WILL NOT REDUCE WAGES.
The Boiler Manufacrurers' Association Can
not Tamper With Them.


not Tamper With Them.
1t is denied by the officials OF the Ameri-
can Boilermakers' Association that the
question of wages will be considered at the
New York convention. Mr.. James Lappan,
who will preside at the meeting, said yester-
day it was not within the province of the
association to tamper with the wages ques-
ton. If it was, he would be in favor of ad-
vancing the wages instead of decreasing
them. The workmen In Pittsburg get from
50 25 to 50 so per day, and the scale varies
in the different localities.
Secretary A. T. Douthett of the associa-
ton, also denied the intention of either re-
ducing the wages or forming trust, as had
been stated at various times. In reference
to the trust Mr.. Douthett said:
"a trust proper, organized for the purpose
of enhancing prices, can benefit those torm-
ing it only tor a limited time, and will
eventually make prices extremely low on ac-
count of increased competition, which is the
inevitable result. as there are always those
ready to enter any line of business in which
there is combination to raise prices. Thus,
and ruin a sufficient number of manufact-
urers to restore the equilibrium. This is ac-
cording to natural law, and would suggest
that manufacturers benefit themselves by
working in accordance with natures law,
and organize for the public good. Then
profits will be assured, and will be kept as
uniform as the management of business can
possibly make them"

FIVE YEARS. WORK
Said to Have Been offered the Ma
tional Tube Works Strikers.
THEDIRECTORs WILL MEET TO-DAY
Stonemason's Withdraw From the Inter-
national Union.
COOPERATIVE TINNERS SHUT DOWN

Some of the men now on strike at the
National Tube Works are of the opinion
that their outlook will assume favorable ap-
pc arance when the directors OF the company
meet In annual session to-day, and this is
counted upon. When asked yesterday
about it, General Manager Converse said in
refusing the demand, he was carrying out
the instructions OF the company. The
| directors had decided upon the matter be-
fore an answer was given to the men, and
three will be no interference by the directory
| now.
! One man in discussing the strike situation
said the result would be, if the directors
should take action, that the employees OF the
plant who are'out on strike, be given a certain
time to resume work.
| A lap weld and a bent weld furnace are in
operation at the plant being managed by
contract welders who have doubled up. The
different foremen are making efforts to Sc
cure men so as to put an additional furnace in
| operation to-day. The molders of the plant
state that while they are idle they are not
striking, as they are under contract, but
cannot work as all labor is idle. This
| departments of the mill are idle but the
men are not in the strike.
The employees of the coupling department
of the tube works held meeting yesterday
and decided that they are ready to return to
work whenever the other men 60 back.
The men were paid off yesterday, but they
did not parade over the streets with band
as they had intended to do and there was no
disorder. At least $4,000 was paid the
men. The foremen spent the greater part
of yesterday trying to get the men to 20
back to work, but the latter say they will
stick out until their demands are granted.
Great inducements, however, have been
offered. In some cases, it is said, five
years contract has been placed before the
eyes of the workmen.
The directors of the works will meet to-
day. but Manager Converse says their visit
has nothing to do with the present diff
Guilty. 1.-THE Board of Directors
are here" said he, ''to look after the
erection of new furnaces at Riverton."
Notwithstanding this the men think they
will gain something by the directors being
on the ground. ....
D. W. Hitchcock, T. G. Sweetser, j. H.
Flagler and Reuben NJ. Head, directors of
the company, were at the Duquesne yester-
day afternoon. Mr.. Flagler left town by
the $50.

stonemnsons 70 Form an Independent Na.
tionnI Organization.
The stonemasons met last night in Hi
bernian Hall, oniWylie avenue. A large
number were present, and the important
business was the action on proposition to
withdraw from the Bricklayers and Stone
masons' International Union, which was
decided in the affirmative. 1t is the inten-
ton to form national organization Of
stonemasons as soon as possible, as the fol-
lowing letter, which has been prepared for
publication, will show:
Inc Stonemasons desire to make 1t known
70 tne building trades that the question OF
wages Tor this season has been settled. The
contractors have granted All advance of cent
per nour, which makes the price now 40 cents
an hour. or IS 60 per day, and car fare within a
radius OF ten miles. We desire also to make It
known that our meetings are held every
wednesday evening at Hibernian Hall, near
the corner of Fifth and Wylie avenues, and
known to all concerned. that we have with
and have resolved to do all in
our power toward organizing stonemasons
national union OF America. We are hard at
work and Ousily engaged communicating with
other unions on this important question:. and
have already received some favorable replies.
Ii possible convention will soon be called
to devise means and measures whereby. a
national or International organization can be
tcate with us through the Comnoner and Glass
Worker. We hope our labor on this movement
will not be in vain."
One of the members said last night he
thought the national organization would be
formed within a few weeks.
