unable TO force settlement.
Officers of the Lilies Cigar Co. No.

strike had been conducted in an or

settlement could be effected without
trouble, but said that no attempt

BETHLEHEM STEEL OPTIMISTIC.

Bethlehem Steel, 1t is stated. believe
that general business win continue
good in the United States after the
war, though prices will become more
normal as compared with present high
levels.
1t is reported Bethlehem Steel Itself
has today over $300.OOO,OOO worth Of
business booked. Plans to fill this
enormous volume of orders within two
years. This total much overtops the
previous reports
The Russion shell deliveries of the
Bethlehem are now being rushed.
Undoubtedly earlier anticlpations as
to net earnings for Bethlehem COM
mon. rising to $500 per share per an
mum, will be considerably bettered
The management, however, prefers at
this season OF its fiscal and calendar
year to postpone any official outline
of 1915 profits.
1t Is stated that the construction
program as laid down for the expan-
sion and Improvement of the Bethle-
hens plant calls for an outlay of
$75,000,000, With the difficulties that
prevail In getting labor and materials,
1t Ia not known just how soon this
program can be accomplished, but it's
completion Is hoped for within not
much more than three years; $1,000
900 month Is now being expended on
company construction in Pennsylvania.
Within the past four weeks con-
tract for about $9.OOOOOO of new mer-
chant tonnage have been closed by
shipbuilding subsidiaries
These are additional to arrangements
made by Mr.. Schwab for the building
OF five ocean carriers of ore for COM
pany purposes. The 100000 of new
merchant tonnage is comprised of six
boats, representing price of approx
mately $1,500,00O each. Some of the
work will go to the Union Iron works
IN the Pacific, where 5000 men are
employed.
Bethlehem with it's subsidiaries has
become one of the country's very larg-
'st industrial employers There are
between 10000 and $4,000 on the pay
oils.
