...themselves lost $325,000,000 in wages; and are now forced to accept $12 a week and less per man. The loss on curtailed coal production was $480,000,000. Of losses to allied industries the leading railroads suffered $125,000,000, shipping $50,000,000 more; and the steel industry was so hard hit that of the 147 furnaces in blast last May only five were in blast this December. Of the adding up of such costs there is no end, but the Wall Street Journal conservatively placed the grand total at "well over a billion dollars...
Though born to a family of musical traditions (his great grandfather made the first pipe-organ west of the Alleghenies) and intent upon studying to qualify as organist of the Pittsburgh Presbyterian Church, Mr. Cadman, as a lad, entered the employ of the Carnegie Steel Co., worked as messenger boy under Charles M. Schwab. Into the office he dragged couplings, hung them on a frame, created a metallophone after a fashion.

Schwab, (Bethlehem Steel): "In Baltimore, I addressed 800 members of the Association of Commerce at a dinner tendered me in recognition of the wealth I have brought the city with my Sparrows Point steel plants, of which the payrolls now total 25 millions per annum. I told them that I had just consented to spend two millions on my dry docks in Baltimore and had no single interest in the city to which I was not ready to devote every dollar I could borrow. I said that in ten years Baltimore would eclipse even Pittsburgh as a steel...
...aircraft were the Navy's big new, Packard-motored all-steel PN-10 seaplanes, built at the Philadelphia Navy Yard especially for long-range scouting. The flight to Panama had been planned to test their efficiency and was to have been conducted under the supervision of the late Commander John Rodgers, hero of the Navy flight last year (TIME, Sept. 14, 1925), in a PN9 from California to Hawaii. After Commander Rodgers' ironic death (TIME, Sept. 6), the leadership had passed to Flight Commander Harold T. Bartlett, son of a Connecticut schoolmaster, seconded by Lieut. Byron J. Connell...
