It traces the usefulness of iron from early ages through the “iron age,” describes how iron products support construction, transportation, ships, and machinery, and highlights progress in American production. The talk also considers key industry concerns such as community usefulness, technical progress, investment size, pricing reasonableness, production efficiency, worker well-being, and future prospects.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":40,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/the-iron-and-steel-industry-read-online-free/323220/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/the-iron-and-steel-industry-read-online-free/323220.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Lucas Martin","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-23","2026-09-21",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":29},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What does the speaker identify as the core importance of iron and steel?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"Iron ore is described as abundant, economical, and essential for broad use.

ancient legend,handed down through the years,tells us that when the great temple at Jerusalem was com-pleted King Solomon gave a feast to the artificers employed in its construction.Upon unveiling the throne ablacksmith was found to have usurped the seat of honorat the King's right.This seat had not yet been awardedto that craft whose work was considered the most impor-tant contribution of skill and effort in the rearing of thegreat edifice.The people clamoredand the guard rushed into cut the usurper down,but King Solomon,with a ges-ture,commanded that the blacksmith be allowed to speak.He replied,“Thou hast,0 King,invited to this feast alleraftsmen but me;yet how could these builders havereared the temple without the tools I fashioned?”“True,”decreed Solomon,\"the seat is his of right;all honor tothe iron worker.”  \nJust as the iron worker and his products were of great-est use to the community and to associated trades of thatfar-0f day,so now,after carrying forward his workthrough the intervening years,and always in step with theprogress of his time,the iron and steel worker today,withcommodities covering a vast range of product,and of acharacter vital to the civilization of the day,finds himselfat home in this conference of leading trades and industrieswhich is being held under the distinguished auspices ofthis great University and its honored and cultured Presi-dent.  \nIn the short span of this morning's meeting one canrefer,and but briefly,to only a few of the conditions sur-rounding the iron and steel industry,its general develop-ment and its future prospects in this country.These con-siderations have to do with the usefulness of iron andsteel products to the community;the progress of the art;the enormous investment in the industry;the reasonable-ness of selling prices as indicated by the moderate returnon capital employed;the economic improvement in pro-duction practices;the well-being of those employed;andthe future of the industry.  \nUsEFULNES8 oF IRON AND STREL  \nIron ore is the most abundant and cheapest of all heavymetals,and the strongest known substance economically  \n4  \navailable in adequate quantity for extensive use In itsvaried uses iron has become more nearly indispensable tomankind than practically all other substances,save air,water and foods.While for all other important substancesa substitute of some kind is available or could be foundthe earth probably could not furnish a substitute for themillions of tons of iron and steel used to supply presentvast demands.The iron industry may well be character-ized as the basic industry,for from the earliest ages ironwas used by man,probably contemporaneously with copper,which it has far outstripped in variety of and quan-titative uses.The stone age gave way to the bronze age,and the latter yielded to the iron age;and we still are liv-ing in the age of iron and steel  \nThe industry's products are essential to the construc-tion of the homes in which we live and of those great busi-ness edifices in which ","cbCaig0u1z2Xbflu","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaig0u1z2Xbflu","pdf",751645,17,"English","# The Iron and Steel Industry\n## Usefulness of
