of the delegates remarked that any
spy who could keep his wits about
him with hammers that hit 1900
pounds to the square inch and with
furnaces belching 100 centigrade
flame all about him would be re-
markable spy.
The delegates saw, for instance, port
plates of the Arizona, United States
battleship still to be launched, and
were told how It would take nine
months to make that one plate, with
its two port holes for gigantic guns:
They were shown plates to be riveted
to the California. great curved pieces
of steel that require special cars to
carry them to the Brooklyn navy yard.
But principally were the visitors taken
with the actual rolling of steel.
In one of the great buildings of a
great plant covering 100 acres or more
they watched a black steel demon. call
ed by the foreman a charging crane,
stick long black arm into a burnin 6
and fiery furnace and draw forth
twenty-ton bits of red hot steel. like a
housewife draws cake from the oven.
Over the heads of the party the me-
chanical demon moved the twenty tons
with the ease of n crow carrying bit
of bread and placed it lightly on a
long runway that trundled the great
ingot toward a waiting pair of rollers
opened like a hungry mouth.

not only at that one machine but al
hundreds all over the place.
Explosions occurred seemingly pc

sizzling hot steel wriggled and crept
and twisted about as they were shaped
into bars and slabs. Sparks flew every

the visitors in wonder They saw stee

Nearly All Machinery.

At the same time the delegates learn
ed that a big steel plant is almost all
machinery, and that the men are com
paratively few and far between. They
learned that at the Carnegie works
! o. 900 men are on the pay roll, and yet
they seemed scarce. When one man
can pull a lever and operate a set of
steel-making machines a hundred
yards in length and ten yards In
breadth men are not likely to be crowd
ing the place. Nearly every delegate
remarked that the slaves of the steel
trust were missing from the scene"
The men were working quietly and no
one seemed to be doing any more than
he could attend to.
The visitors also got a complete ex-
position of the safety-frs movement:
in the steel plants here they call it
safety always" Every possible dan
ger point is marked: every machine is
made not only as safe as possible for
ordinary folks. but where possible 1t is
made foolproof.

Our transportation facilities are the

ephone systems Of this nation crown
the industrial achievements Of the
whole world. These twin messengers
Of modern civilization, born In the

toIled for the human race.
They are Of American nativity and

Telegraphy, in its early youth, mas
tered the known world and the tele-
phone has already conquered the
earth's surface, and now stands at the
seashore ready to leap across the

No industry in the history Of the
world has ever made such rapid strides
in development and usefulness. and
none has ever exerted q more powerful
influence upon the civilization of-its
day than the Telegraph and Telephone.
Their achievement demonstrates the
supremacy Of two distinct types Of
