STEEL ADVANCES.
Higher Prices Looked for
in August.

Although 1t was thought that when
the advances in plates, structurals and
bars were made last month there
would be no further increases until
the fall, manufacturers now predict
that these three major steel products
will be advanced an additional 81
ton within a few weeks. Premiums as
high as SIS ton are being charged for
prompt deliveries, which would war
rant the attitude manufacturers have
taken The American Iron and Steel
company has advanced the price of
spikes an additional dollar per ton.
the same advance as was made last
week. making the current quotation
$3.50 per 100 pounds Pittsburg basis.
Also 1t has advanced track bolts 81
ton, additional to the same advance
last week, making the current price
s205 per 100 pounds. Business with
the company is better than 1t has been
for years
Mills short of Help.
The hot weather has caused a
duction in operations in some lines
of steel making. but the entire steel
industry of the country is now operat-
ing on basis of something like 90 per
cent of full capacity. Owing to labor
shortage and the weather this may be
slightly reduced during august, Dut II
1t were not for these difficulties oper-
ations would be at about Sc per cent
of capacity, as demands for steel are
becoming more urgent as the time for
moving the crops approaches, and the
mills are shipping as rapidly as they
can obtain sufficient cars. There Is
an untitled demand for about $4,000
additional laborers. mostly of the un-
skilled class. The mills have never
before been so congested with specfn-
cations and there are many large or
ders tentatively before the market
which cannot be placed because of the
inability to make deliveries as want
ed. steel companies have practically
abandoned any effort to obtain any
new business at present, as they are
becoming further and further behind
on their contract deliveries

Another Steel Inquiry.

The views of the house investigating
committee. headed by Representative
Stanley, and those of the Interstate
commerce commission as to whether
the transportation activity of the
United States Steel Corporation Is a fit
subject for inquiry seem to coincide
as far the independent manufactur-
ers and shippers are concerned. Tho
commission has opened another ave-
nue. of attack on the corporation. al
though the trust is not mentioned
specifically. An order has been issued,
for an inquiry into the rate practices
and rules governing the transporta-
ton of iron ore. wire and steel. That
the investigation will be far-reaching
is assured by the Implication of three
hundred railroads The commission
will endeavor to ascertain whether
these railroads have any interest in
the products which they transport.
This interest is interpreted to in
clude stock ownership.
1t was brought out during the hear
ings by the Stanley committee that
the steI trust had profitable source
| of income in railroads which 1t con-
trolled or owned outright. In March
G. NJ Freer traffic expert, told the
committee that the Duluth. Missable &
Northern railroad. subsidiary of the
trust, made a return on it's ore charges
| in 1910 of 240 per cent. on its capital
stock. Some of the trusts richest
holdings are in the Duluth region, and
/ It was learned that this ore-as we'll
as much of that from the independ emit
mines-was transported to the lake
ports the road mentioned and the
Duluth & Iron Range another con-
trolled line. Further evidence was in
troduced to show how other stel trust
lines. strateEical1y built, profted at
the expense of rival lines with the re-
suit that the steel trusts grip was
strengthened. The Bessemer & Lake
Erie, a feeder for trunk lines got, 1t
was shown, from Is to 55 per cent. of
the through rates. The Union railroad
also benefited. as did the Elgin. Joliet
& Eastern.
! The Interstate commission being
possessed of more executive power
than the Stanley committee, probably
will be able to get quicker results. but
this latest inquiry will be greatly
helped by the information gathered in
congress The whole result should
have bearing on the suit for dfssolu-
ltion. The commerce commission did
much to separate the coal producing
companies from the coal carrying rail-
lroads. quaIly beneficial results should
result from segregation in STEEL

SLAYER'S SELF DESTRUCTION
ENDS A LONG Man HUNT

Lauder then made Savannah his
permanent home where he received
employment in the C. NJ. & ST. P. shops
at his old trade machinist. There
he made good and acquired wide
circle of friends. But he had another
difference with a man and with the
same old revengeful spirit, Lauder
purchased a revolver, met the man and
pressed the gun to the mans heart
There was click and small fash

A scuffle followed In which LADDERS

power him and placed him under ar

Savannah county jail where he was
held under $1,000 bonds on a charge of
attempted manslaughter.
The day following his arrest, Laud-
er made his first attempt to suicide but
was foiled and guard placed near his
cell. Last Wednesday while the guard
stepped away for snort time. Lauder

other to the steel bar and jumped.
causing almost instant death. His re-
mains were found sometime later on
the cell floor. the strip of blanket
with which he had ended his life hav-
! ing broken.
| Those who were most intimately ac-
quainted with Lauder, believed that
the murder he committed in Hammond
preyed upon his mind until he became
mentally unbalanced. The fact that
he seemed to know detectives were
shadowing him, also caused a great
deal of worry.
| LADDERS home is in Port Huron
Mich. and his remains were sent there

New York, Aug. 16.-The army
maneuvers which have been held
around this city for the past week
or ten days, with view of "captur-
ing" New York has produced some
statistics that are as interesting as the
result of the maneuvers to the war
department. During the maneuvers
this is what Uncle Sam has had to
provide for his soldiers. together with
what has been provided by the vari-
Gus national guards: Meat. 10000
pounds; potatoes, 100000 pounds;
flour. 10000 pounds; onions. $4,000
pounds. bacon, $4,000 pounds; beans,
$1,000 pounds; coffee, 10000 pounds;
sugar, $4,000 pounds; ice. 100000
pounds; butter, 400 pounds; rice,
$500 pounds; dried fruits, 1900
pounds; canned goods, $500 cans 1t
is estimated that by the time the man
euvers end next Monday evening, not
enough will be left to feed the legon-

the food consumed by the soldiers
600 900 pounds of hay and 100000
