Pittsburgh Faces Closing
of Industries Through Ice
Gorges and Intense Cold

Pittsburgh, Pa, Feb 5.-With
the Pittsburgh Industrial district in
the midst of another period of in
tense cold, the steel industry to-day
again faced almost complete paraly-
sis. Inability to obtain coal supplies
during the moderate weather of the
last few days on account of ice
gorges was held responsible for the
conditions which steel men say will
force the closing down of the great
er part of the mills and furnaces
unless relief can be obtained within
two days.
Ten degrees below zero was reg
istered by the weather bureau, and
this held between Z and 8 o'clock
this morning. At 8 o'clock there
was a rise of one degree but no en-
couragement for relief from the ir-
tense cold was offered. AS a result
few street cars are able to run
while local train service is most un-
reliable and trains are run without
regard to schedule and as often as
possible to accommodate the crowds
that abandon trolley service.
The Allegheny and Monongahela
rivers had been partially open
ed up by ice breaking steamers
and dynamite, in an attempt to
avert serious flood conditions.

Forty-MIe Gale Causes
Worst Conditions Known
Since March, 1883, Tieup

Reading Pa, Feb. 5.-The traffic
situation on the Reading Railway
this morning, as indicated by official
reports received from various points
especially on the Shamokin division
show that they We're equally as bad
as they were during the great bliz-
zard in March, 1888.
A forty-mile gale, drifts of snow
from four to ten feet deep, coal
branches choked up and numerous
trains stalled, failure of the water
supply at watering stations and the
temperature from to IS degrees
below zero, freight and coal trade
at a standstill, briefly tell the story
No attempt was made to move much
traffic during the night.
On the Reading division in West
ern Schuylkill the situation is seri-
Gus. Derailments occurred at a num-
ber of places and quite a few of the
locomotives were caught and held
in the big drifts. Many of the min
ers employed at Lincoln Brookside
and other mining operations were
unable to reach the mines. Condi-
tions in the anthracite belt are worse
than they have ever been during the
winter.
Some of the Reading railway of
ficials were at their offices in this
city all night. When it was found
that it would be risky to start out
the train from ST. Clair for fear that
they would stick enroute and tie up
the main line little coal or freight
was moved.

HUCKSTERS AND
JUNK DEALERS
VIOLATE LAWS
City Sealer Urges Drastic Ac-
ton in Annual Report
to Council

Declaring that many junk deal
ers and hucksters have no regard
for city ordinances and are con-
stantly violating them, II. ID. Reel,
city weights and measures inspector,
in his annual report to Council,
urges drastic action be taken, such
as revoking of licenses. Inspector
Reel also suggests the adoption of
a standard shape license tag, chang
ing the color each year, as the state
does the auto license tags.
According to Mr.. Reel there have
been fewer complaints against the
hucksters, but in examining scales
found to be incorrect and some had
been tampered with so that persons
selling rags or junk were being de-
liberately cheated. Some of the
dealers also do not wear badges as
required by law and turn their Ii
cense tags on the wagons in such
way that it is difficult to get the
correct number, the official reports
Because of many phone calls and
other inquiries about weights and
measures laws, Mr.. Reel recommends
the employment of n clerk for the
office, as there is no one in charge
when he is out making an inspection
trip in any part of the city. The
office should be open at all times,
according to Mr.. Reel.
Dealers generally have shown a
spirit of cooperation, Inspector
Reel reports. During the year there
were twelve prosecutions with con-

Railroad Transportation
Paralyzed as Thermometer
Registers Is Below Zero

Pottsville, Pa, Feb. 5.-Railroad
transportation was almost paralyzed
this morning with the thermometer
registering sixteen degrees below
zero in Pottsville and strong north
west wind blowing. In the st. Clair
yards eighteen engines are frozen
up solid, while traffic is tied up at
many other points from the same
cause. At one of the local railroad
depots it was impossible to get an
engine to shift freight cars to be
unloaded. Many of the collieries
were unable to work on account of
the cold. The drafting snow has also
seriously interfered with the rail-
roads in providing cars for the
mines.

All wagon scales were inspected
and were found to be in good con-
dition, Inspector Reel urges the re-
building of the city scales so that
they can stand the additional strain
when weighing heavy auto trucks.
Smaller scales also were tested and
only few were condemned outright.
Spring scales are of q better and
more reliable type also, Mr.. Reel
reports.
Constant inspection in the market
houses resulted in a big improve
ment in conditions there, the official
continues. The city scales in the
markets are inspected regularly. one
each is located in the Chestnut Street,
Verbeke Street and Hill markets.
Installation of a new one at the
Kelker Street market is urged.
Attention is called to minor work
during the year, such as inspection
of milk bottles. The more important
inspections last year are summarized
as follows:
