BRITISH STEEL
SUPERIORITY WINS BIG CONTRACT (United Service.) London, September 6. The superior quality of British steel has won the Tyneside the biggest contract for several years. Messrs. Dorman, Long and Company state that they have received the South African Government’s order for 47,000 tons of rails. It is recalled that South Africa’s 1 last railway order was placed in Germany on account of cheapness, but proved uneconomical compared with the harder wearing, though costlier, British materials. The same reason is apparently filling the British shipyards. Ten out. of Harland and Wolff’s fourteen Belfast slips are filled with over a quarter of a million tons of new shipping. The majority of these ships are for foreign owners.
