THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 1, 1900.
LIVE NEWS OF THE
INDUSTRIAL WOULD
AUTOMATIC COUPLER LAW IS
NOW IN EFFECT.
Itoads Entering Scrnnton Have for
Some Time Been Getting Into
Shnpc to Meet the New Require
ments Fig Iron Output of the
United States for First Half of the
Year Review of tho Iron Market.
Make-up of the D., L. & W. Board
for Today.
At 12 o'clock last night the law re
quiring nil railroad cars to be equipped
with automatic couplers and all trains
to have air brakes enough to control
It, went Into effect, after having laid
inoperative for nearly seven years.
The act was passed by congress in
JSM with tho proviso that it should
tuko effect Jan. 1, 1S9S. When this
time approached the railroads of tho
country pooled Issues nnd succeeded
In Inducing the Interstate commerce
commission to allow a two years ex
tension for meeting tho requirements
of tho law, the argument used being
that the business depression had left
many railroads financially unable to
meet the huge outlay required and fur
ther, that even It this was not so, It
would bo Impossible to comply with
tho net, as the manufacturers of the
various patented parts that go Into the
construction of the couplers could not
in the specified time turn out all the
orders that would be consequent upon
n general compliance.
Jan. 1, WOO, approached nnd many
of tho railroads were still without the
prescribed equipment. Another exten
sion of n year was asked for, but the
commissioners declined to grant It,
but, after some hesitancy, agreed to
allow another six months grace.
The six months were up last night
nt midnight nnd, according to local
inllrond men, every road in the United
States Is In a position to strictly obey
the law.
Some roads were not as aggressive
as they might be expected to be In
making good the assurances given tho
commissioners at the time of the last
extension, but these were brought to
time by the action of tho larger of the
complying railroads In serving notice
that after July 31 they would refuse to
handle any cars not equipped with au
tomatic couplers.
Some cars, of course, are still want
ing tho prescribed safety device, but
they will not be thus for any great
length of time.
Host of the roads are represented In
the Master Car Builders' association
and through this association an agree
ment vns reached that any company
encountering a car not supplied with
the automatic coupler should treat It
as a "damaged ear," supply It with
the prescribed coupler and charge the
expense to the owner. Any company
not entering Into this agreement had
the alternative of having its cars re
turned to It empty.
The roads entering Scranton have
all been shnped to meet the full re
quirements of the law for some time
pant. The Lackawanna, on account of
Its several heavy grades, met the "air
brake" requirement of the law long
before tho act became operative.
Chief Clerk Poore, of General Super
intendent Russell's olllce.'sald yester
day that his road could report itself
"100 per cent" equipped according to
the demands of the act, and far more
than 100 per cent, in the matter of air
brakes.
The law was designed to protect
train men against "coupling" acci
dents. The result, as will be shown
In interstate commerce commissioners'
statistics a year hence, will be awaited
with Interest.

them are to lha rflect that a con
siderable volume of business may be
expected.
Inquiries for export continue to
come In, but most of them are hasefl
on prices lower than makers, are yet
ready to consider. There seems to be
a general opinion abroad that the Iron
trade here has gone to pieces, nnd
that any offers will be welcomed. Our
makers aro hatdly ready to trade on
that basis; especially as there Is so
far no great surplus to be disposed of.
