IRON AND STEEL WORKS
INCREASE PRODUCTION
BY FIFTY PER CENT.
Boom in Industry Began
Last September and Is
Attributed to "War Or
dersSkilled Labor in
Demand.
An Improvement of DO per cent. In the
iron nnd steel Industry since last Sep
tember Is estimated by Philadelphia man
ufacturers and dealers, who declared to
day that a small boom has come. Fac
tories formerly running on part tlmo nro
now being operated at full capacity, and
others that have been virtually closed
down are working at a normal rato of
production.
Tho tremendous Influx of war orders
from the Allies has caused a marked
decrcaso In the city's unemployment, so
prevalent during tho last year. Iron and
steel mills aro tho direct beneficiaries of
tho largo demand for war material, but
the Indirect effect has been the stimula
tion of many lines of business, through
tho co-ordination of the many Industries.
According to labor leaders in tho iron
and otcol trades, there Is no reason why
skilled mechanics should bo without em
ployment today. Thousands of men who
walked the streets and searched for any
reasonablo position to cnablo them to
Btavo off dlsastor for their families
throughout tho winter may now earn
normal wages, and If desired. In most
enses earn tlma and half tlmo. So
urgent is tho need for skilled artisans,
notnbly In trades that deal with tho
pioductlon of finished metals, that Im
mense bonuses aro being offered to tho
more skilled workmen. This 1b especially
true of tho tradesmen who have been
employed In factories that have manu
factured munitions of war. The recent
Increaso of pay of 25 per cent, granted
to arsenal workmen by tho War Depart
ment was an effort to prevent the men
from forsaking Government employ for
private concerns which have Blgned con
tracts with the nllled powers of Europe.
In somq Instances tho war In Europe
has been responsible In a negative way
for the boom In local Industries. Tho
Hess-Brlght Manufacturing Company re
ports that they have not a single contract
with any European Power, yet they are
reaping tho benefits of the conflict In tho
Bamo measure as firms which aro manu
facturing actual munitions or equjpment.
Their Increased business Is due to the
blockade of German products. These ma
terials have to be manufactured in this
country owing to the stoppage of the Ger
man trade routes and the company Is
employing a large number of men In an
Industry that was not contemplated when
the company was developed. An officer
of tho concern today said;
"War has certainly made business good.
Indirectly wo are benefited by the
European auto contracts, for which we
have furnished steel ball bearings. But,
apart from this Increaso In our normal
production, wo have had to face a com
plete reorganization of our methods of
production. The British blockade, which
closed our porta to German goods, has
forced us to turn to the manufacturing
of our own row products. Wo have had
to employ a much larger number of men
than heretofore and tho prospects for
some time to come are that we shall be
unusually busy."
Nlles-Bament-Pond Company reports
that they aro employing more than twice
as many men as they did two years ago.
Tho firm states that they have all the
work they can handle, and that they
aro fprced to work not only full time,
but also three nights weekly.
The J. G, Brill Car Company states
that it Is again working at normal capa
city, and has no quarrel with existing
conditions. The Standard Roller Bear
ing Company .makes a similar report.
The shipbuilding companies nre busier
than heretofore. Several Important con
tracts are under construction at the
New York Shipbuilding Company. The
William Cramp & Sons Ship and Engine
Building Company reports that conditions
aro very much better, , , .
Both the Baldwin Locomotive Works
and the Mldvale Steel Works are again
approaching normal aotlvlty. The lo
comotive works U reported recently as
closing a contract for many millions of
dollars for ammunition

PLAN J
A protest ngalnst starting work on the
Broad strcot subway and tho Frankford
elevated llnea until universal free trans-
t fers have been obtained from
the Philadelphia n a p 1 d
Transit Company has been
sent to Councils by the
Northwest Business Men's
Association. Over, tho sig
nature of Charles L. Fluck,
chairman of tho Transportation Com
mittee, tho business men Issued a lengthy
statement surveying tho entire surface,
subway and elevated system In this city
and the negotiations which have been
entered Into for the Taylor high-speed
system.
Before any further steps aro takrn by
Councils to effect a beginning on the
high-speed lines, the business men Insist
that negotiations bo opened with the
Philadelphia Hnpld Transit for the aboli
tion of exchange tickets and the estab
lishment of universal frco transfers. Thd
business men doclare themselves Innlter
ably opposed to tho program of prompt
nctlon on the high-speed lines as advo
cated by Director Taylor.
Tho Northwest Business Men nlso Indi
cate that they feel their section of tho
I
city has been slighted in tho plans. Five
arguments are advanced for the Imme
diate abolition of tho exchange tlrkets.
Attacking Director Taylor, the state
ment asserts "that the public has been
Blow to realize that tho tables are com
pletely turned In tho transit situation
that Director Ta)lor, so loyally supported
by the public In all hla requests up to
March 1, la now champion for a piecemeal
procedure of transit development which
he, with tho support of the public, so
vigorously opposed previous to March i."
Director Tnylor declined to make any
comment on the protest of the business
men. Ho Indicated, however, that their
plea for delay would not alter his posi
tion In urging a prompt beginning on con
structlon work.

Pianos
and Player-Pianos
In the Strawbridge & Clothier Anniversary
Only Two More Days in Which to Take Advantage
of This Opportunity
AFTER five o'clock Wednesday, the extraordinarily
low prices, which we have placed on the Francis
Bacon Pianos and Player-Pianos for the Anni
versary Sale, will no longer be in effect. Never before in
the history of this Piano Store has such a remarkable
opportunity been presented. In fact, we know of no
"offer" ever made in Philadelphia that can compare, in
the saving and the exceptionally easy terms of payment,
with the advantages here presented.
. JfEVER before have the Francis Bacon Pianos or
fm Player-Pianos been sold at less than the standard
fixed prices. Thus in selecting the Francis Bacon
as the instrument to be sold under-price during the
Anniversary Sale, we are presenting a value of known
merit. To allow a saving on Francis Bacon Pianos and
Player-Pianos is indeed an advantage to be presente
'with pride, and a rare opportunity, well worth the
attention of every Philadelphian.
a v . k

A Clear Saving of More Than 25 yer Cent on Either Instrument

or charge, we have prepared a special lease settlement by which a small nrst payment win sena tne mbuumeni
n vnnr hnnRfl. mvments to be made monthly thereafter until the full amount is paid. There are ho interest
charges of any kind on either instrument. Delivery is made free to any point covered by our regular service.

In 1789 John Jacob Astor im
ported from London a piano which
he placed on sale in New York City,
thereby starting the first piano
business in America. Soon a store
was opened at 127 Broadway, near
Trinity Church. The business con
tinued gradually to increase. In
1802 Mr. Astor retired, being suc
ceeded by various manufacturers,
until 1836, when Mr. George Bacon
became associated with the Com
pany. Since 1836 the business has
been supervised by members of the
Bacon family Wm. P. H. Bacon
at the present time being the active
president of the Company, Many
famous manufacturers have re
ceived their training in the Bacon
factories, and the Francis Bacon
Piano is held to be one of the stan
dard instruments of the trade. It
may well be called "the oldest and
most reputable piano in America."
