mon, all of whom arc members of the Anal
gamated association or other trade organiza-
tions. The stated cause of the suspension IL
lack of orders, but the workmen say
that the real purpose is to effect a
general and sweeping reduction OF
wages The Homestead works, employ
ing 1000 men, are the first to reduca
the rates Of pay, and the result is, therefore,
regarded as a test and an indication Of what
may be expected from the other mills The
employees at the Homestead are about equally
divided, slightly more than one-half
being Amalgamated association men
while the remainder are non-unionists
The contract of the works with the Anal.
gamated association expired ON Dec. 81, and
no new scale has yet been presented for the
current year. The cut in rates, therefore,
affects. all classes of workmen, and as the
Amalgamated men are skilled laborers, Il
amounts to 3Sk ,r cent to them.

Prohibition in Ohio.

The editor of the West Virginia
Freeman, the Prohibition organ of
West Virginia, reports a temperance
meeting held at Belaire which was
addressed by Hon. T. r. Carskadon,
of Keyser, w. Va.
In speaking of Mr. Carskadon's
speech the Freeman says:
Taking Mr.. Elkins' Missouri
speech as a text, Mr.. Carskadon
dwelt on the perils that theaten our
institutions because. of the lack Of
moral force in politics, and showed
the urgent necessity of party free
from the domination of the Liquor
Traffic, to bring in this saving moral
force, which must be brought into
politics, if our free, Republican insti-
buttons are preserved. A lifelong
Republican sof the strictest sect"
he claimed the right to criticise the
party he had been proud to serve,
when it became too puerile and COW
ardly to meet a great moral and po-
litical issue in this the country's
greatest emergency, when the people
arc in a life-and death struggle with
the giant power and curse of the
Liquor Traffic
The Prohibitionists of Ohio are
making a vigorous fight and they do
not claim relationship with the
republican party. The fact is they
know that the cause of temperance
will be promoted by the defeat of the
republicans though of course they
do not expect to succeed themselves
