1t is not believed that Minneapolis plant
of the American Bridge company will be
affected by the consolidation scheme to be
put in effect by the United States Steel
corporation. The plant at Milwaukee will
probably be- consolidated with the new
works at Chicago.
The United States Steel Corporation is
expanding millions to effect big economies
in operation. The directors say that the
saving in expense as resultzof this pro-
gram will amount to between $lO, 900 OO
and $15,00O000 annually. The American
Bridge company is one of the subsidiary
companies and it's work in the entire
western district is to be handled largely
from Chicago. About $3,000,000 is to be
spent on an immense plant in Chicago,
which will be over a mile in length ana
so arranged that material can be handled
more cheaply and without hand labor.
This will duplicate the big plant to be
erected at Economy, Pa, this summer.
This immense addition to the capacity at
Economy and Chicago will allow President
G. M Schwab of the steel trust to carry
out his plans for concentrating the bridge
plants. =

:: Helena, Mont, April so.-The East Hell
ena smelter of the American Smelling and
Refining company is again tied up by a
strike and it is not expected the plant will
resume operations very soon, as lndlca-
lions point to a determined fight on the
part of the smelter management. 1t is
not question of wages, only that of un-
ionism, the union demanding that it be
recognized and the company refrain from
discharging union men. This, 1t is said,
the company will never do, having In
structed its manager to consult the men
but not a committee from the union.
Trouble has been brewing for some time
and it eliminated late last night when,
after an exciting union meeting, the men
decided to quit and the fires in three fur
naces were drawn.
