Wages of Tube-works Employees.

PTTsBURG, Feb. 1.-The general movement
among pipe manufacturers to secure reduction
of wages is attracting attention. Present wages
are not covered by any scale and although the
matter is considerably mixed the move is con-
sidered to be an effort to fix q uniform scale. 1t
is evident that there is dissatisfaction among
the manufacturers, aud great difficulties will
be encountered in fixing uniform
scale, owing to the different manner in
which the work is done. Two thousand pipe
mill men are already idle on account of the re-
ducron. If all the mills in this vicinity were to
close down it would affect at least IL 900 man.
The Knights of Labor control the majority of
the tube works in the country Master Work.
man Doyle, of District Assembly SO. stated to-
day that he did not think the men would accept
q reduction of wages. Leaders of the tube
workers favor the forming of a national district
assembly, Knights of Labor.
