Pig Iron Output
.Curtdi|ed in Ohio

YOUNGSTOWN. July 14--Car-
negie-Illonis Steel Corp. has re.
duced pig iron output OF its six
Ohio works blast furnaces nearly
.25 per cent because OF coke
shortage resulting from curtail-
ment of production al the by-pro-
ducts coke plant al Clairtown, Pa.
The wildcat coal mine strikes are
responsible. 1t is said.
While not actually suspendlng
any of the furnaces. the plant re-
duced the blast through the six
furnaces so that they are produc-
ing only the equivalent of 412
furnaces. This is likely TO have
some effect on the output of steel
lngots. since the use of larger
quantities of cold metal in open
hearth furnaces will slow up the
time Of the heats.

5 per cent since the 1910 census.
counting an estimated 1900 per-
sons in the armed forces, IT had

Since June 30, 1910. the number
Of water meters in Flint has
leaped from 1868 to $3.50, an
increase of 1896, water depart
