WAGES ADVANCED.
Twenty-Five Thousand Carnegie Em-
pIoyes Receive the Good News.


ployes Receive the Good News.
Twenty-Five thousand employees Of the
Carnegie Steel company, Limited, and asso-
ciated interests Wednesday received the
cheering Information that from June their
wages would be advanced 10 per cent.
The advance includes all the employees Mt
the various Carnegie works, and is made not
wthstanding the contracts now existing be-
tween the company and It's employees.
The action was unexpected, as 1t had been
intimated that the company would insist on
the observance OF the contracts entered into
with the workmen at the beginning OF the
year, but the change will be, nevertheless,
welcomed.
A meeting Of tho Board OF Managers was
held Saturday. at which the demands OF the
Edgar Thompson furnace workers for the
restoration OF the wage scale Of 1894 was
given consideration.
AT the conclusion of the meeting It was
stated that no change Of the present wage
reconsidered and the following notices posted
by order OF Chairman H. G. Frick, Of the
Board OF Managers. at the works OF the COM
pany in Homestead. Braddock, Plttsburg,
Duquesne aud Beaver Falls.
This notice will send 10y TO the hearts Of
the thousands Of workmen md their families
who are dependent upon this big concern for
living:
NOTICE.
Notwithstanding the existing contracts be-
tween the Carnegie Steel cU.ipany, limited,
and Its employees, fixing the rates OF wages
for 1895, this association has decided that the
present business outlook will justify higher
rates, and accordingly take pleasure In noti-
flying its employees at the Edgar Thompson
Steel works, Duquesne Steel works, Home
stead Steel works, Lucy furnaces, Keystone
Bridge works Upper aud Lower Union mills
and Beaver Falls mills, that from June 1,
1895, and until further notice the scale rates
paid to all tonnage and turn men will be In
creased 10 per cent this without prejudice
to the 1895 wages contracts still In force
This Is the most important and extensive
wage advance made In the iron and steel In
dustries. The Carnegie company employees
In the establishments named number about
25,OO0 hands, almost every one of whom are
fully employed.

so FAR 1T IS WELL.
But Workmen Must Remain Patient q
Little while Longer.

Little while Longer.
In commenting on the movement among
the iron and steel workers in branches, the
American Manufacturer says
''This movement seems to have come oil at
once and II has been something Of u surprise
10 those who months ago failed to notice the
shadow OF coming events. When the linan-
cial depression was at its worst, the Ameri-
can Manufacturer, In noting the frequent
wage reductions, expressed the opinion that
line would soon have to bo drawn on the
cutting process. The necessity for reducing
cost OF production during such a time was
plain enough, but subsequent events have
shown that such move may be pushed too
far. The wages Of the workmen were cut to
an unreasonable figure, and the profits OF the
employer disappeared entirely in the effort
to secure and hold trade. Everything was
given to the consumer with but little result
other than q lessened volume OF trade and
lowering prices. II Is estimated that not
only workmen, but large number Of en-
ployers also are favorable to an advance In
wages. The employers who hold that opinion
understand the best interests of oil. and know
that too low prices OF either labor or pro-
duct are an injury to the entire trade.
The only fear is that In many lines the
workers will get into feversh haste for
higher rates, and may push things SO far as
to injure their own prospects. This can
easily be avoided. Labor has been forced
to exercise patience for So long that 1t should
be able to hold on while longer. Values
are coming up throughout the entire country,
and a material advance in the price of labor
Is merely question Of time. Higher wages,
higher prices. more activity and increased
consumption will drive away the clouds that
have lowered over the business interests Of
the country during the past two years. These
conditions can be reached without any con-
flict between labor and capital II little COM
mon sense and patience are used.

With Novel Enects.

On a Sunday morning not so very
long ago, the congregation of q Lon.
don church were surprised at certain
queer strange music coming from the
organ. The organist felt annoyed as
well as astonished, for the effects were
such as he had not intended. After
service, he obtained screwdriver and
took out one Of the sides of the organ.
Then cries Of "Mew! meww seemed to
proceed from the inside of the instru-
ment and further search led to the
discovery Of black-and-white cat
crouching at the foot of one of the large
pipes. As soon as she was set free the
cat rushed from the church, and har-
mony and peace were restored at the
next musical service.

Not the Same Genesis.

A German Hebrew professor had Eve
daughters, whom the students called
Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers
and Deuteronomy. One day the profess
sor began his lecture by saying
Gentlemen, wish to speak to you
to-day about the age of Genesis"
which remark was greeted with a
burst Of feet scuffing and general
smile on the part Of the class.
The professor, thinking that his SUBJ
ject was being appreciated, continued,
with still firmer note in his voice
"Genesis is not so old as some Of you
suppose"
This was greeted with such a burst
of merriment that the professor had
plenty of time, before 1t quieted down,
to think what should be his next re-
mark. And this, after all, was not so
wide Of the matter.
