INVENTORY TIME HERE,
CLERKS VERY BUSY
Annual Stock Taking on the Penn
sylvania Railroad Starts
Saturday August 1
With the arrival of large blank
Bheets, numerous book and blanks,
clerks employed by the Pennsylvania
IRailroad Campany realize that a busy
Beason is near. The annual inventory
fivill be taken during August, the work
to begin immediately after the mid
night hour on the night of July 31.
In taking stock every clerk, employe
and boss is a factor. Each clerk will
not only have to fill out large sheets
containing from 50 to 500 items, but
must accbunt for all stationery, books,
pencils, rubbers, etc., in his possession.
In the shops the men make up the
lists of the tools they are using, en
pines idle and awaiting repairs are
elso listed, so it the junk on the scrap
heaps. Idle equipment is also to be
looked over.
In the stockrooms the hardest work
Will be necessary. The clerks will
work day and night 1n order to com
plete the inventory of the numerous
tmpplies on hand. In many cases ma
terial will have to be weighed. This
requires labor and time. In addition
to taking account of stock while this
inventory work is in progress daily
«lips must be made out and attached
to the inventory lists. This will enable
the clerks in the general offices to
compute more closely the amount of
etock and value up to September 1 or
later date if the inventory is not com
pleted by that time. '

Man Who Figured in
Political Exchange
With Blease, Is Shot
By Associated Press
Columbia, S. C„ July 23.—Dr. J. H.
Mcintosh, who has figured In a po
litical exchange with Governor Cole
Blease, was shot to-day by an un-
I known assailant.
I Blease had announced that when he
1 spoke in Columbia to-day he would
j call Dr. Mcintosh to the platform to
confront him with certain statements.
Dr. Mcintosh says his assailant,
after shooting, made off, shouting,
"Now you won't bother Colie to-mor
row."
Bloodhounds have failed to pick up
a trail and the city and surrounding
country have heen thrown into a com
motion over the affair.
At the capitol a statement was issued
saying Blease regretted the affair and
that the governor's office would lend
all possible aid for the capture of the
assailant.
Strikers Meet Death in
St. Petersburg Streets
St. Petersburg, Pa., July 23. —At
least five striking workmen were killed
and eight seriously wounded during
the fighting in the streets of St. Peters
burg between strikers and cossacks,
which ceased only at dawn this morn
ing. Three police officials also are
known to have been severely Injured.
The figures quoted are official, but it is
generally understood that the casual
ties among the strikers were much
heavier, as it is thought probable they
concealed a number of their dead and
Wounded.

LITTLE DIEEEKE
. 11l STEEL BUSINESS
July Output Slightly Better Than
June in Finished Steel; Other
Trades Slump
While admitting that business ln
finished steel products is somewhat
better during July than ln June, the
Iron Age, in its current weekly sum
mary points out that conditions
throughout the steel trade is still away
below normal. Too much stress, it
says, has been laid in news dispatches
on reported big orders pending in
locomotive and car business.
I tt says:
"Business in finished steel In July
has been somewhat larger, the Steel
Corporation reports, than in June. Of
independent producers some have
done slightly better; others have found
little difference on the whole. The
Steel Corporation is now up to 70
per cent, in ingot production. An ad
ditional Carrie furnace and one at
Duquesne have been blown in, and at
Youngstown one more Ohio furnace is
to go in this week.
Railroads nre now ordering out from
the mills all the rails they expect to
lay in the construction period of 1914.
The Southern Railway's order has
been increased and the total amounts
to 40,500 tons —29,000 tons to the
Tennessee Company, ti.OOO tons to the
Illinois Steel Company, 4,000 tons to
the Cambria Steel Company, 1,000
tons to the Pittsburg Steel Company
and 500 tons to the Carnegie Steal
Company.
Undue emphasis has been paid in
some reports on pending car and loco
motive business, as though it were
new. Practically nothing has been
mentioned in news dispatches that has
not been before the trade for some
time.
The Canadian rail mill at Sault Ste
Marie underbid American mills on
3,000 tons of rails for the Toledo. St.
Loula and Western, as recently report
ed, but only 1,000 tons will be bought
now and they will probably go to a
Pittsburgh mill.
Foreign mills which set out to get
cotton tie busines by promising to go
under this year's price of domestic
mills whatever it might be, have cut
a small figure in the trade. As has
been seen in other steel lines, users
preferred to Kuy at home and the for
eign quotations did not cut deep
enough to draw the business away.
The market for semifinished steel
continues drooping. A sliding scale
contract for 18,000 tons of sheet bars,
1,500 tons a month, has been closed.
Some business has been done at $19.50,
maker's mill.
The Tata steel mill in India, that is
seeking to place an estimated surplus
of 20,000 tons of rails in this country,
has received a contract for 19,000 tons
from the India State Railway.
Pig Iron markets are more dis
couraging- as to prices than as to vol
ume. An Indiana purchase of 18,000
tons of basic brought close competi
tion from Toledo, Detroit', Columbus
and Chicago, which have equal
freight. The price was somewhat un
der sl3 at furnace. At Buffalo 45,000
tons of t)lg iron for the East River
tunnel segments was divided between
two furnaces."
