Heavy Freight Traffic.

The G, & O. Yards here were blocked
with freight on Sunday last, as many as
"a trains arriving in that number of
hours. Every available engine was
brought into use, but even then the sup
ply was found inadequate. This is a
very encouraging sign, and will be a
great help to the large number of extra
men who have been idle for weeks. The
prosperity of the G. q 0. is always felt
in this growing city. May it's business
increase daily.

roRrY roRkMrN GO ONT


From the Mccullough Irsn Co.. Rolling
Mill--The Demand of 10 per cent In-
crease Refused.
The whole force of the "loose" mill
at the Mccullough Iron Co.'S rolling
mill, Seventh street and Railroad
avenue, stopped work Tuesday week.
The cause was that the company de-
clined to accede to demand of 10 per
cent increase in wages. The number of
men employed in the mill is 40. The
men assert that other mills, for instance
that at Conshohocken, which they say
does the same kind of work, phys u %
per cent higher wage.
A representative of THE GAZETTE
called ON President Il. A. Harvey of the
Mccullough Iron Co. Thursday. Mr..
Harvey SAID ii is true that the mill has
been closed on account of the fact that
the request OF the employees for 10
per cent increase in wages had been re-
fused.
"9es," he continued, 81 just told the
men it was impossible to accede to their
demand. The fact is business as it is
now does not warrant any such an adj
vance. The company literally cannot
afford 1t, as the orders we have do not
afford such Il margin.
"As to the mems claim that other
mills producing the same staple as our
loose mill pay a higher wage than we
do, that is incorrect. We pay the mar
ket wage, just what is paid elsewhere.
Nov, at Conshohocken different
kind of work is done. There they do
special work. Ours is the staple work.
The employees at Conshohocken get
special wages for their special work.
"The men are paid by the ton and we
run four high and the Conshohocken
mills run three high. That means that
the mill here affords more tons, that is
the possibility Of more wages, than the
| Conshohockeu mills.
"Fhe state of business does not ut all
warrant our ucceding to the request of
the men. For the staple work done
here the men get the regular market
wages. Some of them were getting us
high as $3.50 to $2.T5 per day. The
mill has run without cessation, night
and day for Is months, and has given
employment to It's full capacity.
1.-The contract upon which we took the
orders that we are working up does not
warrant an increase uf 10 per cent as
asked by the men. We are doing the
best we could for our employees under
the circumstances and as well as the
other mills in this region that do the
same nature of work If the meh had
kept on they would have been insured
work to Christmas"
One of the firm said to the reporter
"You see the mill door is closed. We
are ready to start again any time tho
men will accept the present schedule Of
wages"

Her eyes are moi ',cruDean blue"
Her ''silken tressGs' do not fall
In ripping waves Of amber hue"
She has no special gift at all
This gentle woman, sweet and good,
Who sprang not from a royal race,
Yet wears her crown of womaahuUd
With more than queenly grace.
She does not seem to FLOAT on air, .
Like thiStledown, amidst the dance;"
Nor would her modest spirit care
To hold men spellbound with glance"
But she Is gracious TO the poor;
The sick ana sorrOwiul aver
That when she enters at their door
The sunshine follows her.
She has not scared to Learning's heights,
Or sounded VISIONS depths profound,
She only claims her woman's rights
Where tasks her tender hands abound;
Yet, though She shrinks from themes ub-
struse,
Nor stuulrS ethics" overluuch,
The common things in daily use
Grow ialrcr at her touch
Enjoying most where most she loves
She has no great desire TO roam,
But by her pure example proves
How love may sauCtify the home,
Aud thus she rules with kindly hand
The realm she understands the best
While all her happy household band
Arise and call her blGst.
