Iron Age Review

New York, February 7-(Special.)-The Iron Age will say tomorrow: That the increased operation of steel works, due to the large business booked in Decem- Der has eentered in the Steel corpora tions plants in the Pittsburg district is strikingly shown in the pig iron statis- tics for January. In that month 13 Steel corporation furnaces were blown in.
 Pig iron production in January was 2057,04l gross tons or 66,3S4 tons a day, a against 2OiS,279 tons in December, or G5,012 tons day While eight furnaces were blown out last month, q were blown in, and the capacity active February was 71 ,103 tons a day, a gain of nearly 350o tons upon January l. Production is now at the rate of 26,0O0000 tons a year or 1,250,000 a year more than on Jan uary 1. In 1911 the total for the country was 23,650,e00 tons. The Steel corporation now has S6 per cent of its blast furnace capacity in operation.
 Eastern plate mills are counting on considerable business from the vessels now in prospect for seaboard ship yards. Upward of 75,000 tons of plates and shapes will be needed for all the work that is likely to be placed. On the lakes 1900 tons oe plates for an oil barge has been given out and Cleve- land and Buffalo passenger boat will call for 2500 tons of steel.
 The pig iron market is drifting with little definite development The year has now advanced far enough to show whether a buying movement is ahead that will lift values out of the rut but no real encouragement can be found in the situation as it stands. South ern pro- ducers of foundry iron show firmer front. it Is true, but their northern competitors have not shared it Gs yet

NEW PASSENGER BOAT
Pig Iron Drifts Along With Little Definite Development-South Producers of Foundry Iron
 Show a Firmer Front

Cleveland, February 7.-(Speclal)- The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say: The pig iron trade market has been quiet throughout the country, but the leading sellers report having done very comfortable business during January. This Is true of several large Cleveland agencies. An eastern steel company. which has been aggressive as a seller, disposed of S0,000 tons of various grades last month and an equal tonnage in December.
 It now develops that recent heavy purchasing by the largest cast iron pipe maker amounted to fully $50,O00, an inquiry for 500 tons from Mans field. Ohio, concern, which has pur- chased what it thought would be it's requirements for the second and third quarter of the year, illustrates the rapid increase in the manufacture of gaso- line traction engines in the place of steam engines. Southern iron seems to be begged at s1O in spite of the fact that a number of companies are making higher quotations.
 In finished materials specifications against contracts made at low prices are heavy in most lines, particularly in wire products. On steel bars, plates and sheets there is some irreguarity. The re- cent placing of a contract for 10000 tons of structural material at 1.10c Pittsburg shows what can be done on a large ton- mage of desirable specifications.
 Additional shipbulding contracts include the placing of a 10000 ton steamer for the Panama canal service for w. R. Grace & Co. with the Cramps, and coal car rying steamer to be built for the Coast wise Transportation company by the New York Shipbuilding company.
 The Carnegie Steel company will furnish 1500 tons of plain material for a sea going oil barge to be built for the Standard Oil company by the American Shipbuilding company at Cleveland, at which city the contract for 20JO tons for a new Cleveland and Buffalo passenger steamer will soon be placed.
 The inquiry for steamships of Southern Pacific railroad interest, upon which bids have been entered by eastern builders, calls for four boats. Each vessel will require l0o0o tons of plates and 5000 tons of shapes. Award on this work is ex- pected soon.

Indianapolis, February 7.-Capiases for the simultaneous arrest of all the men named in the 32 indictments re-, turned by the federal grand jury in the dynamite conspiracy cases with certi- fled copies of the indictments were com pleted today. It is believed the ar rests will be effected within five days, possibly on Saturday, but more proba- bly, next Monday
 Although the men, most of them la bor union officials and agents, are scattered from New Orleans to Boston to the Pacific coast, the papers for their apprehension have been so arranged that they are to be arrested and af forded an opportunity to give bond as near as possible within a few hours.
 The necessity of the government to take into custody so many prisoners in at least 20 distant cities within. a given time Is regarded as unusual
 It has developed that the defendants will number at least 40 and probably more.

Simultaneous Arrests
 Tn Dyndmitin9 Conspiracy

Telegrams announcing the return of the indictments are said to have been forwarded from United States District Attorney Miller's office today to author ities in various federal districts where arrests are to follow
 While there will be no haste in mall- ing arrests, it will be done as soon as possible" said Mir. Miller Many in- quiries have come asking for the exact day, but we have declined to answer Except for the necessity of arresting everybody indicted within a given time we are handling these cases just as we would any others
 Although the defendants indiy idually probably will seek counsel after their arrest, it is expected the defense of all the men ultimately will be consolidated.
 Frank M. Ryan, president of the In- ternational Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, at the head quarters, where J. J. McNamara formerly had his offices, said today he made no plans for the defense of any of the men. There will be time enough to think of that when we learn who have been in- dcted." said MT. Ryan.
