IT STEADILY GROWS
Mr.. Converse Tells About
Locomotive Construction.
BUSINESS HAS EXPANDED
Four Engines Are Made Now
Every Day.
BUSINESS HAS EXPANDED

Philadelphia, Dec 1s.-John H. Converse
member Of the firm Of Durham. VIZ
uams & Co, which controls the Baldwin
Locomotive works, appeared before the
Industry commission today. He stated
that the industry was established in 1881
and has constantly and steadily grown
until today the works are the largest in
the world. The capacity Of the plant is
I.290 locomotives a year. or practically
four locomotives for each working day
The capital employed Mr.. Converse esu
mated at not less than sl0,000.0c0 About
$500 hands are engaged al the works.
The foreign trade In locomotives. he
said. has been a growth Of the last forty
years. At first it was confined to Cu1a
and South America, but during the past
. years it has extended to the Eastern
hemisphere.
Mr.. Converse gave as reasons for the
Introduction of American locomotives
abroad, the possibility Of earlier delivery
preference for American locomotives as
to type. size and details and the question
Of price. Engines have been constructed.
witness said, at less cost per unit OF
weight than the ordinary foreign loeomo-
tive
In answer to a question by Chairman
Clarke, Mr.. Converse said the wages of
the firm employees are higher than those
paid abroad.
In that case" said Chairman Clarke,
"how can you produce locomotives at
less cost than the foreign product
Mr.. Converse said he believed this fact
to be due to the industry and intelligence
Of the America workman and the much
larger use Of -oved machinery here
than abroad,
As to the a n of speed Mr.. Con
verse stated than the substition of steel
rails for those Of iron permitted an in
crease of weight in engines which result
ed in a greater speed. The increase in
speed and capacity has brought about a
rductlon in the cost of transportation ana
operating.
Regarding tariff conditions. Mr.. Con
verse said that owing to the government
ownership system existing in most OF the
foreign countries no difficulty was ever
encountered in that respect
Asked as to the condition Of the indus
try Mr.. Converse said it is at present
more prosperous than at any time from
1898 to 1897.
Mr. Kennedy asked the witness if any
attempt has been made to combine all
the American locomotive works. Nj.
Converse answered in the affirmative, but
said the effort was unsuccessful His
firm opposed the project and he did not
believe locomotives could be built at
lower cost if such an idea was carried
out.
Everybody can be made to feel better
There is no limit to the usefulness Of
