MANAGERS OF FINISHING WORKS
ARE BECOMING ALARMED
AT ITS SCARCITY.
Demand for Rails and Structural Iron
Is precedented-MIIs Working
Night and Day.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Sept. 21.-An
order for pig iron sent out by one of
the large finishing mills in this city
was returned the other day with the
remark that owing to the great de-
mand for rails and structural work
the mill which mad formerly turned
out pig metal and steel billets, is now
making rails. An investigation shows
that many of the big mills at Clarion
and Duquesne, which formerly made
bilets, are now turning out rails. The
managers of the local finishing works
are becoming alarmed over the scar
city of pig iron and rough steel and
fear that it will seriously interfere
with their ability to turn out their
orders. 1t is stated on good authority
that not enough pig iron and steel
billets will be turned out each week
for some time to come to supply the
demand. An investigation has been
ordered and in a few days the local
mills will prabably decide upon some
plan to remedy the trouble. The de
mand for rails and structural iron is
unprecedented and the mills are work.
