Mr.. Jarrett also stated that manulactuf-
crs were paying too much Tor ore and TOO
much for muck bar. and that matters were
in many ways In an unsatisfactory shape.
Mr.. James ]. Bennett had little to say On
the subject Of the demands OF the workers.
except an emphatic statement that IN the
present state OF the iron trade, an sdvanos
in the scale was simply out of the ques-
ton. Foreign iron was ready 10 come in
lust ~ soon m the card was put up the
fraction of a cent.
A leading iron man said 1T IL non sense
TO talk OF an advance at the present time.
The only thing that saves us from the
food OF English iron is the remarkably
high ocean fTeigbts that exist st present.
And these iron workers talk about selling
