CHICAGO, March l5.--An improve
ment has been noted III the sale and
production of steel sheets in this dis
trict az well as in the pig iron market.
A big volume of pig iron business is
being booked at $40 ton, with soma
bringing $20,50.
PHILADELPHIA -- Local textile
mills are slackening production. Con
servatism is the reason assigned by
many experts. Operations of cotton
mills in this section are running be
tween 20 and so per cent of normal ca
pacity. Wooden and worsted mills
have slowed up even more. There is
distinct Discrimination TO accumulate
large stocks.
DETROIT-The Chevrolet Motor Co
has had to work overtime and night
shifts 10 meet demand for cars. In
the last month over SIS 800 cars were
turned out. Production so far this
year has been over so 900 cars in ex-
cess Of that for the corresponding pc
riod OF 1926.
CL4EVELAND.-Cle interests
will be in the market for considerable
aluminium before long, since the trac-
tion company will build and put on so
? aluminium street cars. The aluminium
car built for the company last year is
80 per cent lighter than the steel car
and Is said TO require 20 per cent less
power.

PROSPECT OF COAL

cally we are not going to get togetiier
with the union" ,,.-.
That was the statement dellEeIeu
TODAY by +. f. Taplin of Cleveland,
,,residanf of the North American Coal
Co. which in turn controls Pittsburgh
Terminal Coal and other bituminous
producers. Mr. Taplin is recognized
as one of the leaders of the soft coal
I operators in the central competitive
field.
do YOU think there will be strike
in the soft coal fields April ~ he was
asked.
"Yes, / think there will be-
Leaders of the miners are less COM
initial but the men themselves fully
anticipate that orders will be given for
walkout on that date.
Consumers Little Worried.
Industrial coal consumers through
out the country were inclined when
these viewpoints were brought TO
their attention to say:
We'll, what of it?"
The Pittsburgh Coal Co., one of the
largest Pennsylvania and Kentucky
s1producers. is operating on a non-union
basis. Signs are not lacking that this
concern expects to feel some of the
results of a cessation of work. The
non-union fields are set to step up
production to fully as high point as
when the British coal strike caused an
unprecedented demand for American
fuel.
1t is true anticipation of a strike
has spurred steel operations in the
Mahoning Valley to around 81 per
cent of plant capacity. Forty-four OF
the SO independent open-hearth fur
naces are operating, and ITO of the
1877 Independent sheet units are under
power, but 100000 tons of COAL rep
resenting 60 to 80 days fuel supply,
have been piled up there by operators
in reserve. The same Is true in other
sections and other lines.
Failing to Keep Pace.
The failure Of coal interests to keep
pace with the times is shown plainly
in their own operations. Coal mines
in Illinois now are buying from power
companies (most of which produce
their electric power from Illinois coaD
100000 horsepower year. In other
words, the public utilities producing
electric power can furnish that power
to coal mines cheaper than the mines
can develop their own power at the
pit mouth.
Facilities for maximum capacity
load in case of emergency and the
losses due to incorporation for that
capacity make the unit costs of pro-
ducing power by the mine itself rela-
lively high. The first Illinois mine
4, was electrified in 1912 Now more
tthan 200 are electrically equipped, all
Or which secure the major part of
their power from outside sources.
Fuel experts contend that if coal
mines cannot utilize their own prod
uct effectively for production of pow
er, there must be other leakages
which make the cost of producing
coal unnecessarily high.
The possibility of a strike is not
worrying industry materially. The
general feeling of those who use cleo
trio power is 'let the central stations
worry" The central stations and the
industries which use coal direct are
not worrying, for they have reserve |
stocks.

structed to add the projected build

ing lines will be "a feet and the

Legal information will be sought
in regard to the water and sewer
pipe lines laid in the streets. also
about the northern ends of the
streets where they cross the trolley
tracks of the Connecticut Co. The
commission is-in doubt about these
locations as it has never crossed
tracks with street before; it is for
hidden to put a street across rail-
road tracks but it is believed the
ban does not extend TO the electric
roads.
When this information has been
gathered Il hearing date will be set

lall, when members of the school
board outlined the need Of the pur-
chase of two plots OF ground, one
situated on Alling street. kensing-

and exercise space was also ex-
planned. The Alling street property
involves approximately one and one
half acres while the property hear
the South school consists of about
