NEW BRASS EXTRUDHNG
WORKS TO START HERE
Factory With Novel Process
Will Fill European Bellig-
erents' Munition Orders

A new 100000 factory for extruding
brass for munition purposes will begin
work, employing 131 men in two shifts,
by May T. according to announcement
made today by Walter S. Johnson, 1is
Maplewood avenue, Germantown, one of
the stockholders.
It is understood that some OF the big
munition flnanclers are backing the COM
pany and that already more money has
been subscribed than will be needed to
start the factory. It was at first planned
to call the concern the Stanford Brass
Company and build the factory at STAN
ford, Conn, but now no name has been
chosen. The site Of the new factory will
be within a radius Of Is miles of city
Hall. Ten factories are being considered
now all in this city. The work of in
stalling machinery will begin in n few
days
No officers have been elected and the
articles Of Incorporation have not been
fled
A Philadelphia concern, the Southwark
Foundry and Machine Company ith
. street and Washington avenue, has COM
pleted the 2000-ton eXtruding presses by
which the brass will be extruded or made
into form by pressing It out when in a soft
ened state This iH the first extruding
foundry ever started In Philadelphia, and
there are few in the country, the brass
usually being cast.
The capacity Of the new foundry will
be about 80 tons day. Extrudng brass
is n relatively new method, which does
away with casting and reduces the cost Of
production to an enormous degree.
I'VE are starting the company to take
advantage of the enormous demand for
munitions" said Mr.. johnson today.
when the war is over we will keep right
on doing business. for there is a great
demand for brass We will make the
brass rods. The rod is the brass in the
raw state. Just as the pig iron is the iron
and steel In the raw state. All brass is
made from this rod. The method we will
use--that of eXtruslon--is simply the APP
plication of enormous pressure and the
squirting Of the brass in a soft state from
the size tube which will give the rod the
desired size. The brass comes out much
in the same way tooth paste comes out of
n tube when 1t is squeezed"
The new factory will have $4,000 worth
of machinery alone. 1t has already been
offered an order for 100000 brass rings
for the Russian Government IT depends
on the action of the stockholders whether
this contract will be taken. Mr.. Johnson
says the Russian Government pays for its
munitions when the bill of lading arrives.
A representative will be sent to Russia
in a few days to see about getting Rus
sian orders for munitions.

NV dear Governor--In writing you
at this time I do so lout of a sense
of the supreme Importance of re-
storing harmony within the Repub-
lcan party to the end that Pennsyl-
vanla may present q united front In
the Chicago convention.
You will readily agree with me that
the interests of the state and nation
are involved in sane party action and
the recognition of the vital prnci-
pies which are at stake in the great
contest of this year.
Individuals may differ as to meth
ods, but there should be no question
of the necessity for unity, and so
strong is my own conviction on this
point, as is also the conviction OF
many associates for whom | know
you entertain n high regard, that l
urge upon you such immediate steps
as may be necessary to bring about
concerted effort with n view to the
elimination of all factional activities
and restoration of party peace and
a Statewide cooperation for and in
the interests Of Republican success.
recall that in your recent letter
to Mr. WATSON you indicated an entire
willingness to withdraw your name at
any time 1t might appear that such
action on your part would be for the
best interests of the party. and l sub
nit that in the present situation your
own good judgment will dictate such
