'The town of Marion. Ohio. in which I
live" said Mr.. George D. LiPpencott who
is here with the hotel men, has Ions been
famed for its manufacture Of steam
shoyels. In fact. the inventor Of that use
fun implement was a Marion man. and
here was established the first factory for
turning out the shovels. In time dther
places got to making them but Marion
kept its primaCy. and the business grew
TO enormous proportions. making of the
founder a very rich man before he died.
"Of course. the railroads were the chief
customers. but the demand from this
source was constant and so heavy that
the Marion works were always full Of
orders so fun that they did not care 20
make bids on shovels for Use on the Pan
anna Canal. This was some time ago. To-
day. while the factory is still running. it
is with a largely decreased force. one
thousand men have been laid off. and the
night shift has been abolished. If any
orders for the canal could he had now
they would be gratefully accepted I un-
derstand the reason for the stagnation is
that since the campaign against the rail-
ways started up, to be continued with 50
much vigor. the demand from the
companies for shovels is nothing ike so
heavy as in the old days before the Fed
eral government and all the States joined
In the war against the railroads."
