LAST MONTH WAS
RECORD BREAKER
In Actual Business Done In Iron
and Steel
SHIPMENTS FALL EEHIND
Pig Iron Production Is 2,565,9 Tons,
Which is 2oe,2s5 Tons More Than
the Previous Record Month,
October 1907.
SHIPMENTS FALL EEHIND

Cleveland, o, November 3.-(Special)
The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will
say: October was a record breaker
in actual business done in iron and
steel. During other periods of pros
perity, contracting, which was really
little more than giving an option to
buy, was at a heavier rate, but during
last month, the Steel Corporation cont
panies and numerous independent in
terests booked for definite rolling the
largest aggregate tonnage of finished
products ever recorded.
Mills are falling farther behind in
shipments, particularly in the smaller
sizes of steel bars. and for this reason
quotations, when made, are often nomf-
nal
The natural consequence of the slow
deliveries being made by the mills is an
increased demand from jobbers and
prices from store have advanced sharp
ly, the maximum quotations in some
cities now being 81 per ton higher on
bars and structural material than they
were two or three weeks ago.
The new high record for pig iron
production established by September
has been exceeded by 1S7,sS0 tons, the
production for October being 2,565.sS5
tons, which is zoe, 295 tons more than
was made in October, 1907. which
month held the record until September
of this year.
The Corporations pig iron output
during October was about 1,2So,OO0
tons compared with 1,157,370 tons in
September.
The ingot output of the Corporation
in October was about 100000 tons,
compared with 1,302.O74 tons in Sep
TENDER.
In spite of a week of stormy wealth
err. new October record for ore sh ip
ments from the Lake Superior region
has been made, the total being 100000
tons, or nearly 100000 tons more than
the previous October record of 1907.
Reservations for Bessemer ore are
being rapidly made, and one interest
reports that all of this trade that 1t
can mine next year has already been
spoken for.

NEW RECORDS IN
FLYING MACHINES

College Park, Md, November S.-Flying
records were broken in more than one
way on the government aviation field to-
day. Lieutenants Humphreys and Foul
lois of the signal corps remained in the
air 61s4 minutes and in doing so exceeded
all endurance records that have been
made by any of the Wright pupils in
America.
AS a two-man fight it was but 1014 min
utes short Of the longest previous record
made by Wilbur Wright, and it exceeded
by three minutes the endurance flight
made by Lieutenant Lahm alone last
Monday.
The second noble fight of the day was
with Lieutenant Commander Sweet of the
nayyeas a passenger. Mr.. Sweets weight
was II pounds In excess of that of any
other passenger who has been taken up
here. Two unsuccessful efforts were
made by Mr.. Wright to carry Mr.. Sweet
as a passenger. Lieut.. Lahmn accomplish
ed the feat after one false start and
remained in the air ~ minutes. Wilbur

his brother, Orville, upon his return from

FOREIGNERS ON STRIKE
Three Thousand Employees of Pressed
Steel Car Co. Refuse to Work Until
Imported Men Are Discharged

PITTSBURG, Pa, Sept. IA new
strike developed at the Pressed Steel
Car company'S plant at Mckee's Rocks
today, when 5000 foreigners employed
by the company refused to go to work
and gathered around the entrance TO the
works. The strike, ii is stated, is not
organized, and is based upon the de-

The American workers at the plant are
said not to be in sympathy with the
movement.
Chairman c.. 4. Wise of the strikers
executive committee expressed the belief
that he would soon have the situation
we'll in hand. He is now ut work among
the foreigners and expects an early adj
justment of the trouble.
At the offices of the company ii was
stated that no grievances had been pre-
scented and nothing official was known
of the new movement The strike caused
much excitement in and about Schoen-
vile, but there was no demonstration
aside from the foreigners assembling
about the gate
Later several hundred Americans quit
work. The absence of the foreigners.
they said, neCcSsitated their coming out.
The nam grievance, it is said, is the
employment of large number of men,
imported during the late strike. in the
capacity of bosses and sub-bosseS. The
men say that one of the agreements by
which the last trouble was settled was
that all of the imported men should be
discharged.

he declared to me his firm belief in the
teachings of our holy faith.

passed the way of all the earth will Mr..
Harriman's career stand out brilliantly in
the pages of history.
We are proud to know that he achieved
all this distinction without violating the
minutest principle of the great laws or
morality There never was an instance
(and I say it with all the knowledge of the
criticism made) when he was not able to
more than vindicate himself. To those who
maligned and misrepresented him he showed
no resentment, but was willing always to
allow time to prove his case, and the proof
never failed. He remained throughout all
those trying years sweet tempered, ami
able, loveabe.
He was a burning and shining light. God
be thanked for such lives

CAPTAIN PHELAN DEAD.
Was Noted in Irish Campaigns and Once
Accused of Treason to the
Cause.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Sept. 10
Capt. Thomas Phelan, who was charged
with treason to the cause of Ireland by
O'DOnovar Rosa, chief of the dynamite
campaign against Great Britain and was
murderOusly attacked in ROsSa's New
York office, January 10. 1885. died in
this city, which had been his home for
twenty-five years.
Capt. Phelan was born i'll Ireland in
1886, but travelled much about the world
and won the reputation of an expert
with the broad sword and the pistol. He
served with distinction in the Union
army and was promoted for gallantry
III action.
His activities in the Irish cause first
became generally known after he had
been nearly killed by Richard Short in
New York. 1t then developed that Capt.
Phelan had gone to England from Amer
lea in 1888, about the time that ten
men were sent from this country by the
leaders of the Fenian cause here, for
the purpose of killing Carey, who had
turned informer against O'DonneI
1t was charged that O'DonneI had
murdered Lord Frederick Vavenish and
Under Secretary Burke, and there were
laid to him other political crimes and
part of the campaign of murder and de-
struction which a portion of the Irish
leaders supported at that time.
