PnILApELrmG. December l3.-The Press
to-day has the. following: Daniel J. Nor
rell, President OF the Cambria Iron and
Steel Works, at JohnstoBn, was in the city
yesterday Being ssked rs to the reported

papy, Mr.. Morrell said: "There is no truth

"What Is the condition OF your bust.

"Our orders are slack and business is IN.
que ,tionably dull, but We have not fund
It necessary to discharge any men and are
still working our full force. Our men &C.
cepted the reduction OF wsges made on
December without objection"
SLOW much was that reduction?"
at varied from 10 to 10 per cent. After
going over the scale as carefully as posi-
bic, we made the Gu! az Just and equitable

There is story 10 the effect tina. you are
assisting in building line between Lstrebs
and Johnstown as rival to the Penpsyl-
vania."
"Auy such story" Mr.. Morrell ssid
emphatically "is made out OF whole cloth.
There is not particle Of truth in II. We
have bad no disagreement with the Penn.
sylvanis, and no other overtures have been
made to US regarding the construction OF
any new line"
Air. Morrell did not seem TO think it like.
ly that the tariff would be materially affect.
ed by any action OF the present Congress.
The tariff on such classes OF iron wss
already too low, he said, to admit Of a
reasonable profit in manufacture at the
present scale OF wagea; and he did not
believe it likely that there would be any
legislation by the present Congress look.
ing to further reduction OF those duties.
