BRIGHT PROSPECTS
FOR PEN|VA. STEEL
Rail Mill Opens; Big Orders Ex-
pected; Freight Rate IN
crease Brings Business

While there has been scarcely any
appreciable increase in operations at
the big plant of the PENNSYLVANIA Steel
Company here during the last few
months of 1914, present indications
point to increased operations during
the early months of the new year, ac-
cording to an official of the company
this morning.
The rail mill. it was announced, will
resume operations on several COM
parattvely small orders Monday morn
ing. This will give employment to
about 800 men.
AT the present time there are four
open hearth furnaces and three blast
furnaces in operation in the steel
manufacturing department. The num-
Der of open hearth furnaces in op-
Grafton may be taken as a barometer
of the scale of operations about the
big plant. AT the present rate of open
hearth operation conditions would be
slightly better than for several months
back.
The announcement from New York
that the big eastern railroads will
likely place their 1915 rail orders next
week and the increased rates allowed
the railroads by the Interstate Com
merce Commission has given better
tone to the steel trade and created the
impression in Steelton that the local
plant will fare better in the next few
months
"One thing is sure" declared an
official of the local company this
morning, "this year can't be worse
than 1914. and it is my personal
opinion that by the second quarter
at least we will get more prosperous
conditions. Things can't stay the way
they are now; they must surely i'm
prove"

was light. but the New Year started
with a rush of bituminous coal east

local officials, look bright.
The total car movement over this
division during December was 81, 1,4S2.
The total movement for the year on
the Middle division was 1898, ,462 cars.
This is 263,1S3 cars less than during
