A representative Of the RErunLrcAN
called this morning at the. Diamond
State Iron Comphnys works. where
he was informed by ono connected
with the firm, that the company en-
ployes about 1900. hands including tho
South Side mill.
In replyto the inquiry, II they were
likely to be affected by the Homestead
strike, the answer was mot In the

said that the character OF the work
and the scale of wages In the east,
were different from those OF the west.

Homes tead? was asked.
Wages are not SO high in the east
but tho work Is different" The roller.
man OF the west lie cal led the finisher
here, and gets wages In proportion to
the number OF tons of iron produced.
Some heats may weigh so pounds, and
some twice that, but q fnisher has
often made as. high as S12 q day, but
the average was near about 90 or S7.
The Diamond State had no roeulaI
scale OF wages. but the men worked
ON fixed contract. Very often the
mills were kept running at a great
disadvantage simply to keep the men
employed.
Reference was made to two firms In
Philadelphia. Hughes 4 Patterson and
Gaulbert MoFaddon and Cassidy who
employed Union men last year and
worked on q sliding scale Of two
cents pound.
The time for this sliding scale ex.
pired the S0th OF June, when the mills
shut down for repairs. These firms
will not start again with union men.
They say they are threatened with 0
strike for every little trifiing Incident
IL there happens to be an obJectiona
Bile man In a gang who cannot make
full hand or If he Is objeotl enable In
any respect his discharge would be
followed by the threat OF strike until
he was taken on again.
The employees OF the Diamond
State Mills paid higher wages than are
paid In any other cities east Of the
mountains, and the men, 80 far as ID
known, are satisfied. The company
however, had to work for very small
profits TO keep everything going, on
account Of active competition al
over thecountry.
