Cate, of Baltimore, who is a large stockholder in the American L-oco niotlve Company, in a letter to the Hot k holders askini? for their proxies for the annual meeting; on October 21 attacks the present management and the direc? tors. Criticism is also directed at the company by Mr. Cate for offering no explanation for the sale In 1908 of 9,?*iO0 shares of American I/ornmotive preferred BtoOk for &99,332. The charge Is also mado that the company In 1SH/7 and 1908 ! dealt In Its own common stock. In an endeavor to show that the Amer? ican Locomotive Company has been mis? managed Mr. Cate makes a comparison With the Baldwin Locomotive storks and I mentions the names of several oftl,rlsJS | and employes, asserting that they are officers or directors of corporations that sell materials to the locomotive company. j He saya be was Informed that the Amer j ban locomotive Company paid 33 per cent more for scrap Iron and 14 per cent I mur.? f,,r pig Iron than is paid by the I General Hectrle Company. ! "I am also told," adds Mr. Cate, "that | the company was .laying the Railwa> i tteel Spring Company 6 cent? per pound ? for springs, while they could have bOSO I mad?! for t% cents. I am tuld that the I price paid for springs by the company in t 1912 was 4's cents per pound, while they could have been purchased for 3V- cents, arid if the company imitated the Baldwin Works by making Its own springs, they iie?-d not have cost more than 3?? cents." in relation to the companj'a recent withdrawal from the manufacture ?if au? tomobiles, he declared that those made In recent y.-nrs wer?? Inferior in quality and workmanship to those of former peers b- cause Of poor management and workmanship. Stating that the closing of this department cost the company 12. ?IiO.?kj?i, Mr. Cate concludes: "Here Is a typical exempllilcation of wasteful and disgraceful sacrifice by your directors. Identifying them as unflt f??r the manage? ment of >our property." 1-elgh Best, vice-president of the Amer? ican LooomOttVS t.'ompany, said last even? ing that he had read Mr. Cates letter and that the president.

[By Teierraph to The Tribune. 1 Pittsburgh. Oct. 2?An ord??r for 420 Hteel passenger cars, valued at 16,300,000, wan placed to-day by the New York Cen? tral Railroad Company as a result of the determination of government officials to compel railroads to une steel tars. The Pressed Btosl <*ar Company and the Standard steel far Company, local firms, pot ? rdSTB for HO and ll'J of the new can, respectively. It may be that the Pittsburgh planta will have to be enlarged, as the New Haven .?ystem is preparing to upend f?iO.OOo.iXiO for new equipment and Is nego? tiating here. Many other l?isteni roads will probably be compelled to buy steel cars. Local manufacturers are preparing for a deluge of orders, as more steel cars of the types desired are manufactured In I'ittsbursh than In any other citv in th? country. STOCKS IN OTHER CITIES.
