A Treat

One of the most interesting talks
given here in some time was the
lecture at the NJ. E. church under
the auspices of the Epworth League
Tuesday evening by Blind
Optirnist" Fred S. Atwood.
Mr.. Atwood took for his subject
Happiness" and brought out
beauties of his subject in language
pleasing and learned. The church
was filled and everyone was more
than pleased for having attended.
The Epworth League is to be
congratulated on having secured
such eminent speakers in its course
as Mr.. Atwood and DR.. Rice who
was here several weeks ago. 1t is
to be hoped that the members will
continue the good work with the
result of securing more lectures of
a like quality.

U. s. STEEL
Corporation Production in
1911

The United States Steel Cor
poration, in 1911, produced 12,-
10000 gross tons of steel ingots,
according to an official statement,
says the Iron Trade Review. This
is a decline of about 400. 900
tons, or approximately 10 per cent
from the output of 1910. when
IA, I79, 500 gross tons were pro-
duced. In blast furnace products,
the Steel Corporation turned out
1O,75O,O00 gross tons during the
past year. This compares with
II, S31 1913 gross tons in 1910.
The iron and steel production of
the Steel Corporation in 1910 re-
presented the high mark of man
ufacture in the history of that
interest.
The rate of crude production of
any steel maker represents the
primary index, by which the
demands of consumption upon its
capacity may generally be measur-
ed. For purposes of exact ac-
curacy, such conclusion may not
always be finally accepted, since
the changing conditions of trade
frequently result in considerable
fraction of the crude metal output
going into stocks in the form of
cold ingots or pig iron. The con-
sentative policies faithfully follow
ed throughout the past year by the
Steel Corporation and other leading
steel interests to so curb operations
as not to increase raw material
supplies on hand, however,
generally preclude in this case the
belief that much of the total pro-
production went into stocks. In
fact, it may be said that in the case
of the leading steel maker, the &C
cumulations on hand at the begin
ming of the year were partially
absorbed in the operations of the
past IL months in addition to the
new metal produced. As stocks of
finished material in original hands
have also been greatly extended, as
far as can be judged, it may be
stated with reasonable accuracy
that the Steel Corporation in 1911
was called upon to fill demand
which was substantially 90 per
cent of the largest year of its
history.
The total rated steel output of
all the Steel Corporation plants is

Decreased Earnings

Decrease in the output of iron
ore in northern Minnesota caused
the gross earnings of of the D. M !.
& N. railroad to fall off more than
S., 00O,Oo during 1911. The
earnings last year were $685.
$780, 40 and of this amount the state
will get tax of 1924, 1873. "a. The
earnings and tax were nearly
double those amounts in 1910.
The tax of the D. & I. R. road
this year amounts to approximately
S58, 900 less than the previous
year. In 1911 the gross earnings
were Sc, 718.o78.13 and the state
got 68,759.13. In 1910 the road
earned over $8,00O.O00 and the
state received for its share $685.

approximately 1S,5OO,0OO gross
tons of ingots annually. Its pro-
duction in 1911 was accordingly
on the scale of practically 70 per
cent of full capacity. 1t needs to
be said, however, that the Steel
Corporation in no year has had its
potential steel output engaged more
than IS to 80 per cent on the
average.
Of the total production of 49,
094,919 gross tons of open-hearth
and- Bessemer steel ingots and
castings manufactured in the
United States in 1910, the Steel
Corporation S output of IA, 179, 500
gross tons, represents about 81 per
cent. If similar relative rate of
output between the Steel Corpora
ton and all other producing
interests was maintained in 1910,
the output of the independent COM
panies is indicrted to have been ap-
proximately 10, 100000 gross tons,
and the total make of steel in the
country in excess of 23,5000, 900
gross tons. In 1910, the total out
put of pig iron of the country,
eliminating charcoal iron, was 20, :
900. 900 gross tons, the Steel Cor
poration producing IL, 1881 1913
gross tons or about A per cent.
Ini 1911, the coke and anthracite
output of the country, according to
the statistics compiled by THE
IRON TRADE REVIEW was 5000, :
600 tons. 1t is shown, therefore,
that the Steel Corporations pro-
duction of 1O,750,O00 gross tons of
pig iron in 1911 was about As per
cent of the total output, or a
slightly larger proportion than in
the previous year. These pig iron
statistics indicate what has ap-
parently been fact, that the Steel
Corporation chiefly through its
large export trade has been able to
run the past year, on an average,
better than its competitors and that
the final figures of steel production
of the country in 1911 will fall not
far from the 80, 900, O00-ton mark.

DIRECT PRIMARIES
Bristow Bill Giving District Right
to Select Presidential Candi-
dates Is Beaten, 8 to 4.

BY a vote OF s to the Senate District
Committee yesterday adversely reported
the bill introduced by Senator Bristow.
which provides for the holding Of Presi-
dental preference primaries in the Dis
trict. As a result OF the close vote, IL
is expected that the friends OF the bill
will carry their fight to the floor of the
Senate.
The ayes (voting TO adversely reporO
were Senators Gallinger, Dillingham;,
Lorimer. Martin. and Johnston.
The noes were Senators Works, Pome-
rene. Curtis. and Jones.
The committee ordered a favorable re-
port on the Martin bill. directing the
Commissioners to reimburse the police
and firemen's pension fund from licenses
(other than liquor licenses) of the Dis
trict.
II also favorably reported the bill au-
thoTiZing the extension OF New Hamp-
shire avenue to the District line, and au-

giving to each the others viewpoint, was
the way to peace. Mr.. Clark illustrated
his idea by the expression of his belief
that if a generation of young men in
the South had been educated at North
ern schools and colleges, and vice versa,
the civil war would have been impossi-
bic. because the two sections would
then have been able to sympathize with
each others views.

Highway to Gettysburg.

What is known as the Borland plan
for the construction of a highway be-
tween this city and Gettysburg is now
before Congress in the form OF bill
introduced by Representative Borland,
Of Mississippi. The bill provides an
appropriation of 100000 for the con-
struction of the road, and stipulates that
it shall be known as the Lincoln High
way" or bear some similar appropriate
title.
Probably no other public improvement
of the magnitude of this highway
srouses more sentimental interest or
would result in greater practical ad-
vantage to the people. While it would
benefit first the citizens OF Maryland,
particularly those who own property
along the proposed route, it would be
of much wider benefit to the City of
Washington and the nation. Gettysburg
lies within an easy ride by automobile,
and the construction of good, modern
road to the most celebrated battle
field of the civil war would be a mat
ter OF great convenience and would min
lister much to the pleasure of the people
of this city. Such highway would also
be a source of delight to thousands of
tourists who come to Washington from
all parts OF the country, and who could
take the short side trip to Gettysburg,
riding through a picturesque country,
part of the way over the very routes
over which the contending armies
rushed to conflict in 1865.
The propriety of calling the highway
by the name of Lincoln is apparent, in
asmuch as it would connect the National
Capital with the scene of Lincoln's great
address.

Truce in the Conflict.

While the utterances of banquet ora
tors do not have weight of law or sane
tion Of court or custom, they do often
indicate the trend of public effort to-
ward the solution of grave political and
social problems. At the banquet of the
members and guests of. the National
Civic Federation both President Taft
and Speaker Clark were authority for
sthe statement that a truce has been de-
clared in the conflict between capital
and labor, and it was intinated that
only brief time will be required to es-
tahlish large measure of readjustment
in the relations between the two.
President Taft in his address refer
red especially to the worlzmen's COM
pensation act pending in Congress,
which he hopes will be enacted into law.
The President declared that this meas
ure would go far toward clearing the
way to industrial peace in this country.
Speaker Clark took the view that the

industrial forces and the general edu-
cation going on. which viii result in

Sufragettes in London.

Remarkable contrast is shown in Eng
land at this time between the striking
workmen and the women of London who
are agitating for the right of suffrage.
The strikers, many hundred thousand of
them, are maintaining order and await
ing the slow and aggravating course of
discussion and efforts at compromise.
On the other hand, the sufragettes are
engaged in open violence, smashing shop
windows, submitting to arrest, fine, and
Imprisonment in their now fanatical zeal
for the ballot ...
As between the two, the attitude of
the strikers is the more logical, deserv-
ing of public sympathy, and sure to win.
Indeed, at the moment. Englishmen are
hopeful that the great coal strike is al
most at an end, and that the collieries
will be in operation within a week or
two at most The suffragette movement,
on the other hand, has created antago-
nism. and the inherent Stubborness of
the Briton has been thoroughly aroused
against the object which the women
seek.
The suffragettes advance the argu-
ment that having tried dignihed appeal
to the justice and manhood of Great
Britain, having had resort to peaceful
means OF showing their strength in NUM-
bers and determination to have part OF
the privilege of the franchise, and having
failed, there is nothing left to them but
violence, disorder, imprisonment. and
perhaps martyrdom, to impress the sa-
credness of their cause upon the govern
ing powers and Parliament. There is in
this fight of the British matrons for their
rights, as they view them, something of
the old Magma Charta days, and those
of the Cromwell regime, and the corn
law struggle In fact, it would be easy
enough to find many parallels in English
history where reform has tTiumphed
through riot and bloodshed, so that the
suffragette movement in its most recent
phase is not without precedent in Eng
land.
But times have vastly changed since
the days OF King John or those of
Cromwell or of John Bright. and
in this twentieth century it IS difficult
to find excuse for the scenes now enacted
in London. In the end the women may
gain their point, but it is almost certain
that they will do so by other means than
those now pursued

Anthracite Coal Situation.

While a general strike of the work
men in the anthracite coal fields OF
Pennsylvania is not Immediately inimi-
nent, the situation is such as to give
the country grave concern. Unless a
way is found to reconcile the differences
between the miners and the operators
within month or so, probably the
strike will follow.
The situation now is this: The work
men. through their representatives, have
placed their demands before the oper-
ators These demands were for in
creased pay amounting to about 20 per
rent, a shorter working day, and other
minor changes in contracts. These de-
mands have been rejected, as a whole,
BY the operators, and a committee has
been appointed TO treat with the repre-
sentatives of the miners, after deliver
ing the ultimatum of the operators as
Sociation.
1t ought to be possible for these COM
nItteeS to arrive at some agreement sat
iSfactory to both. As last resort, both
committees could appeal to a govern
ment commission or some other impair
tial tribunal as umpire before going to
the length of a general strike. One
view of the situation is that the threat
ened strike is not to come Immediately,
but that a period OF uncertainty may
greatly disturb the coal trade, if it does
not unsettle business. Anthracite coal
IS so much of public necessity that any
disturbance connected with its regular
and easy supply affects the whole coun-
try adversely.
1t is sincerely to be hoped that some
form of compromise may be found be-
tween the demands of the coal work
men and their employers which will
avert the strike
