The rest of the men received first aid treatment at the scene of the accident, and were able to go to their homes. The accident happened, at 7.50. The shift of 150 men employed in the easting room began work at 6 o'clock. The "bell" which blew off, is the receptacle into which the ore, coke and stone is fed for the manu facture of pig iron. From the he!l it is dumped into the furnace, and! then run into the moulds which form I the floor of the costing room. This] bell was blown off when the pres- j sure of the gases pumped beneath it' from the huge stoves nearly became! too great to be taken care of by their outlet, known as the "feeder," situ ated at the top of the furnace. The pig iron is not used at the (Central Iron and Steel Company for the products they manufacture, and therefore none of their other con trOTts will be held up. The pig iron is shipped mostly to the Luken Steel Company and another large steel company here, in Harrisburg. Official Statement The official statement given out at the Central Iron and Steel Company following the accident this morning follows: "Due to irregular working condi tions, high internal pressures de veloped and lifted the top off No. 2 blast furnace. It was at first thought an explosion had occurred but such was not the case. Necessary replace ments and repairs will be made onco and expect to resume operatiot within thirty days. Several men were injured but none seriously." • ALLIED ARMIES POOL RESERVES FOR BIG DRIVE Versailles Council Is Said to Hold Key to the Riddle Wn.sliington, March 20.—The key to the 1918 riddle of the western battle front is in the hands of the supreme war council at Versailles.

That weapon is believed to be a pooling of the reserves of all allied armies, permitting overwhelming concen tration at selected points of attack.
