A LOST CONTRACT.

Some time ago the IntellIgencer told
OF the immense sewer pipe contract
that would possibly be secured by the
sewer pipe people OF the upper Ohio
valley and eastern ohlo-several hun
dred thousand feet OF pipe. large and
small, for the sewerage of the city Of
New Orleans. This contract. which
would have been the largest ever given
for sewer pipe In this country. was TO
have been handled Jointly by the TWEEN
ty-four plants OF the combine Of Ohio
valley manufacturers.
Hon. Frank H. Smith, OF New Cum
berland, Hancock's representative in
the house Of delegates. and also largely
interested In the sewer pipe industry
was In the city yesterday on a busi-
ness visit, and In the course OF con-
veraation with an Intelligencer repor-
ter was asked rs to the New orleans
contruct. He replied that the contract
would probably be lost for the reason
that the Scottish manufacturers OF sew
er pipe can lay their pipe In New or
leans cheaper than the manufacturers
OF Tue ONll FAiEgs iva pm e-'a
brought across as ballast in vessels
that are TO load ut New Orleans. max
ing the freight charge practically moth
inE. The Scotland manufacturers put
out pipe that is fully as good as the
American article and have the advan-
tage OF lnbor that Is considerably low
er than the AmericAp. II this contract
had been secured By the Ohio wiley
manufacturers the pipe would have
been shipped to New orleans on harEes
at freight charge vastly loweE than
by raEl. but ballast freights and low
priced foreign labor knocked them out,
or, at least. probably will, as the con-
tract has not yet been given.
Mr.. Smith says the starting up OF the
MarkIe sewer pipe works Mt Toronto,
will probably have the effect OF break
ing up the combine OF Ohio valley and
eastern Ohio pipe manufacturers which
has been In effect for over a year. The
Marklepeopleare notin the combine and
kle people are not in the combine and
for this reason win probably cut under
the combines scale Of prices. Unless
something IS done the former disas-
trously low prices will be in vogue
again to the detrlment OF this import
ant industry.
Mr.. Smith says that his town, New
Cumberland, Is making an effort to Sc
cure diversified Industries AT present
there Is very little there outside OF the
brick and sewer pipe Industries. y
broom factory and a canning e5tab-
lishment are among the new plants that
win probably be located there In the
near future.
