A REDUCED SCALE
Demanded by Iron Manufacturers
Yesterday.
Meeting Ofthe Western lrOn Association at
Pitssurg---An interesting Dis
eussiOn on the Subject.

The Western Iron Manufacturers Pfotsc-
tive Alliance met in annual session in the
hall Of the Western Iron Association, Hos
letter building. Fourth Avenue, yesterday
morning at IL o'clock. This organization
was effected two years ago, this having
been its third regular meeting, for
the purpose Of taking cognizance Of
wages and terms Of labor, and thus relieve
the Iron and The Nail Associations Of all
such business. The meeting yesterday wss
larger than any previous annual session,
there having been several times as many
present as there was one year ago.
All the districts were present either in per
son or by proxy.
The object of the gathering was to begin
me consideration Of wages for the coming
scale year. THIS subject was brought up
rly in the day and ELECTED very conidera-
b e interchange OF opinion, all Of which
tended toward unanimity of sentiment The
proposition was made by member, that it
was impossible longer to pay the scales of
rates that have hitherto obtained, the compe-
iition in the East having become so close,
The reductions there so frequent-without
any reductions in the West whatever-and
the depression in business so marked and
prolonged that it would be utterly useless to
attempt the maintenance fthe old schedules.
This proposition met with general
approval, and to it was add
ed the opinion that reductions in
prices in all leading articles might reasona-
bly, be regarded as permanent. The inha.
ton rates, which reached the spexal in war
times, had been gradual coming down to q
solid basis, and there was no prospective
apparent that the grading downward had
! not arrived at point beyond the reach Of
fluctuations to interfere with materially
These views were followed by d resolution
declaring that the rate for pudding after
the close Of the present scale year, shall be
four dollars per ton. and that the finishing
scales be graded down proportionately.
The resolution was adopted without dis
sent An election for officers wss then beld
and the old officers reelected. These
names are not usually reported for pubLcs-
ton, but it is well known that Mr.. A. f.
Heating is President and Mr.. Joseph d.
Weeks, Secretary.
At the Amalgamsted Association head
quarters Secretsry Martin was asked as to
the probable reception of the proposition
for reduction. Il have nothing to ssy,"
said he at is their privilege to make
whatever proposition that suits them. 1t i
our to consider it.
Ex-President Jarrett, who was present,
stated that q four dollar rate had not pre-
vailed in Pittsburg since early in 1861. 10
1860 the rate foe pudding was $3.50 cash
or 1915 in merchandise. In the winter o.
1856, for q Few months preceding ia
adoption of thu yearly scale, the rate wa,
$4.f5. The proposed cut is about u pc
cent

The Ohio Valley Protective Union Of this

nual meeting in another column, has Sc
cured the services as Vice President of Hon.
Geo. d. Eldridge of Boston, Mass, gen.
tleman whose business education has been
that of lite insurance, theoretical and prac-
teal from the start. As writer on life in
surance he is known BY every insurance
man in the country, and his work on The
Guardian Of Boston, of which he is the edi-

in the advancement of Mutual benefit life

and protection ofthe rights Of policy holders
Although he has had broad experience in
addition to his special training in life in

TEE E1.,r GRoYE ROAD.
A Citizens Meeting ut Elm Grove The
SIX Road 10 he Built

A citizens Meeting ut Elm Groye-Ths
Road TO be Built
Last Saturday meeting of the citizens
of Elm Grove was held in the Town Hall
for the purpose Of taking some definite
action toward having the motor line extend
ed from Wheeling Park to Elm Grove. Our
readers are aware that the railroad company
decided last week to build the road if the
people living along the line would give them
a free right-otway. At the meeting of the
citizens committee Olive was appointed 10
view the proposed route and to
secure the right of way. Ever since
that time the committee has been hard at
work getting the rightoi-way, and will on
next Saturday meet the Board OF Directors
of the Motor line and report what can be
done. 1t is sincerely hoped that the peo-
pie will give the right-efWsy for their is
nothing in the world that would be of more
use TO them financially as well as an ac-
com mediation than the building of this
road to the town of Elm Grove The mo-
ment the road is completed, the property in
that section of the county will be advanced
25 per cent as large number of men,
with small means, nov living in the city,
would purchase ground and build, simply
from the fact that they would have all the
advantages Of country life in the way OF
health and cleanliness, and by means of
the motor line could attend attend to their
duties in the city every day and return to
their homes at night at very little cost.
A REGISTER reporter has talked with quite
a number of the citizens of Elm Grove and
vicinity, aud all ofthem are in favor of the
road being built There is, however, one
or two property owners living between the
Grove and the present terminus of the
road that are not in favor OF
allowing the road to go through their premi-
ses and from them the trouble of the right
ofway is pending. These persons do not
want the road extended, from the simple
fact that where it is now located they derive
all the accommodation it affords. They do
not Tor an instant think of those persons at
the Grove and east of it. That is the exact
reason they will not give the rightotway,
and it is very probable that their property
will have to be condemned by process Of
law before they win yield one foot oft,

NATURAL GAS.
Some Interesting Points on the Supply of
Cheap Fuel.
tn fbs E,fifor of The Rs1ixter

some interesting oh tHO SuPpAy Va
Cheap Fuel.
To The Editor Of the Register.
Lately the question of securing supply
Of natural gas as fuel for Wheeling factories
has been agitated and the necessity of Be-
curing it in order TO compete with Pittsburg
is admitted by every manufacturer who has
given the matter any attention.
All efforts in and around Wheeling have
been fruitless; while it may be possible to
obtain gas at very great depth the expert
ments be connected with such an enormous
outlay of money as to prevent a syndicate
from undertaking the work with almost
certain failure in view.
Again all calculations of biologists have
SO far proved little or nothing. The large
we'll in Midway, owned by Messrs George,
Dalzett and Gilmore is the most powerful
one around Wellsburg, while the we'll ESQ
feet north Of it in Lazearville has only
very small flow and in Wellsburg proper two
wells have been drilled which proved dry
holes, although directly in what is called
the gas belt
The we'll now being drilled in Windsor,
owred by the Windsor Mining Company has
shown up different from any wells in opera
ton in Wellsburg. At depth of 400 feet
a strong flow of gas was struck, which has
lasted ever since that time, some two
months ago, and as the well is intended to
be test well, the parties went down further
to find the third sand in which
the gas used in Wellsburg is found.
If this sand is there it will be reached next
week unless delayed by accident if not, the
gas at 400 feet depth is sufficient to be
utilized on the grounds, but it would take
many wells of the same size to justify the
expense OF piping it long distance. Before
the gas in 400 feet depth was shut of by
by casing it did throw the water in the well
80 feet above the top of the derrick, a total
heighth of l25 feet, first in intervals ofsev-
eral hours, bnt later every hour which indi-
Gated an increase of the flow, and the in
tense could weather madeit necessary to
shut off this flow in order to proceed with
the work of drilling.
Messrs. Gill Bros. Of Steubenviile, are
now sinking well one mile above Brilliant,
Ohio, directly opposite Lazearville, and
have leased ground on this side of the river,
for one or more wells.
The supply of Gas in Wellsburg at pres
ent is abundant, but there may be not
enough now, taking all wells together, to
supply city of the size of Wheeling, how
ever, as it is at present the nearest place 10
Wheeling where gas is found, it would
naturally be to place 10 look to for eventual
supply. U.

Power of Money.

This comedy drew good audience to the
Opera House, last night, and will do SC
again tonight.
The fun was introduced by peter Lu-
ciUs Jolland," an operate comedian,
which part was taken by Frank Davis and
bis operate wife, Miss Fannie Davis, who
oys joyously among the darker, more
somt er characters.
The play Of course, represents the
trismpfs OF virture over vice, and in this
c. So the villain is particularly villainous,
ard the heroine and her lover are more in
nted Of sympathy than is usual.
Some ofthe scenery is wonderfully effec-
tive. and combines with the dialogue to
make perfect dramatic picture. This is
especially so in the last act, when the great
Horse Shoe Bend scene is introduced.
The play is well mounted and the parts are
well taken.
