RECORD BROKEN IN ]. P|G IRON SHIPMENTS
Railroad Equipment Buying Much Reduced in Volume
 Last Week

New York, June 9.-(Special al)-Aceidents to steel finishing plants and the memorial holiday alone prevented the breaking of
 all steel output records in May, as was
 done in steel making pig iron. Specified tions and shipments, however, established a new high mark. Not a few of the im- portant mills lacked an adequate supply of labor As 1t was the United States Steel corporation produced 1,4So,G0 tons
 of steel in record exceeded only in
 March, 1910.
 The output of finished steel products of
 the corporations subsidiary companies
 was at the rate of 1s,se5 900 tons per year.
 New orders, while less than the daily av-
 craze in April, equalled the full produc-
 tive capacity of the mills and shipments
 averaged only about 40o0 tons per day
 less. To the 2,513,o00 tons of pig iron pro-
 dneed in May the corporation furnaces contributed 1,26s,oO0 tons, 25,ooo tons more than was ever before produced in one month.
 Railroad equipment buying was much reduced in volume last week with interest
 mainly in bridge contracts, including SOOt for the Louisville and Nashville. The prin- cipal rail contracts were 1s.000 tons for the Missouri, Kansas and Texas, 12,oot tons for the St Louis and San Francisco Supplementary orders also were placed by the Hstriman interests.
 Fabricating shops booked orders for Ss,- 600 tons of the contracts for 1,7N,ooo tons in May, of which the American Bridge company took about 10,0e0 tons. The National Tube company advanced l ..f.- ,.a1aa and 1ncS | g per ton. Oil country goods were also advanced by the same interests. The American Sheet and Tin Plate company l operating 95 per cent of the capacity. pur- chased 5000 tons of open hearth sheet bars 1 in the open market.

DISCUSS SUITABLE REWARD
 FOR COL. GEORGE w. GOETHALS

Washington, June 9.-(Special.)- Some members of Congress have been discussing a suitable mannerfof reward ing Col. George w Goethals of the corps of engineers for the services he has rendered as president of the Pan anna canal commission. One suggestion is that he be appointed a brigadier gen. eraI in the line and another is that spe- cial legislation be enacted in his case when the canal Is completed. So far as Is known in Washington, Colonel Goethals entertains no thought at this time of any special action being taken in acknowledgement of his achieve ments in canal construction. but it is thought that if he were consulted in the affair he would prefer some special Legislation rather than an appointment by the president as brigadier general to fill one of the existing vacancies in that grade.
 The conservative view in Congress is that the matter of making a proper

They predict that after their Improvements are completed more people will visit the falls than ever before.

MRS. LONGSTREET WILL NOT GIVE UP FIGHT TO PRESERVE ETALLULAH

Atlanta June 9-(Special)-The failure of Governor Brown and Attorney General Fielder to find any ground upon which the state could bring suit for the recovery of Tallulah Falls, has brought disap- pointment to many who love the beau titul scenery of the Tallulah section and to whom the destruction of the scenery there is a source of deepest regret.
 Mrs. Helen Longstreet of Gainesville, widow of the late General Longstreet, who, at the head of the Tallulah Falls Conservation association, has conducted a noble fight for the preservation of the falls, declares inspite of the governor , action she will not give up the fight as long as she lives.

immediately after, -McWeeny
ordered that the union newsboys
be permitted to return. to their. old
stands in the loop and that this
should be done without any con-
dition as to what newspapers the
union boys might choose to sell.
The taking of the stands from
the union newsboys was perhaps
the most outrageous action of the
publishers in the strike.
The locations of the news
stands in the loop district are val
liable. They are property. Many
of the newsboys had paid hun
dreds of dollars for their loca-
tions.
Yet the,police powerof the city
was used3to drive them awayfrom
these locations, and this without
form of law. They were just
driven out.
The Allied Printing Trades
Council of Chicago last night put
the seal of its approval on the ac-
ton of the stereotypers, wagon
drivers, mechanics and newsboys
in walking out in sympathy with
the locked-out pressmen.
The council also promised to
aid the locked-out and striking
