New Iron scheme.

A rumor that the Cleveland Rolling Mill
company is entertaining propositions TO re-
tain its trade by placing its orders in
the hands of other manufacturers has been
current the last few DAYS. but private IN
formation is 10 the effect that the movement
is not in the form generally understood. A
gentleman largely identified in coal and
iron interests says that syndicate is being
formed with view of filing orders from
all districts where an inability exists to ill
contracts. whether from accidental causes,
strikes or delays of any nature. The loca-
ton is abundantly supplied with natural
gas rs fuel, and special rates OF freights are
guaranteed by railroad companies which
furnish transportation. 1t is designed TO be
a sort OF clearing house for iron and steel
manufacturers, where light stocks in many
specialtieS will be constantly on hand. 1t
is claimed That. with the special reduction
in freight for the manufactured goods by
nOn-carrying coal roads. and vita the
avoidance OF all freight Tor fuel, a saving of
cost will be assured which will enable
several of the largest iron and steel plants
IN the country to suspend operations en-
tirely when their orders are too small 10
warrant running their works to their full
capacity. The movement Is said TO have
originated with view OF assuming any UNI
finished orders and filing any new orders

Anotner Wabnsh Strike.

More trouble for the Wabash railroad is
threatened by the Knights of Labor, who
espOuse the cause of the striking Wabash
shOpmen at Springfield, Ill, and assure
them of their sympathy and support Mr..
Z. V. POwderly, who is the chief officer of
the national organization, went TO Spring
field and personally investigated the diff
Guilty. which arose from the refusal of the
company to discharge the nOn-union men
who were employed during previous
strike and retained. Mr.. Powderly is cred
tied with the opinion that the strike is a
Just one, and assumes that the action OF the
company is intended as a square fight in OPP
position to the labor organization. 1t is
claimed that all the knights of Labor in the
Wabash system will sustain them and go out
on u general strike. \ general meeting of
the district boards of the Knights of Labor
is TO be held at Parsons, Ill, or Sedalia.
Mo-, when plan of settlement of the Wa
bash railway troubles will be determined
upon. and be proposed to General Manager
Talmadge. 1t is declared that in the event
of its rejection a general strike will be or
dered next Tuesday.

Coin and Noie Tampering.

From the New York Graphic.
The weight test is the most accurate and
reliable. especially with gold coin.
The silver dollar is called the vagabond
of all coins, as it is tempered with and
counterfeited so much.
1t is singular fact that but one bogus
$50 gold piece has ever been discovered,
and this bears the date of 1850.
An officer of the secret service is author
ity for the statement that counterfeiting is
more extensively practiced than is gener-
ally believed.
As a general thing nothing smaller than
a SO gold piece is ever filled, though the
smaller coins are plugged, which is perhaps
the most common.
Silver coin that is less than the minimum
weight is rejected by the treasury officials,
anpthe owners are obliged to pass them if
they can or sell them for bullion.
A great deal of coin becomes light from
natural causes, and when they come into the
hands of the national treasury they are sent
to the mint and recoined, the Government
bearing the loss.
One way of tampering with double eagles
is to remove the rough edges and remill
them. Between fifty and eighty cents can
be obtained in this way from single coin,
and the difference is not perceptible to the
naked eye.
Almost any ingenious mechanic can
manufacture counterfeit silver dollars after
little experience. The machinery required
is very simple, being only plaster Of paris
mOulds of genuine coin, brittania, block tin,
lead and silver wash.

AQUEEES SOCIETY.
Minneapolis WOrknen Organizi
~ Dro-o,,r CaTssRo rg.oo VVucR. kB.a

Minneapolis WOrkRen organizing
TO Prevent Getting Too Much Pay.
According to the Minneapolis Tribune
twenty-five stonecutters met at Gross hall,
30 Plymouth avenue, Friday evening, for
the purpose of organizing society for the
purpose of preventing the increase of wages.
Strange as it Will seem the gentlemen don't
want to receive S4 day. With meek hui
mility they say that some of them do not
earn that much, and should only receive
about $3.50 or SIS day. This is probably
true of the members of the society" but
the candor is refreshing, and the fact that
they should band together to prevent their
employers from paying them too much is
simply eXhilarating. Such self-denial for
the sake of their bosses. it can be seen, car
rieS with il burden of no small proper
TONS For instance, the man whose mod
eSty induces him TO assure his employer
that he is only worth S2.50 day can work
only five months in the year at his trade,
owing to the length of Minnesota winters.
He is then in reality receiving the year
round only S1.25 day. When it is con-
sidered, too, that the nature of his
work is calculated to undermine
his health the extent of his unselfish devo-
ton to the cause of his employer can be
| still further realized W tn the StarNaIlOn
wages to which he insists in limiting him
self he must not only deprive himself of
all the luXuries but most of the comforts of
life His wife and children, too, must suffer
the pangs of perjury and want. They can
never be well clad and happy like the fami-
lies of stonecutteTs who, although they do
no harder and perhaps no better work, in
| sist upon receiving 81 per day. 4 man
who gets but S1.75 day in Minnesota can
not hope to own his home. nor to leave his
| family provided for when ne dies. There
are many other privatiOns which he will be
forced to endure, but they can be too readily
| comprehended to need mention.
The greatest wonder. however, IS that in
| Minneapolis or in the United States
| twenty-five men can be found who will
voluntarily reduce themselves TO poverty
for the sake of men in far better ciTcum-
stances: but the Tribune says there are that
many. and the membership OF the society is
to be increased to fifty. 1t is an unfortu-
nate thing for the contractors that compare
lively few stonecutteTs can be persuaded 10
throw away their lives in this way, but il
is fortunate for the StonecutterS themselves
and for the prosperity of Minneapolis that
worlmen are generally not only unwilling
to become paupers but are making an hon
orable endeavor TO prevent themselves from
being forced into position which means
ruin to themselves and 4 detrment to the
| community III which they live.

The Nail Strike.

1t now seems probable that the great nail
strike at Wheeling, w. Va, will end dis
astrOusly for the men, although the manu-
facturers will find that victory will cost
them dear in the way of unstable stock,
broken machinery and other ills which fol-
low in the wake of cheap and Incompetent
labor. On Saturday the owners of the seven
mills in Wheeling and vicinity signed con-
tract for three months with from ten to
twenty of the most experienced feeders in
each mill, and to-day one OF them, the Ben
wood. started up fourteen machines. As
rule, the machines had been left in COM
plete order by the nailerS, but with this in
their favor the boys made but indifferent
progress. However, the managers are
hopeful that the new men will rapidly learn.
On Monday two more mills will start in this
someway, and the Others, with one exception,
within week, number OF skilled nailers
from Chattanooga, Tenn, being meanwhile
imported to act rs tutors. The rollers and
heaters aSe reSigning i'll all the mills, but
their helpers are taking places, and the
spectacle will soon be presented of former
assistants running the mills in all depart
ments. Arrangements were also COM
pleted by the Spalding works at Brilliant,
near Wheeling, whereby ten nail machines
were to start with feeders running the ma
chimes, entirely ignoring the demands of
the naileTS. If these machines are run sue
ceSSfully all the mills will be started in the
same manner. The feeders of Jefferson and

these internal unions" which Judge smell
considers the curse of the land, overcome
my native modeSty, and with your kind
permission speak my mind concerning the
jurist who presumeS to condemn body of
law-Sbiding men whose aims are altogether
praiSewOrthy, and whose rigid observance
or the laws this alien judge might probably
initiate. These Internal unions" Mr..
Editor, have by lawful and proper means
succeeded in establishing rate of wages in
Washington. in nearly every branch of in
dustTy, which enables workingmen here to
live respectfully on their earnings without
being compelled to tax their wives and chill
dren with toiling daily from ten to thirteen
hours in some cotton mill, as is the case in
some sections of the country. These in
fernal unions" have, therefore, been the
direct means of adding largely to the pur
chasing capacity of thousands of bread
winners. thereby increasing correspond
ingly the volume of local trade. The
wonderful growth of prosperity which
has blessed our merchants, the stead
lily increasing pressure on your ad-
vertising columns, all are direct re-
suit OF the efforts of ''theSe internal
unions" l could enumerate many other
benifcent results which may be ascribed to
lies the labor world at the capital, but it
would be useless, for intelligent men, I'M
like Judge Smell, concede all that reason
able trade uniOniSt would claim. AS to the
danger to the community which our mod
em Solomon processes to see in trades
unions, it is hardly worth while to answer
a charge so clearly evolved from ignorance
and prejudice. Judge Smell is too much in
the company of different type of men to
be able to form a correct estimate of the
honest, earnest toilerS who are banded to-
gether in trades unions, and who in every
lawful way endeavor to secure to all who
labor "a fair days wages for a fair days
work" know Judge Smell does not con-
slider the attainment of this aim desirable;
L know he considers the acme of national
prosperity will be reached when everyone
can hire labor as eheaply as possible" but
that only proves how little a man may
know and be judge. In conclusion. let
NE assure Judge Smell that the cause of
labor will never be retarded by attacks from
men of his caliber. The labor unions are
built upon the rock of justice, and they
will live and they will thrive when our
unique administration of police justice is
no longer remembered.
