The Eastern and Western Iron Associa-
lions to Consider the Revision.
PITrsBURG, PA, December 27.-hr. B.
F. Jones, President of the Western Iron
Association, has been notified by letter,
that at recent meeting Of the Eastern Iron
Association, held in Philadelphia, COM
mittse had been appointed to meet with a
similar committee to be appointed by the
Western Association, and consider the re-
vision of the card of extras now in use by
the two bodies. The idea has met with
much favor in Pittsburg, and it is very
probable that a conference will be ar
ranged. Secrttiry Weeks, Of the Associa-
ton, has been instructed TO take the ne
cessAry steps to have meeting.
The card OF extras is based on the COM
mon two cent card, and calls for higher
prices for products requiring extra cost and
labor. The meeting will probably be held
in Philadelphia. 1t is a question now
whether joint committee can so revise
the scale as 10 make il suitable to both
parties The card rate has never been re-
spected, and if such an arrangement can.
not be made, individual firms threaten TO
cut loose from the Association and formu-
late list Of their own.
