WAGES OF IRON WORKERS.

The New York Times of yesterday ha
an excellent article on the subject of tn
iron workers and the Mills bill. Htake
the ground that there are no protecte
manufacturers in the country that ca
better stand reduction of rates than tb
makers Of iron and steel. and it fortifie

wealth which has been acquired by tn,
Edgar Thomson Steel Works and
other establishments In Pennsylya-
MIA. This vast wealth, as the
Times well observes, resembles more
the winnings of lucky spectators than
the earnings Of men engaged in legitimate
business, and some idea Of the great
profits OF the iron masters may be gath.
cred from the statement of Mr.. W. L.
Scott to the effect that q member of the
Edgar Thomson Steel Works admitted
to him that he drew from that concern
In one year dividends to the amount of
$1,500,0OO, and the Pennsylvania Con.
gresham, who has been familiar with the
business OF producing iron and steel for
many years, estimated the profit of those
works In q prosperous year as not less
than $5.000.0OO.
But 1t seems that the iron-wage earners
have not been so fortunate. They have
always had to take the risk of good or
bad years, and when the latter came also
regularly came reduced wages. strikes
and suffering. while the owners were able |
and content to live on the vast accumula.
tion of better times. On this subject our
New York contemporary makes some
wise remarks, which are worthy Of care
ful consideration. 1t says;
Work in the furnaces and mills Is
uncertain. The cost of living Is high.
Rates Of wages have little to do with in
come, as poverty and misery are often
found among the workingmen of mills
that have made their owners enormously
rich. II has more than once occurred to
these workingmen that there must be
something wrong In system that can
produce such state Of things, and they
