Braddock, Pa., April 18 - Charles M. SCHWAB, the first President of the United States Steel Corporation, who lived here for twenty years, paid a farewell visit yesterday to the Edgar Thomson Steel Works and blast furnaces here before leaving for New York to reside. Mr. SCHWAB retains pleasant memories of early days when he was a civil engineer at the works, his first step on the steel ladder twenty years ago. Mr. SCHWAB shook hands with all the heads of departments, and scores of old workmen in various sections. With the latter Mr. SCHWAB chatted pleasantly. On his tour Mr. SCHWAB met with "Old Bill" HOWELL, about sixty-three years old, greaser of mold cars in the converting mills. "Bill. I'll see you are cared for hereafter," said the steel magnate. A few minutes later Mr. SCHWAB met Patrick SHEA, sixty-five years old, formerly a roller, but for years a water carrier. To Thomas MORRISON, Andrew CARNEGIE's cousin, and general manager of the plant, Mr. SCHWAB said: "Tom, I want you to look after Pat in his old age." At the general office building Mr. SCHWAB met the janitor, Martin COYNE, asked after his health and his family and handed COYNE $1,000 in notes and gold. COYNE drove stakes for the young civil engineer twenty years ago. The Edgar Thomson plant was Mr. CARNEGIE's first venture, as well as Mr. SCHWAB's, and both have an affection for the big plant and the workmen. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ PA-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
