STEUBENvILLE INDUSTRIAL.

The employees of the HartZe paper
mill received an extra dollar bill in
their envelopes on the Saturday before
Christmas.
The Acme glass works closed down
on Christmas, and it shut down on
December 20 till January 2, which will
make it the shortest holiday shutdown
they ever had.
The resignation of Superintendent
w. H. Bradley at the Mingo Junction
plant of the Aetna-Standard, came as
a surprise to everybody acquainted
with industrial plants in the valley. but
it is regarded as part of the general
shake-up of minor officials the National
Steel Company is making, in order to
cut down the salary list. Mr.. Brad
ley has been connected with the steel
department of the Mingo mill for II
years, and he was regarded as one of
the best posted men in his line there
was anywhere, and his resignation is
regretted.
The Ohio Valley Fire Clay Company
has put in four new kilns, 80 eeet in
diameter, and two large stocks have
been added to the yard. Large addi-
tions have been made to the main
building, which will give a larger area
of floor TO dry pipe, and the out
put of the plant will be greatly in
creased. Two presses are now in oper-
alton and another new n will be
added, as well as a pipe turner, which
will facilitate the handling of the
pipes. The Ohio Valley has Is kilns,
and pipe is being sold SO fast it is
often taken hot from the kilns. They
were shut down but Christmas of the
holiday season. The increased capac-
ity of the plant will employ many adj
ditional men. These extensive addi-
lions and improvements makes the
Ohio Valley a model for that line OF
business.
1t is rumored that the main Office of
the Aetna-Standard will be removed
from Bridgeport to Mingo Junction,
and all the company's mills at Bridge
port are to be moved to Mingo and To-
Gated on the Adams farm, below Cross
Greek. 1t is given out that Samuel
Mcdonald, of Youngstown. will sue
