IRON AND STEEL WORKERS
Making Ready for Chnngo In tho Scale
OF Prices Next June.


NEt Of Prices Next June.
Plr7sDuRdH, Pa, Feb. 25.-The va
rious lodges Of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation Of Iron and Steel Workers are
already considering the scale Of prices
which is to take effect throughout the
country in June. The most important
change asked for will bs an alteration
IN the way of paying roughers in
guide mills. They now receive 72}
cents per ton, or one.eighth of the en-
tire cost of running out a ton. They de-
mand one.ffth each, and claim they
earn it by the hardest work. Puddle1s.
also, will ask for an advance Of 10 per
cent. Many Of the lodges will also ask
that their sliding scale be based on a
more popular kind Of iron than bars.

PASSED BY TWENTY MAJORITY.

After an animated, but not protracted
discussion, and without any amendments
materially affecting its protective features,
the Mckinley bill was passed in the House
Of Representatives yesterday by . vote of
1862 ayes TO l42 nays, which was q strict
party vote, except that Coleman, Repub-
lican from Louisiana, voted with the DEM
Gratis against the bill. By this action the
Republicans in that body have earned and
will receive the plaudits Of all broad gauge
members of their party throughout the
country. Here and there. perhaps, few
selfish individuals whose personal interests
outweigh their regard for general princi-
Piles. may complain, but the very general
verdict will be one of approval.
1t is particularly gratifying 70 note that
such men rs De Haven, McKenna, Nor
row and vandever, of California, Butter
worth Of Ohio. Henderson Of Iowa. Med
ringhaus of Missouri and few others were
content with proposing such amendments
- regard for the special interests of their
constituents demanded, but that when out
voted by their copartisans they gracefully
yielded to the will of the majority. 1t is to
be regretted that Mr.. Coleman could not
see his way clear to a like acquiescence. hut
must needs mar the harmony OF a clean
cut division on party lines.
McKinley's gcneralship in handling the
measure and in bringing the contest TO a
termination IS promptly as was compatible
with proper show Of respect for the oppo-
sition, cannot be too highly commended
A longer suspense would have been hurt
full to every business interest of the coun-
try. and IS the party was pledged by its
success TO the principles embraced in the
bill, any avo,dable delay in settling dis
turbing doubts on the question would have
been inexcusabIe. And now that every as
pect Of the measure has been fully dis
cussed in the House and in the columns of
the press, the country will look to the Sem
ate for q disposition OF the question by the
passage of the bill as perfected with as few
formalities as possible, and with no more
waste of time in debate than is demanded
by a conventional regard for the strict
privileges of the minority.
1t is especially pleasing that this great
reform measure owes its passage to not one
single Democratic vote. The entire credit
and responsibility OF its passage belongs to
the Republicans. All of the dire corse-
quences that have been so freely predicted
BY the other side the Republican party will
bra...y shoulder. and will have a right to
demand fail credit for all of the benefits
that will accrue. 1t is hoped, and there
seems no reason 10 doubt. that the Repub-
licans OF the Senate will be equally true to
the psrty's policy and pledges. and show
equal courage by an expeditions disposition
OF the bill
