We Will Help You to Save Safely yirtrtjrr &atoing2 <nix> Crust Company i _i'"v 1 - - ~7 STEEL PLANTS MAY ABANDON COAL MINES Big Concerns Find New Coke Fields in West Virginia Regions. PITTSBURGH. Pa.. May IC.—Some of the coal mines anil coke ovens which have been closed down in the Connellsville region by the strike of the non-union miners may never be reopened, according to intimations in steel circles here. At best if there is a resumption, it was stated, the production in the Connellsville Held will be greatly reduced. The big steel companies declare they •an get abundant and permanent supplies ■f coa Ifrom West Virginia and Kentucky fields which will meet all their requirements. This is said to have resulted in ne steel manufacturers discovering that 1 ho famous "coke region.” which has always been considered inseparable from 'teed production, is not so indispensable • ft or all. The perfection of the by-products ote oven and its general adoption throughout the steel industry during and sinee the war is said to play an important role in this new situation. It is '•laimed that the batteries of byproduct ovens, which are constructed at or near ihe steel mills, are rapidly replacing the "id and wasteful beehive ovens at the uni mines, and that, with a steady and adequate supply of coal assured from a her fields through a simple rearrangement of transportation facilities, absolute dependence need no longer b< placed upon the Concelsville region rniues nnd ovens. It is also pointed out that while the by-product oven Is a permanent Installation and contributes many useful products to the sciences and arts, in addition to furnishing ample supplies of ••oka for the steel works, the beehive ovens at the mines make no such -ontnbutlon and, furthermore, are of only a temorary character, being abandoned as ‘••on as the coal is worked out. MAKE MAV I'I.ASS READY. Having been caught napping at the "Utbreak of the coni strike, it is claimed bat the steel companies are completing plans for other permanent sources of coal supply which will divorce them from absolute dependence upon the coke region and may result in the closing of many mines and ovens in that district. A* an evidence of the growth of the by-product oven, it was pointed out by i local steel man that the largest byproduct battery in the world, that of the Carnegie Steel Company at Clairton. Pa., Is to be doubled in size. This plant now consists of about s<io ovens, with a capacity of over 3.000,603 tons of coke a year, not to mention great quantities of by-products used in the textile, chemical, agricultural and other industries. Work already has been started, it was 'lated, on the construction of SOO more by-product ovens at Clairton, which will give this great plant a capacity of over ‘•.,000,000 tons of coke per year. With •his huge plant in operation near the great Homestead. Duquesne and Brad■iock mills of the Carnegie Steel Company. to which it supplies coke, and with i steady supply of coal assured from dher than the Pennsylvania Gelds, it •vas intimated here today by a leading "el man that the famous Connellsville oke region stands a chance of being otisiderably eclipsed. It was said that the miners in the oke regions are beginning to realize ds possibility and that as a result a •utiment Is developing to go back to • ork. This was reported to be especially rue of the miners who are idle by Teasel of the strike, but not on strike themselves.

PATH CLEARED FOR CHAMBERS AS CHAIRMAN Few Contests in Reorganization of Democratic State Committee. G. 0. P. PLATFORM MEETIN Few contests were apparent today in the naming of district chairmen by the Democratic county chairmen, throughout the State. Local leaders interpreted this as an indication of harmony. When the State conimhtee meets here Friday, there appears to be a clear field for Walter S. Chambers of Newcastle to become State chairman. Chambers Is at present Sixth district chairman. He is also a Democratic nominee for Slate Senator. Samuel M. Ralston. United States senatorial nominee, is understood to favor the election of Chambers to direct the stale campaign. The Fourth district may present the name of Lincoln Dixon, former Congressman, as a candidate for the i chairmanship. Mr. Dixon has been mentioned lor the place frequently. His friends in the Fourth district believe acceptance of the place, if it should be offered to him, would add strength to the Democratic campaign. Following are the names of the present district Democratic chairmen, some of whom are expected to tie re-elected: First district, A. O. Thomas of New Harmony; Second. D. Frank Culbertson of Vinceun,':' : Third, Jonas Howari of Jeffersonville; Fourth. Charles Wagner of Columbus: Fifth, Arthur .1. Hamrick of flaytou: Sixth. Walter S. Chambers of Newcastle; Seventh, Joseph K. ’.tall of Indianapolis; Eighth, Dale Crlttenberger of Anderson; Ninth. Robert Bracken of Frankfort; Tenth, Edward Simon of Hammond; Eleventh, William M. Jones of Fairmount; Twelfth, Stanley Nelson of Auburn; Thirteenth, A. L. Deniston of Rochester. G. O. I\ PLATFORM ADVISERS MEET. The advisory platform committee named by E. M. Wasmuth, former Republican State chairman, and revised by Lawrence Lyons, present State chairman, met today at the Republican headquarters In the Hotel Severln. The committee has no official authority, Frederick Schorteuteier. secretary of the State committee, explained, tut probably will do considerable preliminary work for the official committee, which will draft the platform on the first niglit of the State convention, May lit. Mr. Schortemeier deciined, on the grounds of propriety, to discuss prior to the meetlnf any of the subjects likely to be con>ldered. It is known that one of the problems will be the harmonizing of the platform and ideas of the Republican senatorial candidate. t'ue member of committee, an ardent devotee of Senator Harry S. New, said that tlie platform is going to contain as strong an indorsement of the Harding Adiuini‘ration as possible, and that Beveridge would, of course, run on that platform. This committeeman Indicated the primary result was not to his liking. H- refused to allow his name to he used for publication. The nomination of Beveridge, he said, was no Indorsement of the Harding Administration. but the campaign for election would be, he declared, if the platform is to mean anything. DELICATE QUESTIONS OF POLICY TO SETTLE. The Republicans In State issues have several delicate questions of policy concerning State issues to settle. High taxation, centralized authority in Stab boards, and the general fund deficiency are said to be part of the ammunition which the Democrats will send their way this fall. Two members of the State board of finance, which is the largest factor in State expenditures, cx pected to be unopposed fur renoiuination •ire William G. Oliver. State auditor, and Ora Davies, treasurer of State.
