SCHWAB AFTER
BIG CONTRACTS
Hopes to Build 5000 Cars
Here For Hartman
System
TO EMPLOY 5000 MEN HERE

with the determination Of the Bethle-
hem Steel CORPORATION to start the
manufacture of pressed steel cars at
its Harlan and Hollingsworth plant, a
bid will be made for the contract for
5000 cars. which viii soon be awarded
by the Hartman railraad systems.
It is confirmed at tho offices Of the
Bethlehem Steel Company that thcre
has not been any merger Of that COM
pany and the Harlan and Hoilings
worth Corporation. None was neces-
ssry, as the interests headed by Charles
M. Schwab. president Of the Bethlehem
Steel Corporation. acquired control of
the Harlan and Hollingsworth plant
through the shipbuilding deal. and have
held It since.
Both plants will be benefited by the
establishment cf the car industry, as
most of the material for the cars will
be made in Bethlehem. Both of the
Bethlehem and wilmington plants will
be equipped TO make wheels. axles and
bumpers, but all the steel will be press
ed at Bethlehem. both for the pressed
steel cars and for the boats and ships
built at Wilmington. The steel will
be shipped from Bethlehem to Will
mington. and will be cut there.
The size of the car shops will de-
pend on the contracts that can be Sc
cured. but no effort VIII be sapred to
get all the orders possible. With this
end in view. the sales department cf
the Bethlehem Steel Company has late
ly been strengthened and a thorough
canvass, almost worldwide IN its
scope, was made of the possibilities of
securing orders for pressed-steel cars.
Extraordinary efforts will also he
made to get contracts for boats to Re
built at the Wilmington yards. for
which the Bethlehem plant will make
the machinery and the steel plates.
There are 1900 men on the pay rolls
at Bethlehem and about 1900 at the
Harlan and Hollingsworth plant. MIR.
Schwab is anxious to see as soon as
possible 1900 men working at Bethle-
hem and 5000 at the local plant.
