PLAYERS IN THE GREAT GAME ti el It looked like a pretty ordinary job 81 ■Which Eugene Grace, at the age of 28, landed on the strength of his college education. Still he was proud of P it. The son of a retired sea captain, he had been able to go through Pennington ° Seminary and then take a course in electrical engineering at Lehigh University. He had taken a course in baseball and " he graduated with honors as captain of the team an.l valedictorian of his class. " The fate of such college heroes is likely * to be sad in the workaday world outside, o and the athletic Grace knew it. He was 'i pleased, therefore, when he got a real job t running an electric crane in the big ■' Bethlehem steel works, at Bethlehem, " Pa. He felt grateful, and he had always I been ambitious. The combination, plus 1 a vast quantity of energy, made him a c very reliable and expert craneman. His 8 skill made him noticeable, and Archibald * Johnson, the general superintendent, 3 couldn't help thinking that if young < Grace were given a grown man's job. he ' would probably measure up to it. ' 1 The Bethlehem plant, in 1902, bore a f Vrarked family reawpblance to original ' chaos. So did other steel plants in the ' United States. The industry outgrew ' itself, and the debris of it* successive 1 stage littered the scenery. The Bethlehem people", in common with other steel I plants. b"gan to consider reorgamsa— i * [

on a basie-tff^Order^economy and , ,-fliciencv/fneasured by something be- , sidesxiutput. ( "The best bet we have," averred Mr. . Johnston, when a man came to do the i plant "liouse-cleaning," waa considered, "is a young fellow named Grace, in the ■ open hearth. Hell have order if he breaks a leg; and hell get action if he has' to break his neck. I would make . him superintendent of the- yards." Grace therefore became superintendent of the yards, and confronted one of the most appalling tasks in. the history of the steel industry. For years, the finished product had been pouring out of the works, leaving' its wastes behind .it. Around (he open hearths, choking all normal activities, were great heaps of | steel scrap— material worth $15 a ton ! serving the sole purpose of interfer- 1 ing with production. In every corner, ! every open space, rose mounds of scrap, hundred different varieties, lying j where IJiey had been dumped in "bygone j From billets to armor plate, ev- , cry process had been spewing ita wastes, I it* surplus, its myriad castofla, anywhere and everywhere. And all of them j stayed just where they dropped. Anywhere and everywhere, too, were the myriad stocks and supplies. They were , stored where it seemed easiest to plant { The most daunting of Grace's trou- , bles, perhaps, was th> trivial job 'of -shifting the private car belonging to '

Charles M. Schwab, to that part of the r. work, in which be was for the moment ] absorbed. A fellow can relish ehuntimg the Big Boss around the works when everything is in apple pie order. It isn't so pleasant, however, when the establishment looks like a cross between a , glacier's moraine and an avfclaoche, and 1 have inherited the responsibility, if not the blame. For that private car of Mr. Schwab's seemed to have, an almost uncanny habit of turning up where conditions were the worst. The struggle "to organise that yard lasted three full years. In that time, d had cleared away all the scrap by transferring' it to defined stations, each a located where it would be most acceptable. His plan, waa to utilise every g ounce of the treasure of waste mater- y ial and the plan, in operation, reduced ^ the scrap heaps by transforming them h into marketable ateel and hard cash. - All the great stores of supplies, too, 0 were classified and concentrated; and all the information applying to them, from their whereabouts to their exact g nature and qualities, was reduoed to card records, available in a minute. The f system of day labor gave way to the g handling of all material on a contract basis. Work gangs were consolidated j. so that their services could be applied to j any task as required; and the cost of , labor in the plapt waa cut down aev- t enty-five per cent. Then Grace lost his job. Abruptly Mr. Schwab told him: f "Ohr iron mines in Cuba are just about upside down. Go straighten them." | | Grace, went. He found that the great , group of mines of the Jurugua Iron Company, supplying* the Bethlehem , plant with a large proportion of its ore. j needed complete reorganisation. When r they were first worked, some twenty , years ago, taking out their rich ore was ( like finding money. The hills of ore, one 1 hundred and fifty feet high, almost ' begged man to come help himself. Man j did. Day after day. charges of high exg plosives were gouged onto those hills and touched off— it was a perpetual B Fourth of July. What was easy to load was loaded, the rest was left behind. Twenty years of this had reduced 0 those Golebndas to titantically. pitted ruins, and they seemed to be on the verge of exhaustion. Grace recognised at a glance that his^first task was the • correction of this reckless mining. Therefore he inaugurated a wholly new = method of attacking the ore hills on

successive 30-foot levels, using steam .)■ shovels to clean off" one level after an- M other and taking the ore as it came. It U cost half a million dollars to make the change, though Grace did the job m four months with 1,200 men, and production increased from 25,000 tons to 40.000 Y i tons a month. "That was good work, too," remarked g1 i Mr. Schwab on his return. "I guess you i <nn have your old job back." Tn Feb- N rffary, 1906. however, Grace was told lie N would have to resign again. This time " ' he became Genera' Superintendent, with. B . the special duty of building the jew '■ , | saucon plant, a rolling mill added to 'ho S ■ I Bethlehem works at a cost of $15,000,000 C anil consisting of ten open hearth' fur- ® | n-.ees, a rail mill, a standard structural [ j mill, and a mill for rolling special sec1 1 tions. . j These Special sections were a new dc- " > parture for the works. They are atmet j torai steel shapes which, instead of being j assembled from standard shapes, are 3 rolled at a single operation. The prob- . ' 1cm had never before been attempted ; ^ J Steel men generally thought it spelled j . ' failure for anyone who tackled it. for it ^ 3 j involved the solving of many new and j . I d fficult mechanical problems. Grace was e not the inventor of the special --section; e hut he made* the invention work. j t Grace had become used to the success- 1 j i ive losses of bis jobs. He took to the j _ ' vice-presidency, of the Bethlehem com- ^ f pany, a year ago, with the ease of t ( practised tumbler who always lights on i his feet. But it was a surprise to him i when, in April last, he was made presi- : | dent of the immense enterprise whose j employ he had entered a little more < | than a dozen years earlier, as a crane- j I He ia onlv thirty-six years old, and . , will probably keep on losing jobs and j finding better ones ' for a good many years to come.
