Pittsburg Is Afraid.

Pittsburg's great concern is over the
fact that the city of Gary is SO situated
on Lake Michigan that the iron and
steel industry located here obtains its
iron ore much cheaper than ore can be
obtained anywhere in the Pittsburg
district. The present cost of transport
ing iron ore from the mines in
northern Michigan to the Pittsburg dis
trict is SLIP ton. This rate is fixed
by railroad haul from lake ports to the
Pittsburg district. The Pittsburgers
say that with the building of the pro-
posed waterway this rate OF s112 ton
will be cut in half The estimate is
that after the canal is in operation iron
ore will be delivered to Pittsburg at
50 cents a ton. This is about what it
costs to lay ore down at the plant of
the United States Steel Corporation at

If the United States Steel Coronation
had not established the city of Gary.
Ind, there probably never would have
been a demand that this waterway
connecting the city OF Pittsburg with
the Great Lakes be built. The demand
for such a waterway would certainly
not have been made at this time. Pitts
burg is afraid of Gary. Representation
was made to members of the national
waterways commission during it's visit
TO Pittsburg that unless congress
should open the way for the building
of this proposed canal. the time woul l
soon come when the iron and steel in
dustry in and about Pittsburg would
suffer materially. and suffer because
of the superior advantages offered by
the city of Gary. So interested were
