THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 10,
1891.
THE ONLY SOLUTIQ
For the Settlement of the Pig
Iron Trouble Lies With
the Railroads.
THESE MUST SURRENDER
Jeforc There Can I5e a Resumption
of Work in the Two Valleys.
THE CAUSE OP THE SHUTDOWN
In tho First Tlace Was Due Entirely to
Ovei-rrodnction.
THE SITDATIOX AKOCKD IOEXGSTOWN
fFKOM A STAFF COBBESrODEXT.l
Yocsgstowx, Feb. 9. This thriving
and wealthy little city is the metropolis of
the Mahoning and Shenango valleys and
the home of the Mahoning and Shenango
ValieT Iron Manufacturers' Association. It
is also the receiving and distributing point
far tne numerous lines of railways that tap
this fruitful region, and as such is the seat
of war in the present conflict of the pig iron
manufacturers against the railroads and the
coke comoine, a war as strange as it is un
common, in being waged between two fac
tors of combined millions. As a conse
quence a general paralvxation of the inter
ests directly aflected has taken place, and is
spreading itself out at a rapid rate, and
promises evil effects in case of continuance
to business in general of both valleys.
Tne frequent visitor to these districts can
not fail to notice the inactivity that at pres
ent everywhere, in both valleys, pervades
the aig iron industry, an industry upon the
condition of which depends to a great de
gree the prosperity of the people and of
general business within a radius of 25 miles
oi Youngstown. The cause of the general
depression, as stated briefly in mv former
letters, is the cessation'ot operations among
the blast furnaces, throwing thousands of
workmen out of employment and stopping
completely the manufacture of pig iron as
far as making it for sale on the market is
concerned. This deplorable condition of
affairs pig iron manufacturers attribute to
the poor demand and extremelv low urices
ruling lor pig iron, though they assert that
the condition would be one of activity were
the railroads inclined to listen to reason.
0er-Prodnctlon tho Prime Cause.
In conversation with several furuaccnien
as to the pronounced dullness in the market,
thev are a unit in attributing it to overpro
duction. During the last six months of the
jear 1590 large quantities of Southern iron were
received in tins market from furnaces in Ala
bama and Tennessee, which displaced an equal
amount of tallej lion. In the attempt toiind
a market for this surplus iron ereat competition
resulted and prices were cut unmercifully, and
in many cases attempts to dispose of it resulted
in failure, and it had to be stored in furnace
j ards, where great quantities of it till lie.
Furnace men further claim that it is only
through the assistance civen boutbern furnaces
by the Southern railroads that they are enabled
to shm their product into this market. The
railroads virtuallt enter into partnership with
the furnace men. They agree to hx the rates on
pig iron according to the selling price, and
further agree to protect the furnace men from
loss on contracts in case of the market declin
ing, by granting further reductions in freight
An illustration of the great disadvantages
home producers are working under can be
gained lrom a comparison or the rates of
freight charjred by Northern and Southern
railroads on like materials.
Southern roads haul mr iron from tho nirm.
ingbam district in Alabama to both lallcvs.
& distance of over 800 miles, for ti 10 per ton,
nbile Northern road cbarge S3 cents per ton
for a haul lrom this city to Pittsburg, a dis
tance of 6S miles. Acaln, the Southern roads
haul coke from the Pocahontas field to Chat
tanooga, Tenn, a distance of 425 mile?, for the
same rate per ton that Northern roads charge
for hauling from the Connellsville region to
this city, a distance of 130 miles.
Thus it can be seen how harmoniously the
Southern interests pull together, and how
mutually beneficial it is to tbem and how de
trimental to the prosperity or these districts.
In the Light of Tacts.
It does certain! seem, in the light of the
above examples of freight charges, that there
i no troth in the statements of Northern rail
way officials that any further reductions in
freight rates would wipe out the possibility of
earnings and dlvideuds, or that something is
radically wrong witn the management, or
organization, liow is it -possible for Soutliern
railroaas, running through scantly populated
and undeveloped territory, to earn profits and
declare dlvideads when Northern roads cannot
do so under many more favorable conditions.'
The on!) conclusion that can be arrived at is
this, that the i'labillty of Northern roads to
declare dividends on tlieir capitalization is due
to the fact that their stock is heavily watered,
which is not the case with Southern roads. For
instance, there is a feeder now operating not
lOOmllestroui Pittsburg. The length of the
line is only a few miles and there is no motor
equipment except a few engines. The road is
capitalized at fully 100 per cent more than the
cost of construction and equipment In order
to declare dividends on this capitalization they
must double the receipts, which are all from
freight, by charging twice the rates. That
would be necessary were the stock not watered.
This is the history of all the mads iu this ter
ritory, and explains why the Northern roads
cannot compete with the Southern roads in the
matter of fieigbt rates.
Cause of the Sliutdon n.
Repeated attempts were made by the Jlanu
f acturers' Association before the shutdown was
inaugurated to have the roads reduce the rates
sufficient to enable the futnacemen to keep
their furnaces in operation, but to no avail, and
to shut down was the only alternative left pro
ducers. since the market prices for their product
was not high enough to enable them to run
their plants with profit Thej did not close
down for the purpose of forcing the railroads
to yield, owing to the lack of traffic, or the
coke men to Ion er their prices, in order to keep
their ovens burning. It is simply because the
cost ot production is greater than the return,
and this cost could be made less than the sell
ing price and furnaces kept in blast were the
requests asked for granted.
As it is an open secret among all that the
coke men are willing to accede to the demand,
but are only w aiting for tho railroad's decision,
the power of resuming lies witbin the bands of
the railroads. The lull causes contributing to
the shutdown are truthfully stated above, and
the effects resulting are many and disastrous.
1 he first and greatest is the loss of trade to tho
big iron merchants.
The number of stacks in the two districts is
37. of which 22 are located in the Shenango
Valley and 15 in the Mahoning Vallev. The
production ot the two valleys in 1S90 was
1.225.000 tons. The number of stacks in blast
is the Etna at New Castle (two), capacity 40 000
ons; the KosenaatNew Castle (one) capacity
85,000 tons; Stewart Turnaces at Now Castle
(two), capacity 62.000 tons, and Brown, lionnel
A Co.'s at Youngstown (two), capacity 62,000
tons. This shows a total or seven slacks, witn
an annual capacity of 199,000 tons.
Assuming that their oi.tput is ihree-fourthBot
their cauacitv, thev would produce in one jcar
almost 150,000 tons, or 600 tons per day of 250
workingdajs. For20 daj s since theshutdowu
tUo production is about 120,003 tons. The
production of tho 37 stacks lat year on tho
same basis was at the rate or 4,900 tons per day,
and for 2D. days since the shutdown the pro
duction would be almost 100.000 tonsviTbe num
ber of tons lost is therefore about 90.000, and
figuring as the mean price of Bessemer and
mill irons for the period at S15, the loss to the
f crnacemen in business amounts to $1,350,000.
Hard On tho Workmen.
Besides ibis enormous loss, there is the loss
to the shippers of limestone and coke, and
merchintsfurni6hing furnaces with other sup
plies. The greater loss, however, falls upon
the workingmen, who have been thrown idle,
because they are less able to bear it A con
servative estimate places the number of idle'
""J"' .resuIt'ng from the shutdown,
at 8,000 .and I upon this number there is depend
ent fully 40,000. They are at present cot so
seriously affected as they will be in case the
idleness continues. The trade of merchants
has consequently been injured by the idleness
of this number of people, and many are dls
o.urago.1. f-aring tint if tho shutdown con
tiuues 1-i-g they in., forced to suspend bus
iness. A railing Off In Truffle
Tho loss of traffic and revenue to tho rail
roads has also been enormous. At tho offices-
of tho Lake Shore nnd Michigan Southern
Railroad the JSuperlntondent stated that their'
traffic on ore had fallen off 40 per cant, and
that the shutdown had reduced the volume of
business fully 23 per cent It was further staled
that their lino was the least injured by the in
activity, of any road entering the valley, for
the reason that they have only the oro traffic
from the lakes and a small portion of the big
iron shipments to Cleveland and the West and
that tho loss to tho roads hauling the coke
from the Connellsville region; limestone from
the eastern part of the valleys, and the pig
iron to the Eastern markets must be enormous.
In a conversation with a superintendent of
motive power of one or the principal roads cen
tering here, he said that there were more loco
motives and car in the different railroad shops
for repairs at present than at any previous
time for some jears, he stated that the rail
roads were taking advantage of the present
quietness for making their repairs. The num
ber of idle cars lying along thetratksof tho
different roads is very large. Many trainmen
havo been temporarily suspended from work,
and all he attributed to the lack of pig iron and
accompanying traffic, brought about by the
banking of the furnaces. On the whole, the
pig iron Industry is stagnantthe people of both
valleys discouraged, and general trade in con
sequence much depressed.
Will Boon Pass Away.
There is no question but what the cloud of
darkness that now overhangs the Mahoning
and Shenango Valleys will ultimately pass
away. Periods of great activity or depression
in trade are always followed by periods of an
opposite condition, but there is no reason why
tho trade of these naturally thriving districts
should for a day be inactive; nor would it be
were the greedy, grasping railroads for once in
clined to give the sitnation deliberate and un
prejudiced thought They are holding out in
the hope tbat something will turn up that will
cause the furnaces to resume without their
3 ielding in the question of freight rates.
Their particular hope is tbat the continued
shutdown will cause a scarcity of pig iron, in
which latter event prices would advance to a
point that would enable the furnaces to re
sume. But pig iron manufacturers here think
this is indeeu a very vain hope.
So long as the railroads assert their present
position to be their ultimatum time alone will
tell the outcome. This, however, I can say that
would the roads reduce their freight rates so as
to admit of a profitable margin, tbe industry
would again assume its former activity and
predominance.
At this writing there is not the least sign of a
break in the ranks of tbe f urnacemen, nor will
there be from the condition of their trade; nor
do the railroad officials show any untoward ap
pearances of yielding and it seems that the
solution of tbe vexed question of resumption
will only be accomplished by time. C. J. K.

tSFXCIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. I
ASTOONA, Feb. 9. Two weeks ago Dr. J. M.
Sbeedy engrafted about 100 pieces of human
skin on tbe leg of Louis Casey, who was injured
in the railroad shops here about three months
ago. The injury developed into blood poison
ing, and tbe man's life was in a very precarious
condition for a time. Ihe flesh and skin slough
ed off from the knee to the ankle joint and an
enormous abscess formed above the knee clear
to the hip.
Dr. Sbeedy resorted to the operation pf skin
grafting. One week ago be again transplanted
150 pieces of skin. Out or the 250 pieces over
200 have taken hold and ire growing nicely.
Those nearest the skin bava already united
with It, and those in tbe middle of the raw
surface have grown two or three times their
original size. Mr. Casey will not be deformed
in tbe least and will have a healthy leg inside
of six months.
