twice.
But after all this, aud after including
about every concern making sheet'iron

three ttmst "shaot.iron workers, lfssa'
burgh, $1,000" are added 10 take a
single instance, this includes five OF the
works OF the Carnegie Company already
mentioned twice, which make stool
sheets aud plates, aud 80 Of others,
And as II this was not enough, there II
also added ''tlnplate workers, Pitts
burgh, 1900" but II ls quite unnecei'
sary 10 say that there arc not that many
iinplate workers in Western P0nniyl'
yania, and most Of those are Included
under separate Embellishments, But
this sort OF padding runs all through
tho list. The twenty bar mills, Pitts
burGh and Ohio" appear, ~ II these

After eliminating all obvious rope

sos, he employed in all branches OF the
industry, according to the census OF
live years ago. About quarter OF tue
hands have gained 10 per cent from the
exlTams prOSlFation OF 1891, according
to tho list Yet this industry advanced
tho wages Of mora nands than all other
manufactures put together, according
to tho iaborG1 statement prepared by
FREQ trade clubs, because an advance OF
50 per cent ia average pricss Of iron and
steel products has been found possible

FRAUDULENT REPORTS or COTTON MILLS
The Implications in the cotton manu-
iacturO were less numerous, but yet
quite enough 10 affect tho aggregate
materially. The Cochsco mills woro in,
cludsd twice, and they nave about 6,O0l
hands. Tho great Hill, Continental aud
AHdroscoggin mills Of Lewiston arc all
included twlCe, both the two former for
June 2t and July |, and the latter for
June IL with 1000 and July with 5000
hands. All the lowell mills, with 10000
hands, are PM in as body, ahd
then tha Lowell mills again, aud the
Whittier aud some other mills separate
". Tho Fail river mills are given as
having 5000 hands, whereas lhore
we're less than 10000 cotton workers OF
all aurts in that city according 20 the
census, and then several OF them aro
separately given in the same month.

MassS are given, and than tho Berk-
shire aud Rentrew separately. The
Quinnebaug Is given as three different
mills, With 1900 hands. The Lewiston
bleachory is repeated twice. Tho fact
about this industry Is that tho riso OF
oyer $40 por balc on more than 100000
bales bought by northern mills when
GOTTEN was cheap has enabled them 10
do remarkably well, and 1t is rather
matter OF surprise that, alter acrAplng
the whole country so carefully that
many concerns are included more than
once undsr different names, only S3,l70
hands appear to have gained an advance
averaging less than per cent during
the last year, out OF 22l, $50 hands en-.
plOted five years ago.
wooLES NLLs-EsroErs INFLATED
