WHAT WILL THE BOILERS
DO?
\ Meeting to Consider the Ques-
tiOn-A Report that n Renew
aI of the - Per Ton Contract
Willbe Demanded.

Pittsburgh Gazette.
As we have previously stated, the
contract between the boilers and theiI
employers i'm this city, fixing - per ton
aS the wages for boiling iron, expires ON
the last day Ot the present month, and
the question aS 10 a contract for the
next year is agitatmg the minds of both
iron workers and manufacturers. In
view of the near approach OF the time AT
which the present contract will expire,
meeting of the Association OF the
Amal.amatci Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers was held last Sat
urluv afternoon % consider
the matter of the next years contract.
The meeting was held at Emerald Hall,
ON sixth avenue, and was strictly a Sc.
rrct one, reporters being denied admiS-
sion. The session commenced al three
O'Clock, and was continued until SIN.
From various sources the information
was cleaned that, after protractcd dis
rusSiOu of the situation, IL was decided
to demand a renewal Ot the contract, on
tine last of May, at - per ton. On that
iIv the several mill committees Will
wait ON the manufacturers and ask
them 10 sign the contract, and IN the
event oi their refusal work will be dis
continued, and a conference held pro-
yiliuy the manufacturers desire con-
ference.
A REPRESENTATIVE IRON MANS OPINION.
Mr.. b. +. Jones, Of Jones 4 Laugh
iiuS, stated To- a reporter, in response TO
question as % whether the manutac-
urrrS would pay - per ton, that he
could hardly believe that the boilers
should insist upon continuation OF the
oh contract. III they do, said ne,
..Jucrr will certainly be a lockout lie
SJI II trouble would occur on or about
the lSt of June, IL would he brought
about hv the Association Ot the Anal
lstmated Iron and steel Workers, which
body embraced only about One-lOurth
Yf the men employed I'm .he iron mills
of this locality. The manufacturers
could not make q dollar at the present
wages. and those engaged in the manu-
ilrturc of merchant bar and nails We're
LOSING money. The only iron firms that
were making ANYTHING were those that
made ~pcriulties. aud they had So small
. margin that their profits would not
reach g per cent on their Investments.
The boilers here were receiving higher
WAGES than were paid elsewhere, and 1t
was impossible for the manufacturers
here. under such circumstances, 10 COM
pete successfully with their rivals in the
East. The mill owners of Wheeling,
luI tine Mahoning and Shcuango Val
IrvS. and indeed throughout the entire
West. are unanimous i'm the conviction
that they cannot continue To pay the
present prices and compete with Eastern
manufacturers. Mr.. Jones hoped the
boilers would not compel the mills 10
shut down, as they would certainly do
it they persisted i'm a demand for the
present WAGES, as such a course would
involve great distress among the work
mgmcu. and cause heavy losses TO those
who gave them employment.

The hate which The Republican bears

increasing with the daily issue oil that

might have been excusable I; but since
the abolishment of that ancient relic,
there Is no conceivable reason for II
other than that found in the badness OF

In this way. Since it must hnd vent,
1t is perhaps, the cheaper way to let the
