A QUESTION OF CARS.
The B. & o. and Lake Erie Not Bothered
by a Shortage in Pittsburg.

The B. & o. and Lake Erie Not Bothered
by Shortage in Pittsburg.
'1t is question of cars these days. The
business is good" said General Freight
Agent c. S. Wright. of the B. & 0. road,
yesterday. "We haven't had shortage
around Pittsburg, but they are scarce on
the Chicago end of the road and in the
Southwest. The grain trade is little slack
at present, but the coke shipments are
keeping up"
At the Lake Erie office they said they
haven't had a complaint about a car
scarcity for several weeks. In the last year
the equipment of the road has been greatly
increased. The Lake Shore ordered 1000
cars and the Lake Erie 500. Of these $50
have been received by the Lake Erie and
700 by the former road. AS fast as built
they are put into the service.

A Demand for Marble Cutters on Eight
Hour Work in New York.
Last night Arthur B. Smyth, of ALE.
gheny, National President of the Marble
Cutters Association, received telegram
asking him to send a number of good mar
BILE cutters to New York City at once. The
craft in New York work eight hours day,
and get larger wages than Pittsburg, but
there are not enough good men there to
meet the demand.
The national association was organized a
year ago, and will hold its second annual
convention in Chicago in October next. 1t
has grown rapidly, has succeeded in getting
eight hours established in New York, Chi
cago and st. Louis, and expects to have
eight hours all over the country next year.

A REDUCTION IN WAGES.
Axle Manufacturers Ask Their Men to Ac

Axle Manufacturers Ask Their Men to Ac-
cept 10 Per Cent Gut
Some time ago an effort was made by the
different axle manufacturers of the United
States to effect an organization for the pur-
pose of establishing and controlling prices.
A few weeks ago the combination broke up,
owing to the refusal of Pittsburg firm to
join the movement. Since that time the
various firms have been cutting prices to
such an extent that many manufacturers
claim it is impossible to operate their plants
with profit.
For this reason a reduction has been
asked for in some places. AT Wheeling
cut Of 10 per cent has been made. So far
the local firms have not asked their men to
accept reduction, but they are likely to.
Manufacturers claim that the cut in wages
will result in a speedy reorganization of the
pool

Makers of Armor Plate.
Lieutenant Werlich, who has been in
specting steel here for the Government

reduced to science. He thinks it is the
greatest iron center in the country, which
is admitted by everybody. -.
The Government contracts, he said
further, would not be delayed by labor
strikes. The armor plates are being made
by Singer, Nimick & Co., Carnegie, Phipps
& Co., and the Linden Steel Company.
These firms have signed the scale and the
work will be continued without delay. He
would like to see the old standing of the

A Settlement of the Controversy Over the
Wages of Deputy Sheriffs.
The big furore that was raised yesterday Y
relative to the payment of the deputies who
were on duty at Duquesne during the
trouble at the mill there has been disposed
of by a statement from both Sheriff Nc
Cleary and an official OF the company to the
effect that the firm will pay their wages, as
is always customary in such cases.
Vice President Carney, of the Amalgam-
ated Association, stated yesterday that his
firm should have the deputies there, but
that they should keep them employed in
trying to get strikers to go to work, thus
interfering with the business of the associa-
tion.
