~ ONE startling statistics regard

made public by the annual
statistical report OF the American Iron
and Steel Association. They were
complied by James NJ. Swank, the
general manager of the association,
aud were presented to the members.
Mr.. Swank Is the publisher OF the Iron
and Steel Bulletin and o recognized
authority on the matter. His figures
may be accepted as reliable.
Pitttsbnrg, says correspondent OF
the New York Journal, has now twenty
seven blast furnaces, twenty mine steel
works and thiriy-four rolling mills.
In 1892, when the iron industry was
booming, there were produced in the
twenty.six blast furnaces (tbe nRmber
existing at that time) 1,775,257 gross
tons OF pig iron. In 1898, with one
moro furnace, the total production
was 1857, ,207, or only 7S,O5O tons
less.
This was the panic year during which
wages were cut lower and lower until
the workers rebelled and long strikes
were the result. In 1894, which was
also hard times year, the production
of pig ron was 1882, ,079, or GS22 tons
more than during the boom year OF
1892.
The report also shows that in 1892
there were sixty.two rolling mills and
steel works which produced 1,G05,9 ,974
tons Of crude steel. In the following G
year the decrease was only Is, 20l
