The building and yard storage will
be covered with high powered travel
ing cranes. A pneumatic sand-hand-
ling apparatus will be installed to de-

spective mixers to points required in
forming molds.
The cost of the building and equip

ADDS ANOTHER
TO STEEL CHAIN
Schwab Asquires Big Cornwall
Ore Mines and Lebanon
Mills

Lebanon, Pa, Dec. 20.-Charles Nj.
Schwab. head of the Bethlehem Steel
Company, it became known to-day,
has purchased the Lackawanna Steel
Company's interests here in the Corn
wall ore mines and also the Freeman
interests in the Cornwall railroad and
ore mines and furnaces at Cornwall.
Mr.. Schwab is now in control of
the famous Cornwall ore mines. He
will own outright the American Iron
and Steel plants, including the
$4,000, 600 steel mill; the twin Lebanon
furnaces and concentrator plant and
the twin Colebrook furnaces, and will
direct, under lease, the twin Bird
Coleman furnaces at Cornwall, the
North Cornwall furnaces, the Corn
wall railroad and the Freeman in
terests in the Cornwall mines
Fourteen years ago the Iackawanna
company executed a. twenty-year lease
with the Freeman estate. of which
eX-Assemblyman William Coleman
Freeman is the head, and these in
terests are now to be turned over to
Schwab and his associates for the
uneXpired six years of the lease.
Formal transfer of the properties
and leases will be made to the Penn
Mary Steel Company, Il Pennsylvania
corporation, which now holds title to
the Pennsylvania Steel Company, here,
at Steelton and Sparrows Point, Md.
By ms purchase SchWaD acquires
control of all of Lebanon's biggest
iron and steel plants and above all be-
comes master of the Cornwall iron ore
mines. BY his Pennsylvania Steel pur-
chase he took title to the original G..
Dawson Coleman interests in the Corn
wall mines and now in buying the
Lackawanna company's Lebanon hold
ings he not only becomes owner of the
original Robert II. Coleman interests
in the mines, but also gains control for
the next six years at least of the Free
man holdings, amounting to fifteen
shares.
The control of these combined in
terests gives Schwab absolute dictator
ship over the mines operation.
With the requirement of the Lacka-
wanna and Freeman interests he now
dominates the local iron and steel in
dustry as it was never before con-
trolled by an individual or corporation.

Business to Profit

Local businessmen are of the belief
that this weeks record will surpass
those of previous Christmas seasons in
the towns business rush. Much of the
large pay coming to employees of the
local plant of the Bethlehem Steel
Company. which is the largest coming
in any single week in the history of
the plant. will no doubt be spent in
the borough.
During last week and the present
week every department in the works
will have received two pays. The
bridge shop and the frog and switch
department will receive two pays in
four days. These two departments
We're paid yesterday. and on Friday
they will again be paid. The salaried

The Governor said that he had

about the Capitol is that Mr.. Smith

has been getting numerous protests
by wire and letter against the removal
of the commissioner, whose record of
efficiency is generally praised. The
Governor is said to have decided to do
nothing for the present as It is only
with the greatest reluctance that he
has taken drastic action in other cases.
