Canadian iron revival eyed as Canada offers vast iron bounty
Frank B. Baird testified before the New York State Commerce Commission in Buffalo saying Canada plans a five to six year bounty of two dollars a ton on pig iron and will invest capital in Nova Scotia furnace plants. He warned the Welland canal could threaten Buffalo, noting a blast furnace on the canal would be preferred to any site in America and that Canada cannot sustain such subsidies if continued. He also dismissed the possibility of a practical iron ore cartel, citing vast deposits making coordination impractical.
