Facts About the American Casualty Insur-
ance and Security Company, Of Balti-
more City, Md.

ance and Security Company, of Balti-
more City, Md.
In view of recent attacks that have been
made on the American Casualty Insurance
and Security Company, of Baltimore City,
in manner calculated to do it injury in
the minds of persons uniformed as to the
true state of the case, that such remarks
may have their simplest refutation stripped
of all mean motives, attention is called to
the official examination made recently by
two of the insurance departments, which
appears in our advertising columns TODAY,
one made by the New York Insurance De-
partment and the other by the Maryland
Department. TIE figures certified by the
officials referred to need but little comment.
Coming as they do from two independent
sources they show the remarkable progress
made by the company in the very short
time it has been organized while, as to its
financial condition, the certificates show it
to be in most satisfactory state. The
comparative statement of the principal
casualty companies complied from sworn
official reports as of the 1st of January,
1892, clearly shows that the American
Casualty Insurance and Security Company
takes the lead. As necessarily happens the
phenomenal progress OF this company has
given rise to attacks from various sources,
but as these have SO farappeared in anony-
nous shape. but little credence has been
given to them, as is evidenced by the large
annual business in premiums which the
company continues to receive. The Off
GERS and general managers of the company
are experienced underwriters, and the
directors include number of the most
prominent citizens of New York and

MILLS WILL LIE IDLE.

A Prominent Official of Shoenberser g.
Co. Says That They WIN Not Sign the
AmaIsamated Associations Scale in Its
Present Form.
In direct contradiction of the statement
published recently concerning the future
action of Shoenberger & Co., regarding the
scale question, high official OF the prom
inent steel firm last night said:
We will not sign the new scale of the
Amalgamated Association simply because
we cannot afford to. If the workmen will
not accept an adjustment and insist upon
the enforcement of the scale for the ensuing
year we will close down our plant
and allow it to remain idle.
There are many reasons why we do not
agree to the new scale, but the main one is
that competition is now greater than eve L
before. The last time the scale question
was discussed at our mill we entered into an
agreement with our men that their wages
were to De based upon every humid ed tons
of material made. Since that time, however,
new inventions have been introduced into
the works whereby the men cannot only
turn out 100 tons. but it is a common thing
for them to finish 200 and go tons in dav,
thus increasing their wages from 100 to $50
per cent. OF couse, this large increase in
the pay of the workmen does not affect
every department.. will admit that a s. so
basis for the puddlers is not large money,
this amount if some OF the higher moneyed
workmen would consent to reduction.
1t is scarcely necessary for me to say that
IL is impossible to form a combine among
the manu- acturers to keep prices up. simply
because there are too many manufacturers;
they are now at every nook and turn and
crossroad. 1 will venture to say, owing to
the great red uction in the selling prices, that
those iron and steel manufacturers who did
no: command good specialties did not make
dollar last year. The iron and steel trade
has now reached such a stage that the man.
ufacturers no longer control the prices, but
they have to take just what they can get for
their products.
Our workmen never stop to consider that
we have to pay largely for all the new ma
chinery and inventions that we use in the
mills. They never think that it takes an
enormous sum of money to build an iron and
steel plant, and they do not seem TO realize
that such a plant has to be practically re-
built every five years. Introduction of
new machinery means decrease in the
selling price, and yet the workmen will not
accept u reduction.

Congressman Bland, the free silver
crank of Missouri, passed through sthe city
