reduction in what is known as 20
gauge and lighter iron in the history OF
the Alnalgamated association until t
this scale year. The old scale was
signed in July, and the reduction was
made after the fall election
Wages in steel plants have also been
atilI further reduced this year, ranging
from % to % per cent in plants organ
lied in the Amalgamated Association,
and from 80 to 50 per cent il those not
organized.
When the Register says that in 1872
"wages of the protected iron and steel
worker were the lowest in the history
of the industry" it displays amazing
ignorauce of that history. Some Amer
lean history was made in this country
in "the good old Democratic times"
when VIC had a tariff-for-revenue-only.
No iron or steel worker who remembers
those times is eager to get back to them.
Mr.. Edward Atkinson, an able free
trader, writing in the Forum magazine
in May, 1892, used this striking Ian
guage: "There has never been period
i'll the history of this or any other
country when the general rate OF wages
was as high as it is to-day, nor period
when the workman in the atrictest
sense of the word has 80 iully secured
to his own use and enjoyment such
steadily increasing proportion OF a con-
stantly increasing product"
Whether "the iron industry or labor
has been benefited by McKinleyism,"
let the mon engaged in that industry
answer. Recently the president OF the
AmaIgalnated Association OF Iron and
Steel workers, speaking in the city be-
fore the Ohio Valley Trades Assembly,
protested in the name OF his association
against tho passage of the Wilson bill
and asked that the Mckinley act be let
alone.
When the Mills bill was before Con-
gress the Amalgamated Association
cent in remonstrance, il which it was
said: "Some will argue that our en-
ployers will reduce our wages anyway,
even though the tariff remains as 1T ID.
We ask you to leave that TO US, ana we
will endeayor to take care OF ourselves.
While every member OF our organiza-
ton is free to, and does, exercise his
political preference, we are protection
lists, and have unanimously declared
ourselves such as an organization at
almost every recurring general conven-
ton"
These iron and steel workers may not
know what is best for them, but
they think they do. The Register
may understand their business
much better than they do, but
they think it does not. They
prefer "A1cKinleyism." The Register
yearns for Wisconsin. They are for
home industry. The Register is for
foreign industry.
