The '.BIack List
CHICAGO. August 2i-Gen. Manager T.
st. John of the Rock Island road was re-
called by the strike commission today. Mr.
ST. Johns testimony of yesterday, regard
ing the black list. had apr" rentiy not salts
fled the Commissioners and he was closely
questioned regarding it,
You have said" said Commissioner Ker-
nan. that your road has no black list Now
is II fact that the General Managers As
ISOLATION has black list?'
mo such thing as a real black list exists
among the railroads to my knowledge" was
the answer. There was, however / be-
lieve. a list of names prepared for the Gen
eral Managers Association. 1t contained
the names OF the most active of the strik-
ers, and has been, l think submitted to
NEST OF the roads by the association. 1t
cannot properly be called a black list, how
ever
Mr.. st. John was then asked to tell what
he knew OF the story that all railroads had
adopted a uniform scale of wages.
The rumor is untrue" he said
Has no such scale been prepared?''
We'll. believe something of the sort was
submitted to the General Managers Asso-
ctltion, but was not universally adopted
In fact it was rejected by all but one road
and on that line was put into only partial
effect There is absolutely no truth in the
statement that the roads represented in the
General Managers Association have adopt
ell uniform scale"
John Nj. Egan, strike manager of the Gem
eral Managers Association, succeeded Mr.
st John on the stand. Mr.. Egan was ques-
toned regarding his duties during the
strike, and said ii was his duty to receive
reports from the various roads, of the prog
ress of the trouble and to submit the same
TO the association.
Activity Looked For I'm the Iron
Trade.
CLEVELAND, Ohio August 24-The Iron
Trade Review says: The disposition an
pears in most departments of the iron trade
to look for an active market in the fall
months. When the railroads order cars to
replace those which they have been discard
ing for more than year past, one i'm
portant requisite of revival will be realized.
The better demand which foundries are
finding just now is a promising factor in
the situation. The requirements i'm the
single lire of tin plate manufactures for
plants now building and those about to be
contracted for form no insignificant total
The record of orders for boilers as report
ed recently by the leading makers reflects
the increasing activity in all manufacturing
In architectural work a good deal Of fig
uring is being done, and in several i'm
portant ceEters the requirements of pro-
jected buildings and elevated structures
will soon mature. For quick shipmen,
Bessemer is sold at s12.25 and billets In
small quantities at sl7.75 TO SIS. Gray
forge is still strong in northern markets
and in some instances better price than
$40, Pittsburg, has bee. secured Finished
material shows an encouraging demand in
most lines, but in the main does not share
the frmness of raw iron and steel.
