Manganese Pros
poets in So. Ore.
(By A. E. Kellogg.) }

whoever can produce manganese
today can sell. That is one metal
that does not pass through the gate
way OF trust to reach the mar
ket," appeared in the Mining and
Scientific Press in last weeks issue.
The extraordinary demand for this
metal in the manufacture of open
hearth steel, and the curtailment of
available foreign resources, has led
to a crisis.
The imports of ferro-manganese
have declined from an average of
1877 tons monthly in 1916 to 2,717
tons in last June, while our domestic
output during the same period has
shown an increase from 1S,461 to
21,941 tons per month. At the end
of June a total monthly tonnage
seems to be established, whereas the
requirements of the steel Industry
amount to $4,000 tons.
Ferro-manganese receipts from
England are rapidly declining and
the situation for the steel industry in
the United States. due to this de-
cline, looks very discouraging. With
losses by the submarine sinkings
amounting to 1000 to 5000 tons the
past two months, and with a more
acute condition in that country as
regards the ore and alloys to meet
their own demands. future imports
from Great Britain are not likely to
renew the requisite amount to meet
our needs Of $4,000 tons per month.
The shortage is so acute and seri-
Gus in the United States that the al
10y committee of the Council of Ma
tional Defense has issued a warning
to the steel makers to adopt every
possible means to recover the man.
ganese by the remelting of Stag and
the substitution Of spiegeleisen as far
as practicable also has been suggest
of. This unexpected development
again brings up the question of
means to meet this or worse contin-
gency. It is generally understood
and accepted that metallurgically
there is no satisfactory substitute for
manganese in the manufacture of
steel. Both ferro-manganese and
spiegeleisen contain much carbon.
We're lower manganese alloys avail
able, having a low carbon-content,
they would probably be as satisfac-
tory as the present ones, and could
be much used.
A solution for the problem, which
holds out some hope, is the conver-
sion of our immense deposits of vall
liable iron ores in southern Oregon
into low-carbon manganese-iron al
10y. Blast furnace reduction does
not meet the requirements. The cleo
trio furnace may solve the problem.
With 40 per cent ore selling at 90 |
cents per unit, or s4O.32 per long
ton, +. o. b. Pittsburg, 1t is evident
that an ore with a concentration ra-
ito as low as Al would prove profit I

LANCASTER TOBACCO MEN
BOOST THEIR PRICES HIGH
Some Declare They Won't Accept 80
Cents Pound and Big Buyers
Hang Back

LANCASTER, Pa, Sept 3.-Leaf tobacco
men are complaining about what they claim
are the unreasonably high demands Of Ian
caster County tobacco growers for the new
crop. now about maturing. Some OF the
growers declare they will not accept thirty
cents n pound now.
In spite Of their confident assertions that
they believe they will get twenty-five cents.
a feeling of uneasiness Is apparent among
them over the failure of big outside cigar
companies to buy, These concerns are cred
tied with carrying a reserve stock Of leaf

AHOY! HEAVE HO! AVAST!
OYSTER BOATS DOCK
Economical, Nutritious and, of
Course, Succulent, Bivalves
Will Have Busy Season

1t is true that the oyster season opened
on Saturday. But then they merely got
out of bed. Now oysters r here. The van
guard of the oyster army nosed their way
through the mist of dawn today and cudded
up to the docks along the Delaware.
There was a rush for these pearls of
september and when separated from their
winter homes they came up to all eXpecta-
ticns.
Neither the war nor the high cost of
living has worried the oysters in the slight
est but they will be higher this year on
account of the increase in the cost of labor
increase of foodstuffs for the crews who
gather them in and other expenses which
arc more than usual.
Two boats of Matthew J. Ryan, of Front
and Dock streets, arrived with oysters from
Maurice River before dawn today. willing
hands were there ready to greet them and
in quick time they We're on shore and ready
for the market Beginning today there will
be fresh carload shipments of Maurice
Coves. Western Shores, Oak Island and Fire
Island Blue Points.
In view of the high cost of other edibles
oysters are assured of a popular and busy
season.
Many authorities on foodstuffs agree that
the oyster contains vital phosphates that
build body and brain, and what more could
one expect-especially when they are eco.
nomcal
Oyster stews. fries and brois will OF
course be higher on account of the high
cost of cooks and walters.
Speaking of the latter, most of them ex-
pect higher tips on account of the high cost
of living. Did 1t ever occur to them that
the H. c. of l.. also affects the patrons they
serve!

U. 5. EXPERTS MUST Aid
BRITISH TO BEAT U-BOAT
Appointment of Commission to
Cooperate With Admiralty
Favored, Says Moore
CONGRESS MAY ACT LATER
No Disposition Shown at Present to
Embarrass the Navy De-
partment
WASHINGTON. Sept. 3.

WASHINGTON, Sept j.
Washington has shown considerable in
terest in the suggestion that an American
commission of naval experts should be APP
pointed to cooperate with the British Ad-
miralty in the campaign against the Ger
man submarines. Representative Moore. OF
Philadelphia, who has discussed this mat
ter with the Navy Department. Is of the
opinion that such a commission would not
only be helpful but extremely desirable
from an American viewpoint.
1T is generally conceded" said Con-
gressman Moore today, that the submarine
menace Is the worst problem which the
British Admiralty has to contend with. 1t
was known before the war, more than three
years ago, that the Germans had caught up
with the submarine idea. and were per-
fectlng themselves in the use of that ves-
sci. This was called to the attention of the
British Admiralty by Sir Percy Scott and
others before hostiities commenced. The
fact that Great Britain did not seem to be
fully aroused to the importance of the sub
marine and was too much inclined to rely
upon the United States was called to the
attention of Congress before the President
presented his war message
The great loss of shipping due to the
submarine since that time, affecting the tom
mage of America and the neutral nations
as well as that of England, has given much
concern to the naval officials of the United
States. 1t has also given rise to feeling
in certain Congressional circles that, while
Great Britain is retaining a fairly strong
hold on merchant ship construction. she has
not been making sufficient provision for the
protection of neutral commerce, for ours
or for her own against the enemy sub
marine. This has given rise to rumors that
there is too much conservatism or self
reliance in the British Admiralty as at
present constituted, and that there prevails
there what might in the United States be
denominated the stubbornness of the pull
hack" Ar American commission made up
of experts competent to discuss submarines
Nmight help to remedy this situation if it
prevails"
Asked whether Congress would be likely
to take any action on the commission prop
osition. Mr.. Moore said 81 have no doubt
it will be discussed and that i'm due course
some, action will be taken. We are in
ment is alive to the situation and is being
advised by the best experts of the country.
and for the present there is no disposition
to embarrass the department. If subma rine
losses continue to an alarming extent be-
yond the proportions already reached. how
ever, it is not improbable, in view of the
large expenditures being authorized by Con-
gress and the aid being directly extended
to Great Britain. that some inquiries as to
the operations of the British Admiralty
may ensue."
