Southern Indiana Limestone Mills Working Again—On Tank Contracts

By ROGER BUDROW

INDIANA'S FAMOUS LIMESTONE which has been in the doldrums for several years, will get ~ a temporary shot in the arm from the war. Not from quar- = rying limestone but from machining and welding parts for . tank manufacturers. With building restricted by the war, prospects for the limestone companies were far from the lush days when Jim Watson was running the senate and saw to it that postoffices and othér government buildings were built of Indiana limestone. Nor are skyscrapers going up the way they did before

the depression.

For several years many quarries , and mills were idle or worked with only skelton forces. Many workers were without jobs and the relief load was heavy. One large limestone company went through the bankrup tey wringer. So, even before Parl Harbor, the limestone firms tried to get war work. Several suc- ; ceeded and already are working Roger Budrow on sub-ctonracts, machining tank axles and welding hulls. Four more are scheduled to start work of the same kind shortly. The mills themselves, scattered ~ehiefly in the limestone country ‘around Bloomington and Bedford, are built mostly of steel girders and glass windows. The machines that once cut the big blocks of limestone can,”in many instances, be used on tank work but it is necessary to bring in other machinery, too. That has caused several delays. Yesterday General Motors announced it has purchased the adjacent Salem and Walters mills of the Indiana Limestone Co. of Bed“ford. In this case, the mills will be converted into a foundry for G. Ms Delco Remy division at Anderson. In another case a stone mill was gold to an eastern shipbuilding company which took away much of its machinery for work in the ship-

yard. 2 8 2

“OWNERS IN OVERALLS” are the five young business men who started the Hosdreg Co. of Huntington, Ind., two years ago. They are written up in this month’s Factory magazine as an example of a small company that didfi't have to take

merely a sub-contract for war busi- centage of 15.5.

~TWPB APPROVES NEW ORE ROUTE

‘Soo’ Locks.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8 (U. P)— The war production board today announced approval of a program for all-rail and rail-water iron ore transportation routes as alternates for the existing all-water route via the Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., locks. Officials said creation of the new routes—long advocated as a means of carrying ore from the Great Lakes region event the locks should be sabédtaged or bombed— would cost between $20,000,000 and

ODDS AND ENDS: A pool of 34 New York city metal firms is trying to get war work on a negotiated basis rather than bids because, it claims, costs are higher there and its bids wouldn't win. . . . Manufacturers making substitutes usual peace-time products prefer to have them called “alternates.” . . . New York Central railroad has lost 5000 clerks to the armed services. Travel priority plans for railroads have been worked out, but not announced yet. . . . Three Detroit river ferries will be converted into ice-breakers and a big new one will be buit to keep the Great Lakes open fof the ore fleet this winter. McDonnell claims it has a paper plastic stronger and cheaper than aluminum, good for plane wing tips, rudders, elevators, etc.

SALES DECLINE CHICAGO, Aug. 7 (U., P.).—Sears, Roebuck & Co. today announced their July sales totalling $61,597,319, as against $72,869,575 last year or a decrease of $11,272,256,

$30,000,000. As much as 100,000,000 tons of iron ore could be moved annually by the alternate routes. it was said. The WJB includes immediate construction of the ore yards and decks at Bscanaba, Mich., possible dredging of additional channels in the Escanaba harbor, and immediate improvement of railroads operating between Superior, Wis., Escanaba and Ironwood, Mich. WPB officials said the improvements in Escanaba would make it possible for that port to handle 60,000,000 tons of iron ore a year. The office of defense transporta-

tonnage will move next year. Officials said that movement of this ore by rail would be “extremely expensive” and would tie up railroads which should be moving other war goods. They pointed out that many furnaces are located on lake front sites “and are not equipped to receive iron ore by rail. A

WPB estimated that a maximum of 5000 tons of steel would be needed for the project, which will be federally financed. It is expected to be completed by the end of this A year. The program was worked out by| a special committee under Edgar A } B. Stern, chairman of the WPB|A transportation committee. The committee pointed out that the ability of Great Lakes boats to handle the iron ore movements was being A “heavily taxed” and will be burdened even more as Great Lake vessels are transferred for use on a per-{the seaboard or in transoceanic 1 service. 2

TRUCKERS TO OPEN ‘POOLING’ OFFICE

Indianapolis truck operators will meet at 2 p. m. Monday at the Antlers hotel to set up a joint information office as ordered by the office of defense transportation. The information office is to be a non-profit organization which provides information to truck operators enabling them to obtain return loads and, pool traffic in order to obtain the maximum usage of tires and motor equipment. Operators of all types—common carriers, contract carriers and private carriers—are invited to participate. The Indianapolis meeting and others throughout the state are called under the auspices of the Indiana Motor Truck association but the joint information offices, when set up, will not be a part of that organization.

If you can manufacture any of these materials, contact the war production board, 10th floor, Circle Tower building, Indianapolis. Asterisk indicates plans and specifications are on file there.

STOCK MARKET HAS A VERY QUIET DAY

NEW YORK, Aug. 8 (U. P.).— Trading “ dwindled in stocks and

18%

levels in two years and prices fluctuated irregularly in a narrow range. Many leading stocks failed to make an appearance. Only a few issues had a volume of 1000 shares or more for the two hours of trading. Most activity centered in Aviation Corp, which had a sales boost of a block of 1500 shares. Marine Midland had a block of 1000. shares. which put it well up in the active list. Demand for liquor shares continued and National Distillers made a new high for the year while Schenley and Distillers-Seagrams equaled their highs. National eased before the close.
