EIGHTY FIFTH
BIRTHDAY OF
JOHN FRITZ

After various experiments in steel
making at Norristown and Safe Har
Dor, Mr.. Fritz, in 1854, went to johns
town where he remodeled an old mill
and built what is now known as the
Cambria Iron Works. 1t was at this
period that in connection with his
brother. George, he designed and
erected the well-known three high
boomers with their automatic
tables and the three high mill.
These inventions started an economi-
cal revolution in steel manufacture.
In the early days of the Bethlehem
Iron Works the newly discovered
air through melted cast iron reached
America, and outside Of the few per
sons engaged in the experimental
plant at Troy, N. Y, there was none
more interested In the study of the
process than Mr.. Fritz. His expert
ments were conducted to a most sue
cessful issue
Mr. Fritz played an important part
| in the upbuilding Of the iron and steel
industry in eastern Pennsylvania only
| to see the center of steel production
shift to the westward, under the mag
| netic attraction of the ore supply.
But he is of the opinion that this
| tendency is not to be continued I'M
| interrupted. He says that some day
the east is again to become a great
iron and steel district His predic-
ton is based upon his faith in the
extensive ore resources of New York
New Jersey and Cuba, and in the per
lection Of the concentration and
roasting processes This unusual
prediction gains weight when COZ
sideration is given to the accuracy
with which Mr.. Fritz has forecasted
other industrial movements. Twenty
years ago he expressed the belief
that the Bessemer steelmaking pro-
cess in America was gradually to de-
cline and the basic open hearth pro-
cess would finally become supreme.
The latter was then an insignificant
factor in steel production but the ten
dency of the present is Enthusiastically
as he predicted.
Believes in Constant Work.
Mr. Fritz is firm believer in
work, constant, enthusiastic work.
In speaking on this subject he says:
Industry and application are the
/ keynotes OF my career. | studied at
night, spent long hours after 6 in
the mills, and while the other EN-
ployes were diverting themselves in
the usual way, l added to my sur.
plus kno Wedge. l learned some.
thing every day, studied things and
conditions outside Of the iron bust
ness, and after fifteen years of appli.
cation, | found | had acquired mo,
useful knowledge than college bred
men,"

Gus for his perfection of armor plate
processes and one of the grand old
men in the iron and steel industry.
flood of congratulatory messages
were received at his home in this
city. Among the senders were lead
ing members CT the engineering pro
fession in America and Europe, cap
tains of invention and industry ami

with the iron trade.
John Fritz Is the Nestor of the
iron trade in America. He began life
as blacksmith in 1888, and in his
long career has been identified with
almost every important step In the
process of making iron and steel
which has resulted in an increase of
the American product of a million
tons in 1888 to upwards of 25,O0O,OOO
in 1906 The browning effort of his
life was the conception, the design

Tie Culel 6uSluSel
from 1860 to 1893.
Mr.. Fritz is striking example OF
| the typical American, born of poor
parents, who were solid, substantial
and God-fearing. With only dis
trict school education. gained in the
middle part of Pennsylvania, he start
ed life with the stimulus and oppor-
tunity that American citizenship gives
and attained a position in the steel
industry that introduced into the
| United States the Bessemer steel
process A great economical revolu-
ton was thereby effected, from which
has flowed the tremendous develop
ment seen today in steel manufacture
in the United States. The leading
men in the industry today are the
pupils of John Fritz.
In 1898 the British Iron and Steel
Institute gave Mr.. Fritz the Bessemer
gold medal, which is about the high
est distinction SHOEMAKER can re-
ceive. In 1902, on the eightieth birth,
day of Mr.. Fritz, the occasion was
signalized by the founding of the
John Fritz gold medal for achieve
ment in the industrial sciences, the
medal being awarded annually by a
committee of the American Society
of Civil Engineers, the American
Society of Mechanical Engineers and
the American Institute of Electrical
Engineers.
Born in 1922.

Complete System Exists.
Chicago, Aug. 21.-That complete
system exists for placing the messages
sent by the Western Union and Postal
Telegraph companies in the hands Of
the officials of the Commercial Tele-
graphers' union is the statement made
bv Secretary Treasurer Wesley Rus
sell Of the union.
The statement followed the publica-
ton of kilograms said to have been
sent by Superintendent Capen of the
Postal to other offices Of the company,
showing the operating conditions to be
anything but favorable.
In line with this and the proposed
congressional investigation which will
be asked for by Congressman McDer-
mott. a member of the Photographers
union, it was said by Secretary Rus
sell that the dispatches given out
We're among the least important at
hand, that the more important ones
acquired will not be used until the
congressional investigation is an az
complished fact.
How do you get these kilograms p
Mr.. Russell was asked.
THAT is part Of the system was
the reply, "and the best ones never
will be made public. We won't let the
companies know that we have them
till the investigation Is on, and then
there will be surprises for someone"
