from tour through the Pennsylvania iron districts

not made before since 1873 The high price

orders which It will take them six months to fill.

thc iron men TO make a great deal of money
think they will more than make good the losses

In answer 10 a question TO the effect OF the rise
in iron on wages he said; Most Of the iron
masters have voluntarily advanced the wages
Of their workmem as prices have gone up.
There appears to be good understanding
between employers and workmcn throughout the
iron districts. The coal miners, however. are dis
satisfied, and in some localities have struck for an
advance"
