FOR FREE STEEL.
The Iron Men to Petition
Congress.
They Want the Duty on Raw Mate
riaIS Revoked, and Claim ii viii
Benefit California.

There is movement on foot among the
iron and steel merchants and manufactur-
ers on this coast TO ask Congress 10 wipe off
the entire duty on scrapiron, scrap steel,
steel billets and slabs, pigiron, iron ore, coal
and coke.
And the movement is coming TO focus
right now in this city.
petition is being prepared, and every
iron ana steel man, regardless OF political
afiiiation. will sign it, say its promoters.
c. w. Wright OF tile Pacific Iron. and Nail
Company is the moving spirit in this city Of
tbs petition, and several well-kDown firms
have already sgniied their willingness to
sign it and advocate it.
About the first of the year i will have
the petition ready for signatures. said Mr..
Wright to a CALL reporter yesterday.
ALREADY 600 iron and steel men of the
Atlantic seaboard have signed similar petit
tions, and we have no reason TO believe but
what the movement will be unanimous on
tbs coast
This is not a political movement. Re-
publicans. and Democrats alike are signing
and working for the revocation OF this in
iquitous tariff.
The aim is to get free raw material in
here, so that eur factories may Start up
again. Why. with free iron and steel and
coal Inc manufactures OF this coast VIII
give employment TO thousands who are now
out of work.
"Of course the men. Of Western Pennsyl-
vania Will oppose US, and Alabama and Ten
nessee will not be favorable, because they
have pigiron and coal products of their
own to sell. But about all the rest Of the
country will be with US.
1.-The. Pacific Coast needs these free raw
materials more than the people of the At
lantic Coast do Our great distance from
the iron and coal producing localities and
the high rail rates We have 10 pay render
IT impossible for US to compete with the
Eastern makers. We must get our raw
material from foreign countries II we ever
want TO do any manufacturing out here.
'People must not lose sight OF the fact that
everv dollars worth Of goods we get from a
foreign country we must pay it back in
goods of our own make or products Of our
own soil.
What we need out here is more trade.
We want ships coming in here loaded with
raw material and sailing out again with the
finished products in their holds, and that's
just what will happen just as soon as we
can get the duty on these articles revoked
The Juds0n Manufacturing Company, the
Pacific Rolling mills and numerous other
similar concerns have already signihed theii
willingness 10 support the movement.

PERSIA IN A BAD WAY.
The Shah Now Under the Control of
a PrieStiy OIiparchy


>. The internal affairs of Persia seem to be
proceeding steadily from bad to worse. A
corresp pondent of the London Times, who
declares that he has the highest authority
for his statements, writes: THE priestly
caste. which has always enjoyed greater
authority in Persia than in MGssulmap

humbled by the present ruling dynasty. has

to rule over the land. This omnous an
nonncement was rendered still more signifl-
cant by the omission of the khutbeh, the
PRAYER for the Shah, which throughout
Islam is the most ancient and sacred privi-
lege OF royalty. These incidents acquire
all the more gravity that tho Shah feels
himself helpless to cope with the impending
crisis. Treachery is ramnant within the
palace Itself, and the Shah's third son,
Prince Naib-es-Sultaneh, who is at the
same time Minister of War, Is known
to be IN secret sympathy with the NAL

TO say that the Shah rules in little more
than name. and, as it were, on sutferance.
