RAILROADS STILL RUSH
TO BUY NEW ENGINES
Orders Placed in Past Few
Days Call for Total Of 40
Locomotives.

The most interesting development in
the announcement that the nav plant Of
the National Tube Company to be con
structed at Gary. Ind. will require about
$4,000 tons Of structural steel. which
will be fabricated by the American
Bridge Company, Western division. A
this IL inter-company business Il will
not AFFECT the report Of tho unified tom
mage Of the United States steel Corpo-
ration. but as It will take UP mill and
shop capacity II will be included in
the monthly report of III Bridge Build
ers Society. The indication is that
March business taken by the fabricating
shops will probably he between $4,000
and $4,000 tons. a total which has
been exceeded only two or three times
In the history Of tho industry.
The plant OF the National Tube Com
pany 70 be built mt Gary will have an
annual capacity, Of 500. 900 tons of bes-
semer steel ingots and 100000 tons an
nually Of tubular goods. According to

shearing mill. five lap weld furnaces,
five bull weld furnaces, a galvanizing
chop, u Jobbing shop. u machine shop.
a power station, water works and .
warehouse.
Railroads are still feverishly provid-
ing motive power to meet the unusual
| trafic demands. In tho last few days
| orders for 10 locomotives have been
| placed, including fifty OF the mikado
| type for the Pennsylvania lines west OF
| Pittsburg. twenty-five of which are to be
built by the Lima Locomotive Corpora
ton and twenty-five by the Baldwin
| six for tho Missouri Pacific,
to be constructed by the Baldwin works,
and seventy-eix locomotives for the Rus
sian Imperial Government. to he built
by the American Locomotive Company.
Thus far the March contracts taken by
locomotive builders call for between
s 5000 and $1,000 tons Of steel.
The rail mills have taken additional
| contracts for standard and light sections,
mainly for 1917 shipment, which. with
orders that will probably be closed To-
day. will make the March total fully
1000. 900 tons. exclusive Of the prospec-
tive Pennsylvania Railroad contracts
The Missouri Pacific and the Iron Noun.
tain railroads have virtually closed for
approximately 10000 tons OF standard

vania Railroad has already taken bids
on 500 tons of steel for nine small bridge
spans. H~olbrook, Cabot 4 Rollins. who
have the general contract for the sub
structure OF the Thames River bridge on
the New Haven Railroad, have placed an
order with a Boston shop for 200 to 800
tons Of steel for cutting edges OF the
wooden caissons which will be utilized
In this work.
The American Bridge Company has
been awarded II contract for building
four steel barges for service on The lower
Mississippi River by Dulutt e Witlen OF
New Orleans. which will require $50 tons
Of structural steel. The same interests
have also been awarded a contract for
four manpuvrlng boats by the United
States Government, which will require
ESQ tons Of structural plates.
Among tho structural contracts pend
ing in the West is a freight house for
