HEAVIER STEEL RAILS
FOR RAILROADS.
Agreement Reached Between
Manufacturers and Roads
on Specifications.

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-Former Judge
Ebert H. Gary, chairman of the United
States Steel Corporation, stated yester-
day that the steel rail manufacturers
and many of the railroads had reached
a satisfactory agreement in regard to
specifications for steel rails. The neW
specifications provided, he said, for a
heavier rail with improved section and
with the practise in manufacture m
what improved. The additional cost of
the new rails, if any, is to be paid by
the purchasers,
Numerous conferences were held in
this city in the summer and fall be-
tween the representatives of the lead
ing railroads and the steel rail manu-
features to decide upon specifications
for an improved rail because of the
great increase in the number of
broken rails all over the country. There
was a considerable discussion at tho
time as to whether the Bessemer or
the open hearth process was the best,
and whether a heavier rail was not
needed to meet modern traffic condi-
tions. The final outcome of the o
ferences was never made public. and
Judge Gary is the first to throw any
light on the question.

LOCOMOTIVE WORKS LAYS
OFF LARGE NUMBER OF MEN.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. o.-len
thousand men have been laid off since
December by the Baldwin LOCOMOTIVES
Works of this city because of a lack oil
orders for engines. Samuel M. Vau-
claim, a member of the firm. in speak
ing of the conditions at the works, said:
mo substantial orders have come In
since December. We have received a
few scattered orders, and we are work
ing upon these now. Whereas we were
formerly turning out about sixty loco
motives a week, we are now turning
out only twenty, and we will have fin
ished up all Il work in a short time.
Then. unless we receive some substan-
tial orders in the meantime, we will
have to close. Our full working force
is about 10000. but the lack of orders
has compelled US to lay off 10000 work
men since December. The heaviest lay
offs started about January l."
What has been responsible fol-
this ?" was asked.
Lack of orders not only from Amer
lean, but European sources. Japan i
in financial trouble and Is sending us
no orders at all. 1t is the same every
where, not only in America, but II
foreign countries from which we for
merly have received orders"

IDLE MEN RETURN.
Rush Orders Enable Company TO
ReemplOY Men.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. 5.-Dnc
thousand men formerly employed by
the PENNSYLVANIA steel Company at
Steclton. Pa, have been called back to
work after an enforced ILLNESS of more
than a month. Rush orders from New
York for structural material for
municipal buildings and an order for
rails from the New York City Railway
Company warranted the company in in
creasing its present force to ?, 500 men,
or about 40 per cent. Of the normal
force.
e.. c.. FELTON,, president of the steel
company said: I'VE received rush orders
for some special material and we de-
cided to give work to some of u men
who have been die for several weeks.
Orders now on hand will keep the in
creased force busy for the next month.
We are receiving more inquiries, and
there is reason to believe that the bust
ness situation Is improving. AS soon
as the railroads decide upon their
methods of financing their obligations
orders will begin to come in rapidly"

improving.

At the offices of the United States
Steel Corporation the announcement is
made that the $4,000 shares of pre-
.ferred stock offered to employees Under
the proft-sharing plan Of 1908 on q
basis of $3.50 a share, have hcen taken,
The amount was largely over1sub-
scribed. On a basis of $3.50 a share
the stock will cost the employees aboHt
50, 200, 900.
A representative Of the United States
Steel Corporation made the following
comment on fhc steel situation:
There has recently been an inn
provement in the steel trade and or
ders show some increase. That rcH-
sumers are favorable toward the ef-
forts Of manufacturers TO prevent
prices from reaching a denloraiiaihs
level is evident from the fact that o
ders are beginning to show an in
crease. Whether the business OF the
company will continue to expand 1
cannot say, but it is certain that the
policy of steel producers will not serve
to retard a recovery.
II should judge that manufacturers
representing considerably oyer IS per
cent. of the steel and iron trade of the
country favor the maintenance Of steel
prices at the present level. The state
ment that these manufacturers have
agreed to maintain prices Is erroneous
Manufacturers nave simply gone on
record as stating that in their. opinion
a change at this time would benefit
neither producer nor consumer. So far
there have been 10 changes in finished
steel prices. 1t is possible that there
ma be undertaking on the part OF
certain interests, and naturally steel
manufacturers working in harmony to
properly regulate conditions would
have to meet such reductions. But
this mere guesswork. We are doing
nothing that would tend to stine COM
petition. On the other hand our eff
forts will be directed toward the
strengthening of all steel companies,
both large and small"
While the domestic steel trade Is dull
