FIXING UP A SCALE.

erS.
Special to the Globe
PITTsBURG, Pa, June 5.-The thir-
teenth annual convention of the Anal
gamated Association of Iron and Steel
workers commenced in this city to-day.
Over 200 delegates presented credentials,
which fact shows large addition to the
membership of the organization.
Speeches were made by President
Weihe, Vice President NARROW and
others. The wages committee is ex-
pected to present the scale tomorrow
morning. The policy of the manufact-
urers was learned to-day. They will
not ask for less than S. for boiling on a
2-cent card, which is reduction of SO
cents per ton on the present rate. If
the men are reasonable it is possible
that settlement can be made at a re-
duction not exceeding 10 per cent in
any case. Should, however, a settle
ment fail to be reached, the possibilities
are that new adjustment of wages in
several of the finishing departments
will be required.

with recommendation that it be passed

The house then went into committee
of the whole on the tariff bill.
As Mr.. Springer took the chair f. A.
G. Handy, of the Chicago Times, waved
a large red handkerchief in the press
gallery, The Democrats applauded.
AS the chairmen pounded the desk for
order. Mr.. GroSvenor said that the en-
blem had been mistaken by the Demo
Gratis as bandana from Ohio. 1t was
telegram from Oregon. Mr.. Parker,
of New York, said that the
handkerchief had better be put
to its original purpose. The chair re-
minded the members that the house was
not political convention. After much
laughter and confusion order was re-
stored. After debate two sections of
the lumber clause were rejected and the
clerk turned the first page of the bill.
The next lumber paragraph was read.

that it be rejected, said that he had
heard that the st. Louis platform would
straddle the tariff question; that, al
though the Democratic banner would

ment that lightweight men had started

further discussion, Mr.. Bayne'S motion
to strike out the paragraph was re-
jected by a party vote. A motion to
strike out "stores of wood" was also
lost. The committee then rose. A mes
sage from the president vetoing the

ITS REFORM IDEA.
The Trades Assembly Unfolds It's
Views

The trades assembly last night had
one of the liveliest sessions of its history.
Most of the evening was spent in COM
plimenting Engineer Runker with hot
left-handers. The assembly has never
been especially friendly to him in sewer
works, and recent developments have
not tended to increase the love and es-
teen. A delegate submitted a facetious
communication on the engineer, which
the assembly enjoyed immensely. The
feature of the evening was the report
of the committee on municipal reform,
a synopsis of its recommendations being
as follows:
Reduce the salary of the mayor to
80. 1000. out Of which he shall pay his sec
retary, and not degrade the office of
mayOr to an entertaining machine. by
giving large salary for that purpose.
Cut all salaries to sum sufficient to
nav liberal amount for the services
rendered and require all fees to be COW
cred into the city treasury.
Elect two aldermen from each ward,
one every two years, at salary of $3.50,
for which they should give all their
time.
Appoint an efficient engineer who
knows enough of sewer construction to
concentrate the water in the smallest
possible space at the bottom, and who
possesses the ordinary skill required to
overcome the difficulties incidental to
sewer construction. Appoint practical
men known for their ability as firemen
and workmen without regard to party
politics, rather than for their skill in
ward polititics.
Abolish the police commission and
hold the mayor responsible for the good
order of the city.
Abolish the park police and enlarge
the city force to preserve decorum and
decency in the parks, thus saving the
