lin Plant.

lin Plant.
Pittsburg, Pa, March 24-The Ga
zette says:
Inc visit of Charles NJ. Schwab,
president of the United States Steel
corporation, to PittsDurg, is chiefly In
furtherance OF the negotiations for the
acquisition of the mills, furnaces and
coal and ore lands of the Jones &
Laughlin Steel company. 1t is reported
that Mr.. Schwab will make a personal
inspection of the local plants of the
company, but whether he does or not
look over the mills and furnaces him
self he will secure from inspections by
experts an excellent idea of the value
Of the machinery and the other things
that ought to be known before a pur-
chase is made.
Tentative proposals to buy out the
Jones & Laughlin interests were made
before the Union Steel company was
acquired by the corporation, but the
Jones & Laughlin company was averse
to disposing of it's big plants. Later
it became known that the big indie
pendent manufacturing firm might sell
if it gets its price said to be $S0,000,-

Enormous Profits.

That the United States Steel corpo-
ration shows no sign of diminishing
business is clear from the fact that for
the March quarter the total net results
will be about $3O,OO0.O0O. or 1884. 600
more than for the corresponding period
of last year. The net balance last year
after deducting the preferred dividend
and setting aside $3O.625OOO for inter
est and depreciation, was $45,195, 900
or 8 per cent on the common stock
Assuming that $4,000, 900 is set aside,
this year for depreciation, improve
ments, interest, etc, and deducting
this from the estimated $136.547 900
for the year ending March 81. and SOL
Oo0 600 remains as the balance appli-
cable to dividends. After paying $35.-
10000. or Z per cent on the preferred
there will remain $55.3 900, or nearly
IL per cent for the common stock, or
100000 more than last year.

Detroit, Mich-"The decision of the
anthracite coal strike commission is
on the whole a decided victory for the
miners, and | am pleased with it," said
President John Mitchell of the United
Mineworkers of America, in an inter
view. The anthracite miners of Penn
sylyania have reason to be much pleas
ed with the commissions award and
| am sure they are" he added.
In reply to a question as to whether
the miners were given as much as had
been hoped for, Mr.. Mitchell answered,
after an instants deliberation, Il do
not care to say"
The most important feature of the
award" he continued, 'is, of course,
the increase of 10 per cent given to
the miners. This will result in an an
nual increase in the wages of 100000
anthracite miners of Pennsylvania OF
$6,0O0,000. The sliding scale provided
for by the commission is very salts
factory, inasmuch as a minimum OF
$3.50 per ton is fixed With white
ask coal at $3.50 per ton at tidewater,
the increase provided in the sliding
scale will be equivalent to 20 per cent
more in the miners wages"

three parts and add each amount to
the three ensuing regular paydays, the
first of which will fall due on March 80.
