Most of you are probably familiar with the fact that Utahs coking coal is not of the best quality. It is just a little the line which separates coal from coking coal. The nature of the coal therefore has presented a constant challenge to us .since good, strong coke is essential for economy and maximum production of pig iron in our blast furnaces. During the past two years or more, we have added from two to tour per cent of coal tar pitch to the charge "of coal in the coke ovens. This practice has , somewhat improved the yield and quality of the coke. In addition, we have raised the temperature in the coke ovens some 200 degrees farenheit above what is considabove non-coki- ng ered standard practice in the industry. This too has had beneficial effect upon the quality of the cpke. And recently we have gone farther in our own experimenting, by blending the coal from 'bur Geneva and Columbia mines with approximately eight per cent bf coal. The low volatile Oklahoma results of this experiment so far indicate that the quality of the coke is being improved still further, and the correspondingly improved results are being obtained in blast furnace fuel economy and rate of pig iron production. For thetime being, therefore, it is - our intention to continue this blending bf Utah. and. Okla-hocoals. EMPLOYMENT AT 6,000 Geneva Steel companys employment figure now stands at more than 6,00 making Geneva the largest employer in. the state of Utah. Genevas annual payroll amounts now to approximately most of which is inUtah did not enjoy which come only a few years ago. In regard to Genevas personnel, it is always gratifying to me to report that a large majority of our employees are native residents of Utah and the intermountain area. NEW PLATE AND STRIP MILL While Geneva continues to produce steel at a high rate, a major construction program for the conversion of the plate mill into a combination plate and high speed strip mill is going forward at a good rate of speed. When this con $20,000,000, -- is completed, program probably around the end of the year, Geneva wil be equipped to roll light gauge steel sheets in the form of hot rolled coils in addition to the plates and structural shapes which are presently being rolled in the plate and structural mills. This new product will then be shipped to Columbia Steel companys new cold' reduction mill in Pittsburgh, Calif., for further processing into cold rolled sheets and tin plate, to supply a substantial portion of the very heavy demands for these products in the western states. PRODUCTION NEAR CAPACITY Currently the production of finished steel products, - including plates and structural shapes is going along at a fairly good rate. As an 'example, last month Geneva shipped over 75,000 net tons of finished steel made up of approximately 55,000 net tons of plates and 20,000 net tons of structural shapes and billets. Our production of steel ingots and pig iron has approached rated capacity during the months which have been free from the disturbances caused by the recent periodic coal mining stoppages. With ingot production ranging from 102,000 to 108,000 net tons monthly. Unfortunately, during the past five weeks, it was necesary for us to keep one of our blast furnaces out of production because of a break-o- ut below the tapping hole of the furnace and the consequent need for major repairs. This had an - immediate- - effect upon our steel production rate, since we are operating on a relatively high ratio of pig iron to scrap steel, the EC RATES HIGH in AWARDS 4-- 11 version latter originating almost entirely in our own rolling mills. As a consequence, we have not carried a great deal of scrap in stock; and to obtain scrap by purchase in todays critically short market is of course most difficult and expensive. However, we hope soon to get back to Bur normal pace in the production of both pig iron and steel ingots. -- re-en- hst L: Graham4 Hold Meeting The Stylish Stitchers club met at the home of Beth Leavitt on September 7 under the direction of their leaders, Naomi Anderson and Vera Warren.

This made the boys work all the harder and with the return of six letter-me- n from the squad of 1947 it made the outlook for the local boys quite good.
