Philadelphia Financial Editor Says the Big Plants Have Small Beginnings.

rSPECIAL TO THE TIMES) nil LAD tiki HI A. .tfvpt. 5. Richard SriUane. financial editor of the Fhilailelpliia Public Ledger has the following to siy In a financial editorial concerning the move of several Gary steel worker? to acquire a steel works of their own: "From Chicago comes tho news that the old Aetna guncottor plant site, two mi'es east of Gary. Ind . has heen purchased by the Aetna Iron and Sfeel I'ompany, an ind pendent concern recently organized hy Gary men. many of whom are skilled steel workers and officials employed In the Gary mills of the Tnited States Steel Corporation. The price raid is announo d 'to have heen $400,000"The Aetna Kxplosives Company. Inc.. which owned the plant at Aetna. Ind.. went into receivership April 9, 1317. The Indiana plant, together with various

small plants the company owned Carnegie, Oakdale, N'oblestown,

porium and Mount Union, Pa., were advertised early this year for sale. "It is rather unusual these days for workmen to embark in such an enterprise us this Indiana Kroup attempts. Apparently there is considerable capital hark of them, for it is reported 500 men will be employed and the company will be eapitalied at $2,000,000. "Some biK plants in America have had small beginnings. Take the Laliello Iron Works, for example. It was started way back in 1j2 by six nail makers who were 'dissatisfied wilh working for vagus and determined to build up an Industrial establishment of their own. Today the LaBelle is a $20,000,000 corpora

tion. Ic has mills at Steubenvllie. O.. and Wheeling. W. Va.. together with considerable coal territory. It owns iron ore beds in Minnesota and coke plants in Pennsylvania and has been a pretty prosperous concern. "Queer things happen to corporations as to individuals. The LaBelle company bought some land in Brooke county. W. Va., years ago. This is a little south of its SteubenviUe plant. In 191 It acquired an additional 423 acres adjoining this tract. In making tests for natural fcas the company struck oil. It sank wells and twenty-two of these are producers today."
