1,05O hands, or
a number equal to any eight local
factories. The men were paid 81 40
a day when they should have been paid
81 IS. This gave the firm an UNEQUAL ad-
vantage over other manufacturers. While
Mr.. Dillon declined TO say where the men
are to 60, he thought it would not be long
until they would be able to prove to the
firm at Corning that il will be to their ad-
vantage to grant the demands of the men.

AN IMPORTANT TEST.
Carbon Iron Company Trying to
Improve the Quality of Steel.
ADDING A PORTION OF ALUMINIUM.
A Monopoly in the Making Of Electric
Light Bulbs Broken.
EIGHT,HOUR MOVEMENT DEFEATED

An important experiment, by which it is
intended to demonstrate the practicability
of making aluminium steel is now in progress
at the Carbon Iron Company's Works on
Thirty-second street.
The company has recently received n
valuable contract for steel from the Govern
ment, the material which is known as pro-
tective deck steel, to be used in the con-
struction of cruisers. 1t has long been re-
garded as a iact that aluminium improves
the quality of steel, and the company has
started out to discover to what extent this
Improvement can be carried.
The first experiment was made last week.
The work was done by the open-hearth
process until the point where the liquid
metal is poured from the ladle into the
molds was reached. Here, instead of
using top cast, bottom cast was substi-
tuted; and, instead of pouring the metal di-
rect into each mold separately, it was poured
into runner filling simultaneously a
whole group OF j molds.
An Unexpected Outcome of the Affair.
The experiment worked all right until a
quantity of aluminium was thrown into one
OF the molds when the whole mass Of metal,
which was rapidly filling up the mol6s and
was IN state Of ebuilition, came in contact
with the aluminium, Its progress was arrested
and the liquid steel set, or became solid.
This, of course, did not produce theresults
aimed at and another experiment was made
with greater success. The aluminium was
added earlier in the subsequent test and an
immediate and thorough union of both
substances resulted.
Mr.. H. W. Lash, superintendent of the
Carbon Iron Company, was seen at the
works yesterday afternoon. At first he was
inclined to be non-committal in regard to
the matter, saying that the experiments had
not been carried through vet and he was
satisfied that all the results attainable by
the process he had followed had not yet
been reached. But he said they had gone
lar enough TO demonstrate beyond a doubt
that aluminium steel is a success.
What we want TO do" Mr.. Lash con-
tinued, is to improve the quality of sieel.
1t has been accepted for some time that
about One-tenth of per cent of aluminium
added 10 the steel, increases its strength and
ductility.
Large Contracts Almost Within Sight.
ave have gone farther. We have used
from two-tenths to three-tenths per cent, and
find it increases the quality in proportion.
We use the aluminium manufactured by the
PittSburg Reduction Company, and 1 am
satisfied we can raise the grade of steel. and
while we are only beginning to do work for
the Government, it will not be long until
we will get larger contracts. The Gov
ernnent is very particular about the quality
OF steel, and will always place contracts
where the best material can be furnished.
What we are aiming at is to harden our
steel with carbon and toughen it by the use
of the aluminium, and 1 think before long
we will have the process perfected and can
produce astonishing results

TOO MUCH COAL MINED.

Capt. O'Neil Says the Production Last Year
Was 100, ,OOO, 900 Bushels.
Captain w. w. O'Neil went to Louis
vile last night on coal business. The water
is low now, and if the boats could run there
would be no coal to go out The Captain said
that the production last year was 100, 000, 900
bushels, and he thinks it is not good plan
TO mine so much in one season. The
market was overstocked and low prices pre-
vailed.
he says there is no necessity for such
activity, and at the present rate Of produc-
tion the coal will soon play out.
