ingmcn would not be required to suffer
for the necessaries OF life, It was best TO
raise the question now and fight II out
during the summer with thorough belief
that II could be permanently settled before
next winter. The workingnen, who are
always suspicious OF "a new move by the
masters, do not incline TO this view, and
regard this action OF President Clark's ~ u
subtcriugc TO lower their wages or lay them

Naturally, the commercial interests Of

company should have inaugurutcd this
battle now. But the issue In, been made

The fact II that for a LONG time the iron
masters OF Pennsylvania have known that
sooner or later they must combat with the
cheap iron producers Of the South. Until
recently difference in freight rates gave
the Pennsylvania master a lair profit, but
when Georgia aud Alabama iron, manu-.
featured ut cost OF 50 ton, can be
placed in New York Tor only % cents q ton
more freight than iron manufactured ut a
cost OF Sl2 ton in this locality only two
houn out Of New York, the contest was
