J. & L. GO. BIG FACTOR IN INDUSTRY

Pittsliurgers Refuse to Enter Merger of Independent Mills BT H. R. CROSS. Tha Jone.' and Iauhlin Steel Company is not roming to Hammond because It likes the weather peculiar to this locality or because there are some pood fish restaurants on the lake front. It is coming here because if is forced to have blast furnaces and a steel mill In the Chicago district to compete with the T'nited State Steel Corporation at Gary and the 'combine" of independent steel companies in Kat Chicago. If the Bethlehem, Midrale, Youngetown, Inland and Briar H'li teel companies merge per schedule, the 'Tittsbuph plus'" or "Pitt.burgh basin point' mton will be discarded for all time. The $7.10 per ton freipht rate oi) steel from Pittsburch to tb-e Chicago market would practically eliminate ths Jones and Taiiehlln Company from competition with the "combine" and the "corpora ion" in this di5trict. In the natural mors; of events tho Jons and lAuehlin company, having refused to enter into th merpcr of the indepen tlent companies and being ptrortr enouph to fcrht them, has taken opt'on on approximately 1.000 acres of land in the north fide of Hammp-.l for the purpose nf building blast furnaces and a fteel mill. Currency covering: the purcbas' price has been put up with the FTe-toh-rr Trust Savins. bank of Indianapolis. Certain facilities such a pcrI mission to ohanp the canal must be obtained from congress. Only refusal of congress to grant this privilege or a collapse of the raerper of the other independent ateel companies could ehanpo the plana of tho Jones and J-aushVTn Company, it appears . nef.d ricNVT nnnrEven though the Bethlehem, Midvnle, Tot;npStown, Ir.lan-J and Briar Hi'il plants do not unite. Jones ar.d I.aushlin need the Hammond plant. They s-tole a march on their co-noe: itors by pettinp the btst side in h--entire Cliirapo distrtct for a bic steel mill. The sl'c without a plant ia of no advantage to them. That the Jones and Iv.ophlin Company was s'ror.p enouph to stay out of the combine of Independent steel plants is evidence of its ability to fury out plans for a b'p mil! In Hammond. Rated by Fradstreet and Putin r "A-1 and worth f l.'O.oon.OOn ' Jon-n and Iauphlin lire fortified by thro.penerat ion's of conservative marai' me nt and immense family fortunes ti hold their own with either the Vnitr i States gtocl Corporation or Char1-? gchwab's combine of the Independent. AVV OTtF. MINE". i .Tones and T.auphlin have the b:.! steel mills in the Pittsburgh district :, : Alirjuippa. Woo.llawn, and Sobo. r.i . They produce thir ore ami coal fom their mines. haul it in their feet I boats on the tireat I. .ikes and over j 'heir railroad. They can bold their own with any competitor in the east but to keep in. the Chicago mar ket they must have a plant in this o cality. now that the custom of estimafI trip ail freipht rates on steel from j FPtl.urgh is be in? ignored by other ! italependents . Pet's suppo.se a rase. A salesman f r the combined indejpt r.deuts is aft-r an order for 1.000 tons of sheets in Minnesota. lie quote a price pits freight from Indiana Harbor. Tb j salesman for the Jones and iJFiphon company names a price plus frcij-nr from Pittsburgh . In .'r,lr to set th order the put sbui p li plant must t-P. -a cut of ST. to a ton. tb.3 difference in freight rates. If th consolidation of the other independents poes tbrmrc'i the Jons fI.a i: ph ! : n Com aany w ill b fore.-.i ' , baiai a plant in this district. If iocons - iidatiori falls tliro -e-h the Jo-a-,-, and Lauphltn C. mpanv has esc Ue" reason for builditip a pl.ar.t in this district. FAMILY 1N1TI1ITION. There is no ehanc" of Jones and L.vu hi in etitc-ringr the cennbire, it is d -'hired l.'.v steel men. The prandsons of i tie founders of the mills desire a ao e all ' dse to perpetuate the came of tho I triii. Throuph three penerattotis tl." m,lh-; have been operated by the famI i'y . !onp sound ami conservative lines. ! T'lere lias uovar been any underwr.:- : ins or stock expansion. It is an ai' -' tisTit, solid concern with a tremendous surplus. j The Jones and Lauphiin families ate I social leaders in I ", tt .-burph. and th-iv jtri-.ate fortunes are iiinone the a.r. i ' :-t in the country. They can well alitor,! to keep the. name ".lores a'.d I Umphlir." oi f r the pates of their mills 'ami ftpht combines no matter b'.-w larpe. j Al' of which means that Pake couny- is the i -h'-rlvn ro lor in ffeetr-.--.t ana in 'he history of the steel busin,.s. It is more than the "new Pitt."- ' hurirh." It is desimed to be th heart jot the steed world. TOO FFIt TO IIKK OFT. ! Furthermore it appears that the Jones 'ami Lauphiin -.ople have gone too far j with the J In rn moral deal to back out. To al! intents and purposes the- land : has been bought and paid for.
