OF the United States Steel corpora
toms coal piles at Stockton, near
Pine beach, Gary, will be fought
Systematically and the blaze will

gaining ground on the European
battle fronts.
The smouldering fire, which has
given the corporation trouble for
months and which was believed TO
have been extinguished by the cold
weather, has. broken out along
quite a stretch. For a third of a
mile the giant coal pile, 90 feet
wide and as high as a two-story
house is emitting spurts of fire,
steam and smoke. At the west end
of the giant volcano the top blaze
IS said to be consuming coal at the
rate of hundreds of tons.

blaze the corporation has begun sys-
tematic fight on it.

has no jurisdiction over Industrial coal.
Other steel plants in the region have
had spontaneous combustion troubles
with their coal reserves. and this is be
lieved to be the cause of the Gary blaze.
