ment of the system of allowing an assessment
to fail duo on tia first or fifteenth or the list
day of tha month, rendering a number liable TO
suspension several times O month. That has all
been obvlated under the laws. Another i'm
portant clause IS that with reference to the
duties of q collector. Hereafter a collector of q
Council to the Supreme Council. and he thus
becomes In a certain sense a supreme rspresena-
tive. His work Is brought under the direct

Tho Pennsylvania and Maryland Steel
Companies to be Taken Out of the
Receivers Hands.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. 10.-An effort
is to be made to reorganize the Penn
sylvania Steel Company. Thatthe effort
will prove successful is believed by both
stockholders and creditors. The reor-
gauization OF the Pennsylvania Steel
Company involves the reorganization
OF the Maryland Steel Company, for to
all intents and purposes they are one.
The stockholders Of the Pennsylvania
company are among the wealthiest
citizens of this city, and all the stock in
the Maryland company is owned
by the Pennsylvania Steel Com
pany. They are Distinct corporations,
however. Tho works Of the Pennsyl-
vania Steel Company are located at
Steelton, near Harrisburg, and the
plant OF tho Maryland Steel Company is
at Sparrows Point, Md, few miles
from Baltimore. The Maryland COM
pany has, probably, the finest works en-
gagged in tho manufacture Of steel in
Lne country luG Culhpuhg ONh9 III
00O acres OF land ut Sparrows Point, and
has built fine town about the works.
The works had been completed but q
short time when the price of steel mill
products became so low as to cause the
company financial embarrassment, and
the appointment OF receiver followed.
A receiver was also appointed for the
Pennsylvania Steel Company. That was
about six months ago, and the plants
have been operated since by the court
officers.
The total capital stock of tho two
companies is S900O,000, all OF which is
paid up. The Indebtedness of the two
concerns amounts to S6,0OO0O0, and to
Offset this the receivers have SS,000,000
cash on hand, leaving sS,0OO,O0O of in
debtedness to be provided for before
the reorganization can be effected. The
stockholders think the time has come
to take the works out OF the receivers
hands,

THE nEHIGH STRIKE
May be Renewed Owing to Peculiar Re-
duCtlon In the Wage Scale.

uuCtlOh IN inc hhEc bcllo'
BUFFALO, N. Y. Dec. 1O.-Tho Lehigh
strike may be re-opened in all its in
tensity. An official circular has been
prepared, which will bo promul-
gated on Monday, addressed to the en-
ployes on the Northern (BuiTalo) di-
vision, and announcing a reduction in
wages. The employees on this division
have enjoyed pay schedule which has
been the envy OF railway men in the
vicinity Of other companies. The pres
ent reduction applies to yard engineers
and firemen and road fremen. The
now scale fixes the pay OF yard engineers
at 25 cents an hour, yard firemen at 10
cents IN hour for the first Six months,
II cents for the next six months and
III cents for after that; road aremen
81 80 day for the first six months, >
for the second six months and 81 10
after that.
The peculiar feature of this order is
that it will not affect the Lehigh's old
employees. who did not go out on strike
last month. They are TO receive the old
wages, as u reward for their fidelity to
the company's interests.
Tho new schedule will effect the
"scabs" and taken back brotherhood

federated brotherhoods have counselled
the men not to be harsh or hasty in
passing judgment on the action taken
