Baldwin Locomotive Works and Standard Steel 1914 loss
The Baldwin Locomotive Works and its subsidiary Standard Steel Works posted a $24,014,805 drop from 1913 totals, blamed on Interstate Commerce Commission opposition, freight rate delays, and overall business slowdown tied to tariff cuts and the European war.

German National Bank of Pittsburgh Is Closed by Comptroller
The German National Bank of Pittsburgh, organized in 1904 with 500000 capital and deposits above 5 million, was closed by order of the comptroller of the currency. Directors linked to the Pittsburgh Brewing Company faced losses as prohibition and local option pressures affected security values. Comptroller Williams blamed bad management and noted the bank’s capital and surplus were wiped out, offering no deposit guarantees. The closure underscores banking strain amid wider economic shifts.
