Gentlemen TWO.

Two street cleaning department

they were driving their carts side by

The other was an adder-headed negro.
Both looked utterly disreputable.

CLOSER ALLIANCE
BY STEEL MAKERS
Foreigners Consult with Do
nestle Manufacturers.

New York Oct H.-Ironmakers from
many parts OF the world met at the Wal
dorf- Astoria to-day in attendance at the
first general meeting Of the American
Iron and steel Institute. No such gath
ering of steel men has ever taken place
before in this country, and from it re-
suits may flow which viii revolutionize
that gigantic industry In some Of its I'm
portant branches.
The American Iron and Steel Institute
is a new departure, inasmuch as its aim
is TO deal not only with the technical
part of the industry but to take up its
commercial side as we'll and hence in
wade the domain of prices. so important
to the world at large. Other organiza-
tons. notably the Iron and Steel Insti-
tute of Great Britain, have existed for
the exchange of views regarding the
technical side OF steel making. and have
held many important meetings. but the
! meeting to-day was probably the most
important step yet taken toward secur-
ing what for long time has been under
discussion, namely, a worldwide CO.
| operation among the manufacturers Of
| steel and iron for mutual protection in
| the markets OF the world in the matter
| Of production and prices.
The movement looking to such things
has been going on quietly for some time.
! Prominent among those who have been
trying TO bring it about has been Judge
Gary of the United States Steel Cor
poration, but associated with him in
these efforts have been representatives
of many of the so-called independents
and the foreign steelmakers.
AS might be expected, to-day's meeting
was not open to the public. Only a
synopsis OF the proceedings were given
out. with the exception OF the opening
remarks of Judge Gary, who is president
of the institute. 1t was decided In this
| respect TO conform with the rules of the
British institute. whose meetings are pri-
vate, IN order that, as Mr.. Schwab ex-
pressed it, there should be greater free
dom of discussion.
The remarks OF Judge Gary took up a
| large portion OF the morning session
which began at II o'clock, and were
looked upon as setting a sort OF keynote
for the gathering.
BY way of preliminary. Judge GARY
showed that the production OF pig iror
had increased from 100000 tons in lSS
to 26,500.0oo tons in 1909. and Of steel from

In Australia they are great

England follows, with six
pounds per capita per annum,

four pounds, then the United

Great chance to advertise Tea

Mr.. Larkin started in the tea
business in Canada eighteen years
ago. He tried to sell Salada Tea
by the chest at first, but that did
not work. Then he put it up in
lead packets, and he labeled each
packet. THIS IS FULL

Then he started to ADNkR-

six dollars a week in the Toronto
News. For several years he put
all of his profits into advertising.
He hoped, at the beginning, to
ultimately sell 100000 pounds Of
tea year.

100000 people, consumes thirty
million pounds Of tea per annum,
