THE SCALE COMPLETED.

Iron Workers Get Through With Their
scale-They do Not Anticipate ANY Trou-
bie-A Committee to Meet the Carnegie
Firm.
The morning session of the Amalgamated As
sociation Convention, yesterday, was occupied
in considering the report of the Scale and Wage
Committees. The scale was completed finally.
and although it does not differ materially with
the one in force during the year, contains many
changes. None of them, it is thought will be
Objectionable to the manufacturers, and no
trouble in the iron and steel industry is ex-
pected this year. The scale as drawn up was
sent to the printer last night, and will be pre-
sented to the manufacturers this evening or
tomorrow.
Some changes of a very important nature are
contemplated in the constitution, and this sub
ject took up most of the afternoon. Nothing
was done, however, and the matter will be con.
sidored at this mornings session.
The trouble that may occur at the Home
stead plant of Carnegie, Phipps & Co., on Mr.
Carnegfe's sliding scale proposition, was dis
cussed at length. A scale that will be satisfac-
tory to the men, and one that does not differ
very materially with the one proposed by the
firm, was drawn up and turned over to a COM
ployed in the mill: John House, James Kaine,
Daniel Cussick, William Brown, ]. B.
harrington, Levi Felty, George W.
SSarver' Mevin MeGonyille Oscar Golfesh,
lus Il
Jury, J. II. Dodge, John E. Jones and Presi-
dent Weihe. Another member will be added
to the committee from the 33-inch mill TODAY
and this body will confer with the firm on the
scale. A settlement is expected, as there is not
great deal of difference between the two
scales.
A proposition to engage a lawyer to look
after the interests of the organization and ad-
wise as to the legality of strikes was considered
but no definite action on the matter was taken
At the close of the session Mr.. Weihe was
asked by DISPATCH reporter whether he
would be candidate for reelection again and
he said:
81 have answered that question before, but
will state positively that am not candidate
and will not accept the position under any cir
cumstances."
Secretary ]. D. Weeks, of the Western Iron
Association, was seen last evening while he
was hurrving to an amendment meeting He
stopped for moment or two to talk to a couple
of Amalgamated Association delegates and a
DISPATCH reporter II do not know ANYTHING
about the iron scale this year." said he 'as I
am kept very busy looking after the interests
OF our prohibition movement. will say this.
however. believe there will be big fight at
Homestead, and believe the Carnegies
do thing they generally get there.
When they get their teeth set they will
not back out. If the men intend to fight the
proposition made to them, would advise them
to consider it well before they do. do not know
what the iron scale will be this year, but as /
said before, if it Is the same as last year with
out any snakes it will likely be adopted, or
lthave not had conversation with manufact-
nrer on the subject for long time, but l DO
not think any Of them are worrying about the
matter"

General Hastings. DR.. Foster said that the
wrong idea when they supposed that the water
was dangerous to them.
The atmosphere around here is perfectly
clear and healthy" he said, land the oxydiza-

river Is sufficient assurance of the fact that the
hydrant water is wholesome and certainly
does not contain any diseased matter. can
assure you that the hydrant water is preferable

because the latter are nearly all dangerous

found hereafter.
General Hastings said that there was enough
food on hand TO feed all the people for five days
to come, and with the rapid transportation
which is now arranged for by all railroad
