ton Of 50 technical and comprehensive

it clear that Canada wants, above ey-
erything, access TO the sea.
The American counsel state that ey-
cry effort will be made by them to con
vince the tribunal that the treaty con

referred to the great Importance Of the
case and concluded with saying:

David 7. Watson Of Pittsbnrg, Of

for the United States, describing the
purchase OF Alaska and stating that

map issued by Russia in 1926, one year
after the treaty with Great Britain
and that no protest was made against
the boundaries therein fixed, either By
Great Britain or by Canada.

ton of pig iron beginning Oct.
The Bessenler Furnace association,
which controls d number Of furnaces
in the Mahoning and Shenango val
legs, has consented TO the arrangement,
but the details have not yet been
agreed upon 1t is certain, however,
that a number Of furnaces in the val-
legs will be put out of blast on the first
of the month, but the number has not
been decided upon A falling off in
the demand for pig iron is an indica-
ton Of falling of in the demand for
finished iron and steel products. i
has been suggested that the only way
to keep the mills running through the
winter months is 70 look for new mar
kets, and the prospects for business
abroad are being considered.
The United States Steel corporation
may close all it's sheet steel plants il
I the near future unless the Amalgamat
