FAIR PROGRESS IN
 STEEL MARKET Belief That U. s. Will Not Become Involved in War
 Has Good Effect

Cleveland. O., May 1s-tSpecial) ) The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 The very hopeful feeling amounting almost to confidence that the United States will not become involved in the European war has prevented all but the most timid from deferring placing af orders for iron and steel products and machinery and moderate progress toward greater activity continues The actual distribution of orders for IA, 900 cars for the Pennsylvania lines has had a reassuring effect as numerous re- ports have been in circulation that the carrying out of the buying programme of this great system had been indef- initely postponed
 It is expected that within day or two the Pennsylvania will distribute ether orders for 13S,000 tons of rails. owing to rigid specifications railmaA- CTS have quoted s3 to s5 ton above the sSO mill price for open hearth. Algona Steel corporation, Sault Ste. Marie On tario, is bidding on business. but it is not expected to get any considerable part of the tonpAge.
 Good Booking of Sheet The weeks booking on sheet and tin plate by some important companies were the best in the three years. There 1 is also improvement in tubes. The Uni ted States Steel corporations opera | tions continue to increase and last week were considerably better than 1 75 per cent of ingot capacity. This | uraa ie 10 hpt It is noteworthy that foreign business of the corporation represents only a slight increase over its normal foreign business.
 Cast iron pipe foundries have con tinued as the principal buyers of pig iron In eastern territory and several round tonnages have been placed. Faii 1 activity has continued at Chicago and other districts in the central west and 1 in the south $10 is the prevailing quo l tation.
 Furnish Steamer Plates The Carnegie Steel company will 1 furnish 5000 tons plates and shapes | for two tank steamers which have just
 keen awarded to eastern yards. The l company will also furnish 5000 tons
 for pontoon work at Norfolk. While CT the whole plate prices are somewha' trmer. weakness has not entirely dis appeared.
 Some very large tonnages of stee bars for use in manufacturing shrap nel explosive shells and guns are pend ing and it is understood that at leas 27 ,00O tons of rounds for shrapnel have been placed. The making of million rifles by Westinghouse company will call for large tonnage and a Cleveland company has sent out an inquiry fcl 40. 900 tons for manufacture of gur barrels.

AINFR HERO WILL Be
GIVEN MEDAL TODAY

This evening in the first-aid hall
mt Lucerne Mines, the first-aid asso-
citation will present Joseph Tramon-
tana, a miner of that place, their
signal service medal for saving Gal
ientine GAl,opi, a fellow workman,
from being electrocuted on Sept. 26.
Gallopi was standing on a projec-
lection high enough to allow his head
TO reach the roof Of the mine and in
the progress of his work his head be
came fastened between the roof and
the mine trolley wire, carrying 500
volts. He threw his head sideways
and when he realized what plight he
was in he became confused and tried
to pull his head out, as any one might
naturally do. The result being that
he was shocked by the strong current
Of electricity.
Tramontana realizing the danger
ous situation, pried Gallopi away
from the wire by some means or
other and applied artificial respira
ton Immediately. continuing so for
about three-quarters of an hour.
This he did all alone, knowing that
if he took time to call help, the man
would be dead before assistance
could come a..
The cleqr Judgment and knowledge
of the remedy so thoroughly is all
that can be said why Gallopi is still
a miner today.
The medal the association is about
to give Tramontana for his seavice is
only given when the circumstances
are above the usual run of rescues.
This is the fourth medal so far given
and the first that q Lucerne Mines
