gun, the first meeting being n session in

All the old-ranec Bessencr ptoluccrs

Practically all the Mcsnb range IL repre-
scntrd ulsu, through the interests that
speak in the conference iur old-rnng'

agreement that would include the Mcn,-
b is considered utlirrrcmotc. Whether
the agreement uf the Marquette, Menomi-
nee, Gogrhic aud Nrrmilliun mining com.
punes producing Bcsscmer ores can bc
pcrpctunicd is mere speculation, up tu
this point. There are factors in the
situation pointing "a an affirmative
answer; some opposite considerations
appear. The agreement of the past
year hns been popular with furnaccmcn
in the guarantee az uniform prices it has
given II lms made no great money fuI
the mining cnnpairs, but IL has kept a
bud situation from being worse. Ther,
are conflicting virws ui tho outcome %
the present conference, One element
at least, will prove lcss tIouhlesom,

consumption uf Lake Superior ure'
