BUILDS BENZOL PLANT
Factory With Capacity of 1,500 Gal
lons Daily Now Being Erected
Johnstown, Pa., Feb. I.—®y a con
tract closed between Thomas A. Edison
and the Cambria Steel Com; any, the'
tomu-r has obtained the right to build j
a plant to extract benzol from coke gas. j
Construction of the plant, costing \
$250,000, has been started ami when
it is completed it is expected the Cam- !
bria Steel Company will furnish 1,500 j
and I,SOO gallons of benzol daily.
Benzol, a by-product of coke, is used j
in softening rubber. Until the Euro- •
pean war broke out it was obtained at I
only a,few points in the United' States, 1
most of the product being imported !
from Germany. With that source cut!
off, the price of benzol has doubled, i
j prompting the opening of local fields, i
