to question its validity DIR. Ben l..
Reitman, the friend of the hobo, will
undertake the task of carrying it to

arrested for vagrancy and to take the
necessary steps for carrying the ques

United States Corporation Will

GREAT ENGINES DISPLACED
Experiments With Substitutes for Coal

cessfui.

Pftsburg, Pa, July THAT the cost
of the production of steel may be re-
duced few cents 4 ton millions of dol
lars are to be spent in new machinery for
the plants of the United States Steel
cooperation, and almost a hundred en-
gines are to be relegated practically to
the scrap heap.
This step will probably take two or
three years to complete, but it is as
Isured by the experiments that have
been carried on at the Edgar Thomson
plant of the corporation at Braddock,
where the experiments have been along
the lines of abolishing coal in favor of
gas as fuel and using the gas that
blows from the blast furnaces.
VIII DispIace Great Engines.
Among the engines to be discarded
are two vertical engines which, with
two others like them. in 1908 supplied
the power needed at the worlds fair in
st. Louis. They represented in 1909
The perfection of engine building. AT
ter the exposition they were purchased
by the steel corporation.
Ii will be but three or four years at
most in all probability before these
monsters have been discarded. sent to
the scrap pile, or sold for inferior work.
At Gary, Ind, where new plant is
being built, 20 or more of the new en-
gines will he installed to furnish power
and to blow" the furnaces. These en-
gines are said 10 cast about $3.50. 900
each, and the cost for engines alone at
this plant will be about $3,GO0,000.
Vast system of Pipes.
Besides there will be a great expendi-
ture for the vast system of monster
pipes for carrying the gas from the
blast furnaces and for its purification
before it can be used in the engines.
When this new method is completed
gas will be the only fuel used The
gas from the furnaces, refined in the
washers which are part of the huge
pipage system and exploded in the cyl
. :ndars of enormous engines, will blow
the furnaces and produce the electric
power used in the rail mills.
