Normal conditions are being rapidly effected ln Iron and steel Industries, which suffered during the floods last 'week. Within a week practically all o the plants In the flood zone will be ' operat,nff The feature of the week has been the rapid restoration or ' . -1 r,.itl.,no rioflr.lt thp fart tha many, steel workB, foundries and ma chine-shops ln western Pennsylvania and-Ohio - Were loaded. . - 1 Euvlne this wfCK nas Deen rain-r iligfit, but delivery of spclflcatlons con "n"8 heavy, in addition to damaging .the stel plants, the floods are expected to create quite a demand for steel prod ucts. There naturally will be consld erable new building, and the demand for all lines of prompt material will be accelerated. There will be considerable bridge building. Temporary structures will also require a heavy volume of ma terlal. Many of the spans will be re ! placed with heavier work. Several rail I roads which lost single-track bridge will replace them with double-track structures. There will also be a very noticeabl lncerase in specifications for buildings. Dayton, for instance, will require con stderable structural material for new skyscrapers which will rise from the ruins of the flood-swept city. The unprecedented flood which swept over Indiana, Ohio and western Pennsylvania last week summarily pu out of commission Iron and steel work and blast furnaces alonng the Cuya hoga. Shenango, Allegheny and Ohio rivers.fl It Is estimated that the greatest damage was done In the valley district, particularly ln Youngstown Sharon and New Castle. Nearly all blast furnaces In the flood zone were forced to bank. Two furnaces ln the valley district and two ln Cleveland had to be shoveled out as a result of the high waters. All -of the steel works, blast furnaces, foundries and machine shops along the Allegheny River in Pittsburgh were put out of commission, and Industries on smaller streams ln western Pennsylvania were flooded.

A STATEMENT FROM M. N. CASTLEMAN Editor, Tims-: I beg; leave to anawer the statement In the Gary Evening: Post where in it states that one. Senator Frank N. Gavlt, is behind me in my candidacy for mayor of the city of Gary. The Post says Frank N. Gavlt Is riving; hlg moral and financial support to my candidacy, which Is an untruth. It does not take a wise man to see throug-h this statement and why it Is published In The Post. Were I in The Post's place I should have adhered to the old max torn "he who lives in g-lass house should throw no stones." The Post knows that the statement that I have as much strength politically as a twice used poultice to be absolutely fale. It Is strange what bed fellows a little city job work makes a man choose. j . As far as the Gary & Interurban . railway is concerned I have no fina,n- . cial interest In the same. I am not in

PRESIDENT LAM MAKES

TENTH FISCAL Persldent R. P. Lamont, of the Ameri can Steel Foundries, has submitted the annual report to the stockholders for the tenth fiscal period of the company for, the calendar year ended December 1, 1912. The gross sales for the year were $14,319,571.58. and the gross earnngs from operations of plants and other Income after deducting manufacturing expenses (which Includes $1,160,536.32 for repairs and maintenance). also selling, administration, head and district office and other expenses. were $1,588,766.14. The net Income of $777,756.17 applicable to surplus shown on the balance sheet is the remainder after deducting all Interest and 322,606.90 for depreciation of fixed proper ties, also $184,173.91 appropriated for the sinking fund. In comparing the earnings for 1912 with the preceding fiscal period, which ehowed a loss of $259,030.92, it should be borne In mind that such period covered a term of 17 months, only the first few of which showed any profit. If the sales for 1912 be compared with the calendar year 1911. the change Is far more pronouncthe employ of Frank N. Gavlt and nev er have been, nor am ln the employ of the Gary & Interurban railway. If the man for whom this strange and wooly story is written (he who controls the political destiny of The Post) cared to tell the truth, and the whole truth, why he is against the senator and the Gary & Interurban railway It might enlighten the public More interesting, however. Is the mayor's favor to the Dean heating franchise and the Indianapolis and Meridian franchise. I am finding no fault with Mr; Knotts' way of conducting a political campaign and I am not surprised at the utterance of the Post. It is he and The Post that Is afraid of their own strength. As for myself, I am not loosing any sleep over who will receive the majority vote ln the mayoralty contest this coming fall. The fire Tom my claims Senator F. N. Gavit has built at his feet must be getting pretty warm when he commences to squirm. All this noise about the serenity of his feelings about his being elected must be bosh. Why this particular paper should bring Mr. Gavlt Into my political affairs is a mystery to me. The only reason I can see is to try and make the public believe I am not a candidate for mayor only as an underling for Senator Gavlt. In Justice to Senator Gavlt 1 will state that not once but many times he has requested and advised me not to run for mayorvof the city of Gary. Mr. Gavit is not my keeper. I have minft and will of my own. I am in the hands of my friends and It Is my friends The Post is afraid of and not myself. Success to ' all enterprises. whether they be corporations or individuals, when they are a benefit to the people.I want to say to the public that I care not what The Post says about me for its truthfulness has long ceased to exist in the minds of many, 1id were It not for its political agreement It i my Judgment It would not be with the present administration. The fact of ths whole mattr Is that Mr. Knotts is trying to make the public believe he Is a great big friend of the peopl. All of this great display at this time will have no effect on the voters. They once had faith; it has. been shaken. The time has passed., the people are wise, no more will pevo or Us cry elect a mayor in the city of Gary. Past performances of city officials are their best recommendations M. N. Uabi'LEMAN. THE BALKAN SLAVS ARE THE l"XCO.DITIONAL- WINNERS. Editor Times: The Balkan Slavs are the "unconditional" winners over the brutal Turk - in Europe. Who dare doubt this fact? What "Christian" (?) European power will make the advance to rob the Balkan Spartans of the Just fruit won by them In their superhuman strife for union and liberty? No Nippon ever fought as valiantly before Port Arthur as did the did the Montenegrin "Yunaks" (heroes) combing Fort Tarabosh!

A. S. F. REPORT

ed as that 12 months' operations showed a loss of $514,801.82. As shown by the . balance sheet $188,249.74 was charged to capital account during the year for new , construction, additions, wachinery equipment, etc., and ln addition a further sum of $135,624.56 was spent for replacements, minor additions, and improvements, and charged to the depreciation reserve. During the year equipment for the production of car couplers has been Installed at East St. Louis, and at the Hammond plant a new building for the production of brake beams has been added. President Lamont says that the pronounced business depression of 1911 continued well Into the following year, but about midsummer a noticeable improvement In the volume of orders became apparent. The Improvement,' however, was not reflected In the company's earnings until two or three months later, hence the year's showing Is largely the result of the operations for the last six months of the year. At the present timthe volume of orders In hand Is, with one exception, the largest In the hlsjtory of the company. there a human being existing ln this wide world, claiming civilization, who does not vote success and victory to the' Balkans? Only- the diplomatic plunderers of Europe are cmcocting plans ghoul-wlse to defraud and and cheat their "Christian" sister nation, because she Is. Slavish. Oh, the cunning wretches, who would rob angels If they were not spiritual. . Permit me to here repeat what I wrote ln this periodical Dec. 26, 1912: "A Slav has his brothers everywhere. The Balkan plenipotentiaries came to London to sign the "declaration of independence"'-from the Turk. If not now there they wil do so later at Constantlnoplee. The Balkan Slavs fighting for their liberty . and Independence from the savage Turk, will accept none of the opium compound labeled "made in Germany" nor that "scabbed in Austria," no matter who the concoctors. Nothing but the unconditional surrender will satisfy Slavs now establishing the "United States of Balkan." That will and must occur before "peace and good will" will abide In that world's n-eck of woods. . Oh, you Austria, what fools direct the destinies of thy decaying monarchy? Whom the gods wish to destroy they first make blind. Wake up! The world's justice is laughing at you. Zivio Balkan! MAX KIRCHMAN. . Gary. . ADVERTISE - AND AGAIN IN THE TIMES. ADVERTISE!
