NEW AMALGAMATED SCALE.
A Fight Over the Proposed Standard of $4 a
 Ton for Pudding.

Cleveland, O.. May 26.-A vigorous fight is on in the Amalgamated Associa- iion convention over the report of the wage committee. which recommends that the western iron scale be based, as heretofore, on a rate of $4 a ton for pud- ding The delegates from the Ma honing valley raised a red hot objection to the report. They want scale based on $5.
 The scale committees report has al- ways been given great weight in former conventions. The committee has low cred the card rate to 1 1-10 cents per pound for bar iron on which the $4 rate is based. The change is regarded as u ShfeWd proceeding. In case bar iron advances the committee has paved the way for a $5 pudding rate. The old card rate was 1h cents per pound. The workers expect a speedy advance in the price of bar iron. They base their calcu lations on the recent meetings held by the bar iron manufacturers. the concu- sion of which led to the popular opinion that an increase is in sight.
 Part of the new scale follows: gro in sure uniformity of iron in furnaces and avoid the increasing custom of running in strong for common iron increasing the work of the boiler, the limit of time for each heat shall be as follows; For a single furnace one hour and forty-five
 
 fifty minutes; double double furnace, two hours. Time is to be reckoned after the furnace has been charged. Inferior coal, which increases the working time beyond that specified above, shall be considered grievance.
 Among the extras in the new scale are the following: One dollar each extra per ton for dephosphorized iron; for Besse- mer pig. for all castings and runners over seventy-fve pounds in one piece; for all scrap pig metal twenty-five pounds and under when worked alone, for hot ore fix; for cast iron swarth worked on cinder bottom, the price per ton shall be $4. For half wrought iron turnings and half cast iron swartht worked on cinder bottom, the price to be $350 per ton. For wrought iron turn ings. worked on cinder bottom, $2.60 per ton. The price for working turnings to advance and decline in the same pro portion as the boilers scale; busheling on cinder bottom to be one-half the price for boiling; 50 cents per ton extra for all metal boiled, also for swarth and turn ing worked on hot cinder fix. Clauses F, 13 14 and 15 of the old scale remain unchanged.
 It will be some days before the conven- ton agrees on the pudding rate

UNFRAMED INDIANS RESTLESS.
Hon. Oaks Murphy of Arizona Writes to the
 Secretary of War.

Phoenix. Ariz., May 26.-Hon. Oaks Murphy, delegate to congress, has writ ten to the secretary of war that Indians are restless and threatening, and that u feeling of insecurity prevails which con- dition is great injury to Arizona. He urges the importance of strengthening the military at San Carlos and vicinity, and in conclusion says:
 Tt seems orly just and proper that so long as the possibility of danger ex- ists from the untamed Indian that ample and effective protection should be af- forded to life and property. It is my judgmsl.l, however, that no Apache war will ever again occur. especially if an ad- equate military force is maintained at exposed points,"
 and compensation for rights of way through the reservations by the Indians, he states is merely an excnse.
