TIMES BUREAU.
AT STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis. Ind, Jan. 22--The
quality of steel used in steam and in
terurban railway construction in Indi-
ana is to be inquired into by the state
railroad commission. which has issued
an order calling for a conference on
February OF steel rail manufacturers
and railway officials to consider tho
question OF better quality and increased
weight of rails. Expert steel mon and
expert railway builders will be called
to appear and testify.
It is possible. 1t Is said by one of
the commissioners. that Louis d.
Brandeis of Boston, who recently made
some speeches in the east criticising
manufacturer. maybe invited to attend
the conference and tell what he knows
of steel manufacturing
The decision of the commission to in
vestigate the steel question was reach
ed after numerous conferences with
steel manufacturers and railroad men,
after numerous inspections of steel now
in use on roads in the states
It has reached the commission that
the steel rail manufacturers desire to
manufacture a 130-pound rail. to take
the place of the 80 pound and the 10
pound rail now in use. Expert fnfor-
nation obtained by the commission is
to the effect that the roll used in roll
ing to heavy rails now in use do not
weld to iron particles sufficiently TO
maintain the grade OF steel used when
lighter rails were common. Whether
the fault lies with the rolls or with the
manufacturer of the steel billets for
roofing into rails is one of the ques-
lions the commission wishes to determ-
s+tl
heavier rails would further reduce the
| quality.
| The text of the order is as follows

dition of railroads s railways with ref

Consequently we have taken the

QUALITY OF STEEL USED
ON RAILROAD TAKEN UP

erence to the security Of the public,
and whereas, this commission is advis-
ed that the stsl now manufactured and
put in on the railways in this state is
inferor to the lighter grades heretofore
used. and that there Is difference of
opinion between manufacturers and
carriers as to whether this steel should
be still heavier to sustain heavier
equipment and loads. or should be of
such better quality as were the lighter
grades.
Therefore. upon consideration of
formal inquiry by the commission as TO
this matter is now instituted and conn
menced
1T is ordered that the general man
ayers, general superintendents engi-
neers in charge of maintenance of way
and expert testers OF new steel, and
such purchasing agents and such au-
thories on steel manufacture and such
road masters as the commission ma :
hereafter summon shall attend a con-

at said conference, to the end that SUCH
concerted course of action may be
adopted by the railroad companies, OF
such orders made IL necessary, by the
commission, as will tend to secure for

Financial settlements, however. were
remarkably well maintained payment
