The knockers against the rolling

at the mill this morning,
where the bar mill was turning out
continuous rail joint bars without a
hitch and the bars were going hrst 10

a continuous stream. The rolls were
working beautifully. The little mill
was working on seven-eighth inch
round iron with both furnaces, and the
nut and bolt machines were going, W.

full capacity. The bolt threading ma
chine was working to its limit, as were
the nut and bolt threading machines

were running.

Joe Scholl, the roll turner, who fin
shed the set of rolls for the steel

every way to the samples sent TO the
