The change in coke production amounts
to shutdown Of torty-fye per cent. of the
ovens controlled by the syndicate. The
output OF fifty-6ve per cent. on standard
coke at forty-eight hours run will be con-
siderably less than under the former plan
when the ovens were charged heavier and
seyenty-two hour coke was being made. In
a word the works are being operated at a
greater expense while the output is more re-
stricted, and at the same time the burden
does not fall so heavily upon the drawers,
who get the same price for pulling the
smaller oven rs they did when seventy-two
hour coke was the order of the day. The
change will be appreciated all around.-Mt.

duction. Most Of the men now working
there went to work during the big strike,
and they .are now getting their deserts.
They viii find that this reduction, which
they Il take, is only leader to others yet to
follow.
The Hartman Steel Co. are resorting to
low measures to defeat the men in their
strike. But it won't work. The firm is
having arrested as many of the strikers as
possible on the merest pretext-in fact for
nothing. The object is to have the poor
fellows put under bail, and in default keep
them in jail in order to give the firm clear
course in getting men to so to work. Bail
will be found for the men, however, who
will once more be able to breathe the free
air. The men are firm to man, and If
workingmen will only stay away the men
