...these gentlemen and many another were stigmatized by the Fascist newspaper, Impero, last week: "Nothing is bad enough for them but the ignoble death of the stiletto. We hope that the blessed hands of a few holy mad men will exterminate these traitors with cold steel...
Electric welding is not new to machine shops, especially locomotive works, but for structural steel work a new type of welder had to be evolved. The "Stable-Arc" welders used by the Morgan Co. were built by the Lincoln Electric Co. of Cleveland and mounted on hand trucks. The process: a high frequency arc up to 300 volts is applied to a bar of steel corresponding to a bar of tinsmith's solder, which is pressed along the crevice between two surfaces that are to be joined. The bar is melted, as are both the girder surfaces along the line...
...ninth successive time U. S. Steel, through its Board of Directors, declared last week an extra dividend of 50c a share on the $508,302,500 common stock outstanding.

...Bethlehem Steel Corporation also made its 1925 report during the week. It showed net dividends twice as large as the year previous, $5.30 a common share as against $2.56.

Operations are currently at 83% of capacity; they averaged 70.3% for the last 27 year...
...general outlook in the steel industry for at least the first half of 1926 is favorable. There is a large demand for steel products of all kinds, sufficient to support the present high rate of operations; there has been no apparent accumulation of stocks by consumers; there has been a general improvement in prices during the last three months, and if the current demand continues there is every reason to expect still further improvement. This, together with the increased production from Bethlehem's new finishing units, should result in better earnings...
