IRON AND STEEL INSTITUTE
Important Meeting Of Bic IRON
masters---P Proceedings Secret.

New York Special Iron maxi
ers from many parts Of the world
met at the Waldorf-Astoria here, In
attendance at the first general meet
ing Of the American Iron and Steel
Institute. No such gathering Of steel
makers has ever taken place before
in this country, and from it, results
may flow which will revolutionize
that gigantic industry in some of its
important branches.
The American Iron and Steel In
stitute is 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 well, and hence invade the domain
OF prices SO important to the world
at large.
Other organizations, notably the
Iron and Steel Institute of Great Brit
ain, have existed for the exchange Of
views regarding the technical side Of
steel making and have held many inn
portant meetings, but the meeting to-
day was probably the most important
step yet taken toward securing what
for q long time has been under dis
cussion, namely a worldwide corpora
ton among the makers Of steel and
iron for mutual protection In the
markets of the world in the matter
Of productions and prices.
The movement looking to such q
thing has been going on quietly for
sometime.
Prominent among those who have
been trying to bring 1t about are
Judge Gary, Of the United States
Steel Corporation, but associated
with him In these efforts have been
representatives Of many of the So
called independents and the foreign
steel makers.
Already several meetings Of the
new institute have been held, but 1t
was not until the meeting Of today
that the American iron masters rub
bed shoulders with many Of the great
iron masters of such countries as
Great Britain, France and Germany
in the new movement to secure CO.
operation. Chief among these for
eign steel makers, perhaps. vas
Baron Won Bodenhausen, managing
director Of the great Krupp works at
Essen. Colonel Sir Charles Allen.
nephew OF Sir Henry Bessemer and
president Of Henry Bessemer & Com
pany, of Shefield, England. was an
other. All told, there were thirty
eight of the foreign steel makers
present, representatives OF practical
~ all big foreign steel works.

THE MAINE NAY FLOAT AGAIN
President Taft authorizes the Rais ng
Of War Vesse.s.

Beverly Especially President Tai.
finally approved plans for raising the
wreck OF the battleship Maine from
Havana Harbor, which calls for the
completion of the work on or before
the thirteenth anniversary Of the de
struction Of the war vessel, Febru-
airy Is next. The work is to be done
according to plans made by army
engineers and to be under direction
of an engineer officer.
The President believes that the
paramount question in the raising Of
the Maine Is the determining for all
time of the cause of the explosion
and whether the source of destruc,
ton was from the outside or inside
the vessel. For this reason he de.
sires that the work shall be retained
in the hands of the army engineers
and not let out by contract.
BY direction of the President
Spain has been invited to send a
representative to Havana to be pres.
ent during the work of exposing and
removing the wreck.
The disposition of the old hulk re-
mains to be settled. The army engi-
neers believe it will be possible to
float the after two-thirds of the yes
sci. The forward third, where the
explosion wrought the greatest havoc
and killed the greatest number Of the
crew while they were asleep in their
quarters, is believed to be too far
gone ever to be taken as q whole
and the wreckage will be removed
piecemeal.
If Congress approves the recon-
mendation of the engineers, the
wreck will be taken out to sea and
given. ceremonial burial in deep
water, there to remain until the end
Of time.
Various plans have been sug-
gested of exhibiting the wreck and
preserving it, but none of these finds
favor with the authorities at Wash
ington.
The wreck is now in 25 feet Of
water. It has sunk but one foot in
the 127s years since it went down.
Underneath the wreck soft mud has
been found to depth Of i've to eight
feet, and beneath this there is hard
clay. Congress has already appro-
priated 100000 for the work.
