TIE STEEL INDUSTRY
Phenomenal Development OF the
Iron and Steel industry in
America.
British Iron Trade Association
Appoints a Commissioner to
Investigate Situation.
Report Says 1t Is a Marvellous
and, TO British, Discourage
ing Story.

Washington, July 2i.-The phenom
email development of the iron and steel
industry of the United States led the
British Iron Trade Association to APP
| point commission last year to inquire
into the industrial conditions and COM
1 petition OF the United States The re-
port of that commission, which has
been recently presented. is briefly re-
viewed by the London Commercial
! Intelligence Il copy of which has just
reached the treasury bureau of statis-
tics. 1t says:
1T is, indeed. a marvellous, and. to
the British manufacturer and trader. in
some respects a most discouraging
story. The British iron trade commits
sion gives details of the mineral re-
sources of the United States as affect
ing that fundamental industry-the
Manufacture of iron and steel; show the
extraordinary richness of the principal
fields of coal, iron ore and kindred min
erals, and demonstrate by concrete eX-
amples how the natural inventiveness
of the American has enabled him TO
apply to the operations of production
and distribution q wealth of original
ideas and methods that are as yet little
known in Europe. 1t is also made mani
fest how, on land, on lake, on river, and
on canal, the American people have APP
piled their minds to the solution of the
conditions and problems OF cheap
transport until they have at last at
tanned a level of rates and charges such
as we have hardly had anyeXperience
of on this side of the Atlantic. 1t is not,
however. To be supposed that the trl-
umphs of the American people in these
matters have been achieved without eff
fort Much testimony is borne to the
fact that in the conditions of organiza-
ton and administration, in their deal
ings with labor, in the confidence and
enterprise with which they have en-
barSed on Industrial operations of
great magnitude. in the efforts made
TO adapt themselves to new conditions.
in the eagerness With which they have
endeavored to create new demands both
ut home and abroad. and in the care
and attention given TO the successful
cultivation of foreign markets, the
American people have labored strenu-
ously for many years. until labor in
genuty and enterprise have become
their most distinguishing charateris-
tics. When one has appreciated all
that the Americans have done for
themselves. it is neither natural nor
reasonable to srudge them the success
which has attended their labors.
"Commercial Intelligence" presents
the following picture of the relative
growth OF the iron and steel industry in
the United States and the principal
countries of the world:
