PLANTSPREPARED
FOR STEEL UPTURN
Carnegie. Illinois Fires New
Furnace-Beehive Coke
Ovens Cleaned.
BY the Associated Press.


PITTSBURGH, September 2S.-A
q. 8. Steel subsidiary blew in another
blast furnace yesterday simultaneously
with reports Of cleaning up activities
about its long idle beehive coke ovens,
steps which the steel trade here re-
garded as indicative Of an impending
increase In production.
A fresh wave Of buying by auto.
motive, railroad and other industries
seeking to escape q $2-a-ton increase
effective October /, and the uncer.
tain labor and coal outlook for the
second quarter Of 1887 have been ex-
pected to step up the output. placed
at 1871 per cent Of capacity last week
by the Iron Age.
The Carnegie Illinois Steel Corp.
blew In the twenty.nrst of It's 80 dis.
trict blast furnaces in the suburban
Edgar Thomson mill. the largest mum.
Der 1t has operated since 1880. A
year ago IL were in use.
Observers Puzzled.
Uniontown reported the H. c. Frick
Coal g. Coke Co., producer of vir.
tually all the coal for the steel cor.
poration, began clearing up several
closed mines and beehive coke ovens
there.
Onicials declined to affirm or deny
this report.
United States Steel companies have
not used beehive coke for years, be-
cause valuable by-products are,
wasted in its 'coking"
So this latest step puzzled some OBJ.
servers because the corporation is
supposed to have SUFFICIENT by-prod.
ucts plants to supply all of its mills.
The huge Clarion, Pa. by-products
plant has been using its 1882 ovens
for some time, but there is an idle
l80-oven plant at Cleveland and q
battery Of SO ovens not working at
the National Tube Co.'S Lorrain
mills.
One source advanced the explana.
ton that beehive coke ovens can be
placed into operation faster and
cheaper than the by-product plants.
Labor Showdown Awaited.
several otner Steel company SUD.
sidiaries have ordered beehive coke
recently. paying $3.50 a ton, an in
crease of about 20 cents over the
former market. Some of these, how.
ever, are understood to be committed
to deliver much Of their by-product
coke to the domestic market.
The industry is looking toward
April as a likely zero hour" for Q
labor move. On that date tbs
United Mine Workers contracts with
coal operators expire. unless q new
agreement Is reached.
President John L. Lewis and Vice
President Philip Murray are ths
guiding figures in the big drive to
organize the steel workers into ons
union.

Giver Of Life and Light. People, who
In that far day gathered to welcome
the return Of the sun, recognized the
supreme role which he plays in our
human life.
The sun is returning to us again
in this early spring weather; the
days are lengthening out, and we
can feel the sap of vitality moving
again in the living things Of the
earth. We need not worship it in
the blind and superstitious manner
Of the ancient Egyptians. but in the
FULL scientific knowledge of what it
means to our life on this earth.
Fire Releases Solar Engery
When you build fire in the crate
during the winter evenings. you have
simply unbottled the solar energy
which the coal or the wood, or the
gas, or the oil. absorbed and stored
many years ago. The movem hts
that we make with our muscles are
nothing else; simply the release Of
solar energy as it was stored up by
plants and which We obtained In our
food.
The story is ID Of the inventor.
