CUTS STEEL OUTPUT
Shortage in Ferro-Manganese Is
Becoming Serious.
Many Important Plants Threatened
With Enforced CurtaiIment-South
American Ore Largely Con-
trolIed by Allies.

Pittsburgh, Pa-The seriousness Of
the shortage in the United States at
the present time of ferro-manganese
as an alloy in making steel is disclosed
by reports that unless the situation is
speedily relieved many important steel
works will have to curtail the produc-
tiOn Of raw steel, while not few OF
the smaller open-hearth plants will
have to suspend operations entirely.
Pittsburgh reports intimate that man.
ganese prices may be expected to
reach the unprecedented figure of 5000
q ton or even more.
Manganese is used as an alloy for
steel employed in work which requires
that the metal shall possess both hard.

been fitted to nearly all high-speed

position will bend under a blow, but
seldom break, and frequently all that
is necessary to make a bent manga
nese blade good is to hammer 1t back
into shape. The blow that would
snap clean OF a steel blade of q pro-
peller only suffices, usually, to bend
one made of manganese.
While there have been scattered de-
posits of manganese ore found in the
United States, the supply is unstable.
and 1t may be said that practically all
the manganese used in steel making
in this country is imported.
The principal sources of supply of
manganese ore are India. South Amer
lea and Russia. Between the years
1910 and 1914 the United States i'm.
ported manganese ore in values Of ST.
592.073. for 1910; $2,196.661, in 1913,
and $1,S41.451, in 1914. In 1914 Brazil
sent to the United States 72,189 tons,
British India 1865 tons and Russia
in Europe 34,810 tons, and Russia in
Asia, 63,230 tons. In 1912 the Russian
Black sea ports forwarded directly to

source of supply has now been entire

FAMOUS Inn PASSES
Old Three Pigeons, Dear to
Shakespeare, Is Closed.
House Was Popular Resort for Poets
and Dramatists Of EIizabethan Era
Familiar to Readers Of
Dickens.

London-One of the last, II not
actually the last, of the old Elizabeth
an inns associated with the name OF
Shakespeare and his literary contem-
poraries, passes away with the closing
of the famous Three Pigeons at Brent.
ford.
Much of the old-timbered building.
including its low-carved and paneled
chambers, disappeared years ago, and
now comes the order Of the Middlesex
licensing justices that the ancient hos
telry must be closed.
The inn, which was owned by
Messrs. Charrington & Co., well-known
brewers, has been in occupation up to
the last, and although not in a bad
state of repair and having nothing
against its record, 1t was decided that
it now had become unnecessary.
When the place actually was built
no one can tell 1T was as old as the
hills" said one Of the district officials.
but we can give no more definite date
than that"
1t Is curious how popular the house
seems to have been with poets and
dramatists of the Elizabethan era, SEQ
ing that the old town appears to have
been always a byword for its dirt and
i'll odors." The town is constantly re-
ferred to by Thomson. Gay, Goldsmith
and others on account of its dirt, and
it is the subject Of one Of Doctor john
oou,o vooo< Fopouc Uihoo
And yet, whenever Shakespeare and
his friends had nothing better to do.
they seem to have turned their foot
steps westward to Brentford and there
held high revel at the Three Pigeons.
The house was the scene Of some OF
George Peele's Merry Jests," and Ben
Jonson wrote, We'll Tickle 1t at the
Pigeons"
In Shakespeare's time 1t was occu-
pied by one John Lowin. one Of the
tragedians who played at the old Globe
theater.
Shakespeare not only refers to the
town of Brentford in his plays, but
specifically mentions in q sarcastic
fashion the proprietress Of neighbor-
ing rival house, the Red Lion.
The house also is referred to in But
ler's "Hudibras" as the headquarters
of highwaymen, and later traditions
connect Dick Turpin with 1t. Up to
quite recent times there were mysteri-
GUS accounts of locked doors found un-
locked during the night and specters
- -
journers and shadows at the windows
O. nights.
In more modern times Brentford and
the Three Pigeons are familiar to
readers of Dickens. 1t was through
Brentford that little Oliver Twist was
made to tramp by Bill Skies on his
way to the burglary at Shepperton.
and the Inn itself Is mentioned in

PLUMBERS MUST NOT RIDE
Elkhart Union ForbIds Them to
Go on Bicycle for Short
Tasks.

Elkhart, Ind.-"We walk" has been
the slogan of Elkhart journeyman
plumbers since the passage of a rule
by the union forbidding the use of
bicycle or motorcycle in going to and

The penalty is a s. fine. Men are
permitted under the rule to ride to
work for all-day tasks, and to use
wheels at the noon lunch hour, but
they must not make intervening trips
on wheels. They may be passengers
at any time in vehicles provided by
their regular employers.
The rule was the result of a boast
at a union meeting of one Of the men
that he had completed an Unusually
large number of short jobs" during
that particular day, chiefly because he
used a bicycle.

vessels employed in carrying steel
products for export to the far East
have been employed in carrying man.
ganese ore cargoes, 1t is said. on re-
turn voyages. The British supply Of
manganese, 1t is declared, is now held
exclusively for the British government
needs and is unavailable for use in
the United States. There still re-
main the supplies obtainable in Brazil,
but according to current report the
Brazil-Nanganese is largely controlled
now by the allies. What South Ameri-
can manganese is reaching the United
States is wholly inadequate to the de-
mands.
Manganese steel contains about
twelve per cent of manganese and 1.50
per cent of carbon. The alloy was
first known as Hadfield's manganese
steel. Its ductility is effected by the
rate of cooling. Sudden cooling makes
the metal extremely ductile, while
slow cooling makes 1t brittle. In this
respect the behavior is the opposite to
that of carbon steel. The great hard
ness of manganese, however. is effect
ed by the rate of cooling.
In the shortage of manganese in the
United States at the present time
steel makers are as much concerned
over the question of future supply as
they are at the prospect CT Immediate
ly advancing prices.
The situation with reference to man.
ganese is shared largely by high speed
steel. Chromium and tungsten enter
largely into the making Of high speed
steel. and the making of high speed
steel tools has been to q very great
extent British industry.
The British government, It is un.
derstood, will not permit any high
speed steel to be exported at present,
and it is now we'll nigh impossible to
obtain high speed cutting tools in this
country.
The introduction of chromium and
tungsten into steel mixtures yields q
red hardness which makes it possible
for tools to cut metals even when the
temperature of the cutting tool under
a high speed drive is raised to 500 de-
grees Centigrade, or Lip degrees Fahr-
enheit. This heat is occasioned by
the friction under the high speed
working. In consequence of high
speed, steel machinists can cut down
metal with a lathe nearly six times as
fast as with carbon steel tools.

Both Sides Must Recede.

Under President Wilson's suasion the
railway managers are about ready TO con-
cede the eight-hour work day which the
"Big Four" brotherhoods are demanding
provided some body such as the Interstate
Commerce Commission may make rules Tor
its application to practical railroadlng'
The union representatives, on the other
hand. maintain their attitude OF refusing
to arbitrate anything or to make any con-
cessions. They demand IAN eight-hour day
with no strings on ii"
This is a selfish, arbitrary position
which, if maintained, is bound TO be fatal
to any peaceful settlement of the contro-
versy. 1t argues, in the face of the rail-
WAYS willingness to make concessions, to
arbitrate the issues before any competent
body, a disregard of the public welfare
which the public will be slow to forget.
President Wilson is said to have devoted
most of his persuasive powers to the rail-
road side Of the controversy, so far. 1t
might be well for him to pay more atten-
ton to the union representatives. The dan
ger appears to lie at present, in their re-
fusal to recognize that no quarrel was ever
settled without concessions from both sides.
Capital, in this case, has departed nota-
bly, from its traditional attitude of "tha
public be damned" and has been willing
to go far to safeguard the public's inter
ests. Is it possible that labor representa-
tives are anxious to acquire for them
selves all the antagonism which such an
attitude inevitably engenders from the
public?

A New Trial for Stielow.

The confusion now surrounding the
case of Charles Stielow, condemned to
death for a double murder, leaves but one
point clear-that is, that new trial
should be granted to the defendant as
quickly as the machinery of the law can
arrange it. The eagerness of the local
authorities to dismiss the tramp who first
cleared Stielow and then retracted his con-
fession was to be expected and calls for no
excited comment. 1t flows from the same
sense of duty and the same desire to see
punishment meted out for crime which
obtained the conviction of Stielow by third
degree methods.
The strange part of the present efforts
is the apparent belief behind them that
quick legal action can somehow destroy
doubts and send Stielow TO the chair forth
with. That is legalism at its extreme
and worst. Poor, blind Justice is left for

Prohibition and Crime.
or of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir. Rollin O. Everhart tries to run away
from my exposure of his unfounded asser-
tion that the "a per cent increase IN the
rate of insanity under prohibition IN Kansas
l. due 10 the classification Of "lnebrlates as
insane by the tme-worn argument, You're
.nother." Even though had blundered in
reoard TO the rate of homicides in Kansas
that would be no excuse for his misrepre-
sentation of the facts relating to the increase
Of insanity in that state.
Mr.. Everhart says that / quoted the
United States census as authority for the
statement that nineteen states have fewer
homicides than Kansas. / did nothing oil
the kind. quoted the census figures show
ing that Kansas has 1l.6 murderers per
100000 population, but did not give my
authority for the statement as to the COM
narrative homicide rate in various states
This latter statement was based on unofficial
figures compiled from various sources, which
| have reason to believe are accurate.
Frederick L. Hoffman, statistlclan OF the
Prudential Life Insurance Company, has
made a careful study of the homicide record
in various cities. His figures, published in
that in the year 1914 the cities of Memphis,
Savannah, Atlanta and Nashville were, re-
spectively, first, third, fourth and sixth in
the list giving the number of homicides.
All these cities are under prohibition. IL
prohibition decreases crime, why have these
prohibition cities this evil prominence?
Milwaukee, the wettest city in the coun-
try, with the largest number of drinking
places in proportion to population, has the
fewest homicides in the list of thirty cities
If prohibition decreases crime in Kansas,
what diminishes it in Wisconsin?
Mr.. Everhart gives as one reason for the
high percentage Of murderers in Kansas
prisons he assertion that "the 1910 census
credited to Kansas not only the states pris-
oners, but the nations prisoners in the Fed
eral prison at Leavenworth, as we'll" This
statement is not true. In letter dated
August 4. Hon. S. L. Rodgers, Director of the
Census, says:
"The lJ2 prisoners convicted OF grave and
lesser homicide in Kansas were in state
prisons and penitentiaries, and were not
included with those in the Federal prison
at Leavenworth." WHIDDEN GRAHAM.
