SCHWAB SEES EAST AND NOT WEST AS BIG STEEL CENTER rContiuucd from l-'irst Page] | has traditions to live up to an<J with ; its admirable location it is a natural , place for a steel mill." In tracing the growth of the steel ! industry Mr. Schwab told how in 1 880 a million tons of steel a year was ; considered the limit. -Now we are) making 85 million tons every year," he declared, "and the i-n<l is not yet. I "I believe that this country will continue to grow and to prosper and j that the steel Industry will continue ] to grow. Already it lias passed cotton j as the chief industry of the United 6t&tcs East Will Be Steel Center "I believe that the industry will grow most and develop fastest in the East. In the Middle West the mills roust depend on the Lake Superior oro and late estimutes place the de posits there at from 12 to 15 billion j tons. Last year alone anout C 5 mil lion tons were mined. How many years until this ore is exhausted or i becomes very expensive? Maybo the vision was a little j Utopian, but Charles M. Schwab- once \ etood at a window in his office down in j South Bethlehem. Pa., and looked out j over a steel plant that was almost i decrepit—a mill that employed but : 4.000 men. And now, scarcely more ! than a decade later, if he desires he can sign the payroll of about 75,000 men and his mills are second in the ■world to but the great United States Steel Corporation in size and produc tion. Men Who See Visions It was Charles M. Schwab, the man •who had a, vision there in his office, who painted part of the picture of the Greater Harrisburg of the future. His youthful associate. Eugene G. Grace, president of the Bethlehem interests, was another of the painters. Together these two presented the vision of the community's future in dustrially, and it was left to E. 'A. Wallower, leader of many movements for civic development; Spencer C. Gil bert, on e of the city's pioneers in the work for a hotter, bigger Harrisburg. and to Edward F. Trefz, Chicago, field secretary of the National Chamber of. Commerce, to paint the picture of the | city's future along the lines of civic ] improvement. Thing* That Are to Come Mills that will someday rival those ] at Bethlehem were pictured by Mr. Schwab and Mr. Grace; schools that j will be second to none, with adequate high schools and manual training facilities were pointed to by Mr. Trefz and a new, modern twelve-story, 300-roomed hotel was pictured by Mr. Wallower, the man who is going to make THAT dream come true. Perhaps no speaker who over ad dressed the local business men was listened to more attentively than was Mr. Schwab last evening when he told of his first vision of the Bethlehem, of the subsequent early years of dis appointment, reverses and incessant toll, and then of the steady building upward until the present Rethlehem Steel Company with its myriad mills turns out every kind of iron and steel product from a small nail to a com plete anil fully equipped ocean liner.

TUESDAY EVENING, 1 HARRISBUHG TET.EGRAPH OCTOBER 3,1918. master stoc ' at the head of the ban quet tables the very picture of real , American democracy, took his listeners j • n his confidence, and modestly told ; them what he has done at Bethlehem and what he hopes will be done at j Steelton. Briefly he outlines the fa- : mous Schwab bonus system and the j Schwab methods of organization and j how they could equally as well be j applied to the business of any of the! men present, small though they be. ; The message Ihat he brought to j llarrisburg was that the mills at Steel- ! ton are going to "hum," that they are j going to grow. "1 take it," said he, "that I am not to go into details about our plans for j Steelton to-night, but rather that. 1 am to come here to renew old friendships I and to make new friends. Men, I | hope to make you my friends; I hope 1 1 find good friends here, and, men, I I hope you will find me a friend of j whom you may be proud to number as i one oL' you. j Schwab's Principles "Briefly t would (ell you of the j underlying principles that govern us in our work at Bethlehem. These are 1 a hearty sympathy for the men with j whom we work and a sincere love for our fiiends. "These things and the system we have at Bethlehem are to guide us in ' our work. I want to tell you about j that system. It is somewhat unique. Every man is paid for his individual ! ■ effort. But it is not a mere profit- I sharing plan. You divide with the ! man who deserves extra recompense. I "You have a man at the head of I every department and you make that | man feel that he is owner of that par- | ticular part of his business. If he i makes an unusually low record for ] cost and high record for production, 1 he should receive a bonus accordingly. j And the greater the effort the greater should be the bonus. Every unusual ; effort should be rewarded by unusual pay. That is the principle at Beth lehem, and it is the policy Mr. Bent | and his associates are going to follow, at Steelton." Tlie New Hotel Mr. Wallower was the first speaker | :nd was introduced by Spencer C. Gil- 1 bert, the toastinaster, as "a man who! has made good, a civic leader and a J man with a. vision." Mr. "Wallower's ! part in the movement for a new | Y. W. C. A., a filter plant, intercepting j sewer, the Paxton creek sewer, better j parks and paved streets was re- i ferred to. After paying a glowing tribute to Mr. Schwab, Mr. Wallower told what | the new hotel is going to mean to j Harrisburg and pointed out the crying need for a building of the kind planned. I "Harrisburg is a city of one conven tion every day," said he; "a railroad center of more than ordinary magni tude, the capital of a great Common wealth; the center of a garden spot of the land; on the great arteries of the William Penn and Lincoln highways along which streams of automobile traffic will flow; a city near Hershey, Gettysburg, the Masonic home at Ellz abethtown—-a most desirable stopping place for the flood of travel that will come if wo only have a modern hotel for entertainment of the people. And 1 in a modern, 12-story, 300-room hotel we shall have this." llarrisburß's Gift to Steelton In introducing Mr. Grace the toast master traced the growth of the steel industry from the time when the first charcoal furnaces were built until to day, the time of the 500-ton blast fur naces. He described the early efforts to have the Pennsylvania Steel Com pany located at Steelton and exhibited the original list of subscribers to the $50,000 worth of stock and the tele gram that was sent to Philadelphia when the Kelker farm at Steelton was purchased, 83 acres of it at S3OO an acre. "This site for those mills and a big block of the original stock," declared Mr. Gilbert, "is Harrlsburg's gift to Steelton. It may have been forgotten by some but there is a string to it— Whenever they stop making iron and steel at Steelton the land reverts back to the subscribers." Better of the Bargain President Graco prefaced his re marks with the assertion to several high officials of the Pennsylvania and Reading railroads, former owners of Pennsylvania Steel Company, that the Bethlehem interests feel that they have all the better of the recent bar gain. "There are Just three things, de clared Mr. Grace, "that we want from Harrisburg and Steelton to help us make the properties at Steelton grow. Highlights in the Talk of the Ironmasters MR. SCHWAB: "A word about Grace. He has had tfie most remarkable career of any young man I have ever known. 1 look upon him as the very head of the steel business in the* United States to day. 1 predict that with his interest and under his care the developments at Steelton will be not onh' satisfactory to us but to you. "Gentlemen, you certainly look good to mc." " 1 he real way to make a success is to take into your confidence the people with whom you have to work. "1 he world's filled with men who could do as well as our captains of industry if the chance were given them to do so. "Every man should be paid for his individual effort. "I-or every unusual effort there should be unusual pay. "We would have considered the Pennsylvania Steel a remarkable acquisition if we had <*ot nothing else but Quincy Bent. & "Within next year we will spend $15,000,900 for construction at Steelton. "My chief interest is in successful development. "\\ e are going onward and upward. I look for greatest development in the East " MR. GRACE: ' W c have no desire in the future conduct of affairs to run Steelton or Harrisbur< r . We ask only co-operation and fair treatment. "We don t want a company store. That business belongs to the businessmen of Harris burg and Steelton. "We are not interested in real estate. "It's up to the people to build the town." They arc co-operation of tlie commun ity, low taxes and low freight rates." How Million Will Be Spoilt Speaking of the contemplated im provements at Steeltoti, President Grace again outlined the plans for spending about $15,000,000 in various improvements there. "We look upon Steelton as one of the Bethlehem interests. We will go I about our various improvement plans in a broad-minded way. If a certain improvement should come to Steelton it will come here; should it belong at i Bethlehem, it will go there. You must ! remember that we had started a big 1 lot of improvements at Bethlehem | when the new properties were acquir | ed and that many of these have been I transferred to Steelton and Mary , land." Death Knell of Company Store Mr. Grace sounded the death knell ! of one of Steelton's oldest institutions, | "the company store," when he declared ! that Bethlehem officials could have no interests in the respective localities other than steel-making. "We are not interested in any other business than making steel. We don't want to run the city of Harrisburg or the town of Steelton. We want you to run your own towns and to treat us fairly. We will co-operate with you in whatever way we can. "We don't want a company store. We are not in the merchandising business. That business belongs to the merchants of Harrisburg and Steelton. We don't want any real estate opera tions. "That is our message to you." "Mr. Schwab has told ua to make all the money we can and to put It back into the plant, but we want the town to make its own provision to care for the additional employes that our development will bring there. "Here In the East with the sea at our feet we have the ore supplies of the whole world to draw from. The United States should become the lead ing manufacturing nation of the world and will." Mr. Schwab also said a good word for the railroads of the country and told of their pioneer work and their inestimable aid as empire builders. Compliments City In closing, the steel king compli mented the city on its accomplish ments and urged still greater en deavor. "You seem to have civic pride, good fellowship and a desire to grow. We, the newcomers, shall not hesitate to co-operate with you and all we ask for Is what is fair. We want to be one of you, to be here again and say a word. And I want to commend to you Grace and Bent. They are my best friends and chief Interest in life, sterling men. Treat them right and you can do with them, as I do, pretty much as I please." Quincy Bent, head of the Steelton plant, was called upon by the toast master and spoke for a minute. He expressed his delight at returning to the town of his birth and reiterated his statement that he would "go out of hts way to help anyone here who deserved his help." He reiterated his interest in Steelton and declared he would do all he could to make that borough and this city prosper. The closing address was made by EDWARD P. TREFZ Field Secretary of tlie National Chamber of Commerce who made n stirring pica for better schools, more of the human element In business and a better understanding and keener in terest in governmental affairs. Edward F. Trefz, of Chicago, field sec retary of the National Chamber of Commerce. It. was a masterpiece of eloquence and a stirring plea for fairer consideration of big business in the legislative halls of the nation. Urges Better Schools Mr. Trefz pointed out the advantage of organized effort and urged business men to take greater interost in gov ernmental affairs, lie painted a pic ture of the Utopian city that can easily be made to be and urged better schools, more parks and playgrounds In a manner that was particularly In teresting to the guests, in view oi' the city's plan to float a new High School ioan next month. Mr. Trefz made a plea for less laws foolishly aimed to "regulate business" and pointed out that the greatest Law maker of the universe has but ten laws. The last Congress was bitterly ar raigned for its hasty and ill-advised legislation and the speaker made the assertion that out of this Congress not sixty men had "ever looked a payroll in the face," and, therefore, couldn't bo capable of devising proper laws. "The United States is always one step behind the other nations in leg islation," he declared, in making a vig orous plea for a national budget, bet ter banking laws, improved inter-state commerce regulation and a tariff com mission. Plea For Human Element lie also made a strong plea for the human element in industry and pointed to the Schwab system as an example of the success of humane treatment of employes. He urged the balanced life for any community and again pointed out in new lights the value of parks and playgrounds as the recreation place of the masses. Telegrams of regret were received from M. S. Hershey, the Chocolate king, and J. F. Aueh, vice-president and manager of traffic for the Head ing railroad. J. William Bowman, president of the Chamber of Commerce, presided but turned the gavel over to Mr Gil bert early in the evening. An interesting feature of the ban quet was an exhibition of the Harris- Iburg motion pictures with a reel showing Mr. Schwab at his desk in £°uth Bethlehem. The visitors all ex hibited much interest in the pictures and were lavish in their praise of the The dinner arrangements were well made and spoke volumes for the care and work of the dinner committee of the organization.

De Von, the famous Frencn actress, who recently arrived in this country and who Is now in her 65tli year, lias astonished everyone who has seen her by her exquisite complexion and clear, smooth skin which is not marred by a single line or wrinkle. When asked to explain how she had retained her marvelous girlish beauty, she replied that she had always prac ticed one of the oldest ot' French Beauty secrets—a secret which for years was jealously guarded by thw Court Ladies of Napoleon the tlrst. It consists of laying a warm cloth on the l'ace each night before retiring for about half a minute and then when the cloth is removed, a generous amount ot ordinary amonized cocoa should be ap plied over the entire face and neck massage It gently into the skin with the finger tips for about two minutes, then wipe OIL the surplus with a soft, dry cloth. Mile. De Von says that any American woman who has wrinkles, endarged pores, or flabbv. loose skin can easily and quickly overcome these destroyers of Beauty by the use of this simple yet delightful and natural Beautifler, which Is inexpensive and can be found at almost any good Drug gist. The above coming as It does from such a connoisseur of Beauty should appeal strongly to every Lady who ap - preciates what a fair face means to the gentle sex.—Advertisement. IF FOOD DISAGREES DRINK HOT WATER When food lies like lead in the stom ach and you have that uncomfortable, distended feeling, it is because of Insui ticlent blood supply to the stomach, combined with acid and food fermenta tion. In such cases' try the plan now followed in many hospitnls and advised by many eminent physicians of taking a teaspoonful of pure bisurated mag nesia in half a glass of water, as hot as you can comfortably drink it. The hot water draws the hiood to the stoinacn and the bisurated magnesia, as any physician can tell you, instantly neu tralizes the acid and stops the food fer mentation. Try tills simple plan and you will be astonished at the immedi ate feeling of relief and comfort thai always follows the restoration of the normal process of digestion. People who find it inconvenient at times to se cure hot water and travelers who are frequently obliged to take hasty meals poorly prepared, should always takn two or three tlve-grain tablets of Bisurated Magnesia after meals to pre vent fermentation and neutralize the acid in their stomach. Bisurated Magnesia can be obtained from G. A. Gorgas and other local drug gists.—Advertisement.
