Title	Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company Campbell Entrance Bridge Photographs
Subject	Business and Labor Immigration and Ethnic Heritage Steel industry Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company Safety Signs (Notices) Bridges Guards
Place	Youngstown (Ohio) Campbell (Ohio) Mahoning County (Ohio)
Description	Three 8.5" by 11" (21.6 by 27.9 cm) photographs reflect both the safety environment that Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company encouraged and the ethnic diversity of those employed in the Youngstown steel industry. The images depicts the Campbell plant entrance bridge, also called the north bridge. The text of the English sign in the first photograph is "Danger: Automobiles using bridges and roads in this plant must limit their speed to not exceed 5 miles per hour." The third image includes a sign indicating that "The cooperation of all employees in our efforts to prevent accidents is earnestly requested." A guard is visible in first and third photograph. In November 1900, a group of 55 Youngstown citizens, led by James A. Campbell, raised $600,000 in capital to create the Youngstown Iron Sheet and Tube Company. Land was purchased along the Mahoning River approximately three miles east of downtown. In 1902, the mill opened for production. Spectacular growth marked the company's second decade, some of it spurred by the demand for steel caused by World War I. In 1923, YS&T purchased the Brier Hill Steel Company of Youngstown and the Steel and Tube Company of America of East Chicago. During the 1930s the company survived the Great Depression and the 1937 "Little Steel" strike to emerge as a leading steel producer. In the 1960s, YS&T began to experience a decline. The company merged with the Lykes Corporation in 1969 and LTV Corporation in 1979, at which time all Youngstown operations were phased out.
