TO FIND SATISFACTORY Rails

Continuing It's efforts 70 find a
more satisfactory steel rail than the
one now in general use, the Ponnsyl-
vania Railroad Company yesterday
placed experimental orders for 1000
tons each with five rail mills The
experimental order calls for the fur
nishing Of 10000 tons in all and is
divided equally between the United
States Steel Corporation, Cambria
Steel Company. Pennsylvania Steel
Company, Lackawanna Steel Com
pany and Bethlehem Steel Company.
Each company has been ordered TO
roll 1000 rails on the same speciilca-
tions as experimental rails were run
last year. An additional 1.O00 tons Is
ordered from each company with re-
vised specifications. The final or
ders for requirements by the com
pany In 1915 will depend upon the
results obtained from these expert
mental lots.
The Pennsylvania Railroad on
January asked for bids from th'
above steel mills for 100000, or per
haps 10000 tons of steel rails fol
/ its 1915 requirements.
