after harvesting mis- own grain. Tie kills
about 100 head of fine hogs every fall, and
sells large quantities of meat and lard, AS

cents, So 80 per ton wages at 1.9 cents,
81 40 per ton, and 80 on. reaching 50 per ton
for pudding when iron sells at the old minimum
of Dig cents per pound. Thusi will be seen that
the reduction in rate of wages is about lo per
cent upon iron at the old price OF 20 CENTS
namely, from So so to SIS per ton; but the
vital change is in extending the scale down
ward, so that the present actual market price
shall be the new minimum.
Now the Eastern mills have been all the time
paying lower wages than the Pttsburg manu-
facturers now propose. Their rate IS based
upon 81 per ton for pudding, and no statement
has yet been given to the public To show why
the same work should be worth 81 80 per ton
more in Pittsburg than in Philadelphia. More
over, the wages paid either at the East or at the
West are far above those paid in other coun-
tries when the Pittsburg rate was fixed at
So so, the British rate, upon the sliding scale
used 10 that country, was only 81 6S per ton.

Tue THREATkYED CONTEST

TO under,tand the statements made in the
dispatch and letter from Pttsburg. published
Yesterday, il is necessary TO remember that the
men have been working for years in theory on
n sliding scale based upon minimum of 50 80
per ton to puddlers, with bar iron selling AT 2l2
per p)and or less. IL the price Of iron goes
above 2.5 cents, the wages of the puddlers and
other hands are TO be proporionately advanced.
In May, 1881, when this agreement was made,
the price was and for some time had been $50
per ton, or 2i2 cents per pound, and it was de-
manded that this should be minimum as TO
the scale that if the price should go lower than
that, the wares should not be affected, but
should remain mt the basis Of So 80 per ton for
pudding. In 1882, the price prior to April had
been above that point, and the agreement was
renewed for another year. But before that
year ended the price fell to 2l2 cents and has
never touched that point since. In 1888, when
the long strike began, the price was only about
pa cents, and the manufacturers felt that they
could not agree to continue at the old rate of
wages, with ruling prices below what was con-
sidered the minimum when that rate was fixed.
But they finally did 30, after long delay, and the
same rate was conceded year ago in the hope
of a speedy recovery in business, though the
price was then only 2 cents per pound. But
during the past year the price has dropped to
II cents per pound, 81 per cent below what
was regarded as the minimum when the rate Of
wages was fixed in 1881. Now the manu-
facturers propose that aft,r june the actual
current price shall be the minimum. with slid
ing scale from that point upward, so that the
wages paid. with bar iron at 1t cents or less,
shall be "a 20 for pudding. aud In BRO

THE HIGH BUILDINGS BILL.

The Assembly has acted wisely In adopting the
High Buildings bill by decisive majority. The
erection of inorlinately tall apartment houses
in this city ought to be controlled and regulated
bv some other principles than the owners greed
ar the architects caprice. The bulk OF the high
bindings con structed during the last five years
have been designed for residences, and are
situated above Fourteenth-st. One has lowered
above another until apartment houses fifteen
stories in height and over $50 feet above the
line of the street are now to be seen above ana
below Fifty-ninth-st. The design Of this
measure is to place restrictions upon buildings
of this character hereafter to be erected, the
height being regulated in proportion to the
width of the streets aud avenues upon which
they front. The height is not to exceed eighty
feet even when the street is more than sixty
feet wide. These restrictions II given legal
force will. have an important influence In pro-
noting the health and welfare OF the metropolis
Tall apartment houses not only place the
lives of the occupants in peril from fire and de-
fectiye plumbing and Inadequate ventilation,
but are standing menace to the life. safety,
health and convenience of the residents OF sur
rounding property. If one of these immense
masses of iron and masonry takes hIe' the
huildings on each side of the street are en-
dangered by roaring flames and falling walls
The towering roof and overshadowing walls
shut Oft sunlight from the houses opposite and
the street beneath Residents on either side
are condemned to live without sunshine and the
nayemept is damp and never dlsiniected by
natural processes. 1t has thus become serious
question with property-owners in the most
favored localities of the city whether they can
have cheerful and wholesome homes under the
shadow of these enormous piles of brick and
mortar. 1t is safe to say that the value of a
residence Is Immediately deprecated by the
erection of high building on adjacent prop
erty. The real estate owner who strives to
make as much as he can out of his investment
by running up story after story toward the sky,
not only deprives his neighbOrs OF life-giving
sunlight and adequate means OF ventilation,
and increases their risks from fire and pcsti-
lence, but also cheapens their property.
The proposed act will deprive property
owners OF the unrestricted title, which they
now have, to the air space above the ground

A GOOD WOMAN HOAORED.
