Added to bronz- bearing metal it improves its elas- ticity and comprehensive strength In cast iron, it lengthens the life of the meta more than three-fold. But it is in connection with steel that its commercial value has been most for- cibly demonstrated. Many railroad lines have adopted it for cast-steel engine frames and transmission bars, as well as for forged piston rods, ‘tierrs and springs and fire-box sheet.

C. €. R. RK. Commissioners Are Also Clash-- ing Among Themselves. Washington, Nov. 16. — Revolt against the extension of the powers of the interstate commerce commisssion threatens to break out in the conven- tion of the national association of rail- road commissioners which is in ses- | sion here. The commissioners are also equally @ivided on the question and a reflee- tion of the clash that seemingly im- pends was shown in the meeting of the committee on car service and demurrage, which met to formu- late its report for presentation. The meeting is said to have been stormy, ‘many members contending that no re- port endorsing legislation looking te @ federal car serviee law should be passed and that such a law would give. the interstate commerce commission almost despotic powers over com- merce. Another fight ts to be made against the proposition put forward by the commission that it be given power to: take up investigation of railroad mat- ters in states where the matters are purely local. The delegates are from every state having railroad commisssions. The feelings among a large part of this body is that any greater power grant- ed the interstate commerce commis- sion will result in the usurpation of the- powers of the state bodies and render: | hose policies practically useless. it t i E | rN } 4 | 1 . | a | | = F { A } { pd >, ke » |_| a } i ‘ a > in ia | via L2 —— -4— = 7 e
