Company and the National steel Com
pany, Will leave tomorrow morning in

spection tour of the mills OF the Ma

Schwab, G. G. Murtry, president OF the
American Sheet Steel Corporation, and
w. T. Graham, a director of the COM
pany. all of whom left the city on
west-bound trains tonight, refusing TO
give their destination.
This inspection has been anticipated
for some time, and owing to this fact
All the plants have been kept in fine
condition. The Wheenng section Is
considered one of the most important
out of the Pittsburg district W. T..
Graham is the former president of the
Aetna-Standard mill, and is well known
in this section Their coming may
mean some Improvements to the plants
in this city and on the other side
Some people who are in close touch
with the local situation are OF the be-
lief that ii means several additions to
the present mills.
For some time it has been a we'll
known fact that the Laughlin Tin Plate
Company of the American Tin Pfaee
Company have been making surveys
south Of their plant in Martins Ferry.
the supposition being that the plant
would be enlarged and that the COM
pany expected to buy considerable
property and enlarge the Laughlin
plant, making 1t the greatest tin plate
plant in the world.
G.. G. McMurtry, president OF the
American Sheet Steel Company, 1t is
thought, will make a thorough inspec-
ton of the Aetna-Standard plant, ow-
ing to the fact that 1t is one of their
ideal sheet mills and turns out such
good work under the supervision OF
Manager N. V. f. Wilson and District
Manager Henry Cooke.
This inspection will probably include
the mills at Cambridge, Canal Dover
and New Philadelphia. The Bellaire
q
lie, but from the most reliable sources
it is learned that plans for additions
to this plant have been drawn. with
the object of making 1t one of the up
to-date plants of the United States Steel
Corporation. The Mingo plant will
also be inspected, as the improvements
and new additions to this plant are of
such modern makes that its operation is
a very important feature to the trust.
They may wish to adopt the Mingo for
other mills. The Mingo plant is said
to be one of the most modern in the
country.
What this visit means to Wheeling is
perplexing While all the mills are in
splendid condition ana working stead
lily, their special visit to this city is
expected TO have considerable TO do
with the Riverside plant. which Is
making many additions and extensions.
The coke plants of this concern will
also be fully considered.
President Schwab has once before
visited a portion of the trust plants in
this section. w. T. Graham, who is so
familiar with the great advantages of
this valley, takes much interest in its
development
