MISHAP AT SCHWAB'S PLANT
Burst Water Main Shuts Down Bethle
hem Works, Busy With Contracts
South Bethlehem, Pa., Feib. 5.
Bursting of a 36-inch water main yes
terday afternoon caused a shutdown of
the entire Bethlehem Steel plant. It
is the first time the entire plant has
been crippled, and the great contracts
Mr. Schwab is filling for war material
for European nations will be hehl up
until the break is fixed.
What caused the break could not
be learned. Rumors were spread that
the water main had been tamperel
with, possibly by some person in sym
pathy with countries other than those
for which the steel company is mak
ing war material, but nothing could be
learned on the subject.
Through this broken main flowed' the
entire water supply for all the machine
shops, armor plate and projectile plants,
blast and open heart b furnaces, etc.
Fires were immediately banked to pre
vent possible explosions.
Possibly 11,000 men will be idle un
til the break is mended. Three huge
pumps, each capable of drarwing 10,-
000,000 gallons from the Lehigh river,
have been used in forcing water each
day into the works, all through the
broken main.
