WAGES OF STEEL WORKERS.
Mr.. Frick Does Not Believe They Will

BE Raised-Mr. Gray's Views.
NEW YORK, May 7.-Henry c. Frick, of
the Carnegie Steel Company. of Pittsburg
and r. II. y. Gray, secretary and treas
urer of the Illinois Steel Company. of Chi
cago in town. These two gentlemen
represent the largest steel interests in the
country, and the fact that they were to-
gether at the same hotel gave rise to ru-
NOR that they were here for conference
upon the steel business.
Has the demand for steel increased TO
such an extent that the Pennsylvania COM
panies have increased wages. is rumored
by dispatches in the daily press? Mr..
Erick was asked.
Il have noticed no such increase, il there
any companies are going TO raise wages
just at present., was his answer. Later he
said that while business is increasing and
there is a more active demand for rails and
structural iron, the business is not in
condition which he hopes il will attain.
Mr.. Gray, in answer to questions, said:
with our company business has been very
bad, but is improving. and l am in hopes
that we shall have a better year than we
had last Our company has just erected
and has had in operation for the last six
weeks a plate mill which turns out great
many orders. AS far as wages are con-
cerned I think they will be raised, but
think that any statement that they are to
be raised Immediately is premature"

Clagmen Are Needed,

While the collision between an electric
car Aed a hose-cart yesterday afternoon
may have been the cause OF personal
error on the part Of the motorman on the
car. 1t emphasizes the need of greater pre-
caution and more effective arrangements
to- prevent accidents at various points in
the city where rapid-transit car lines inter-
sect. The junction at Ninth street and
Pennsylvania avenue, the crossing at New
York avenue and Fourteenth street and
that at New York avenue and Ninth street
should be equipped with fagn1en to pre-
vent the cars of the various lines from COL
Hiding and causing great damage. At these
points today there is nothing 10 ensure
safety from a disaster except the under
standing between motormer and gripmen
that certain rules of precedence shall be
followed. Some day a mistake such as
might easily be made by men whose minds
are occupied with the business of running
street-ears will result in terrible accident,
and then, doubtless. the f1agmen will be
stationed at these dangerous places. No
other system will afford a guarantee of
safety to the passengers in the cars.

OF a dozen of the most conspicuous of these
properties is a little short Of ninety-four
million dollars, while their market value on
the 1st of October was a trihe over six hun
bred and twenty-four million dollars. But
a sharp reaction came and in q very short
time the market value OF these properties
shrank to one hundred and twenty million
dollars, showing the extreme tenderness of
the stock and its liability to reflect popular
apprehension. 1t is stated on excellent au-
thority that this Kaffir market dominates
the London stock exchange and the Paris
and Berlin bourses, the three great COM
mercial centers of Europe, and, with the
exception of New York. of the world There
is no reason to bewail the fact that the
kafflr fever has so far been confined to the
other side of the Atlantic, for 1t is to be
dreaded. There is no lack of legitimate OBJ
jects of investment for idle capital in this
country, and q speculative craze such as
that which 1t at present booming Kaffir
stocks is a most .unwholesome kind of COM

Sea bubbles were great disasters, but even
the widespread effects of those swindles

the event Of the collapse of the Kaffir boom.

but the almost incredible volume Of money
that has been poured into them by people
OF all classes serves to make shrewd and

stability Of the boom. The investments in

The GrRde Cr0ssinga.

The District Commissioners aimed a hard
blow at the grade-crossing evil when they
adopted their order Saturday compelling all
steam railroad trains to be brought to a
halt before crossing rap!d-transit street-car
lines. The regulation will have a double
effect. and in both ways it will be greatly
beneficial. In the first place the present
danger that confronts, the patrons of the
three largest street-car lines in the city
will be reduced very largely. No longer, if
this order is enforced, will the passengers
on every cable or electric train on Seventh
and Four and-a-half streets in the south
west, and Delaware avenue and First street
in the northeast. be subjected to the peril
of death or manning whenever the tracks
at grade are crossed. And then the effect
OF this order may bring the railroads to
realizing sense of the needs of the hour
They have for years been in the possession
of valuable privileges and secure in the be-
lief that they are so strongly entrenched
that they can never be ousted or compelled
to reform their terminal arrangements But
II they are to be put to the great disad-
vantage of being obliged to bring all trains
to full stop before reaching their stations
they Will perhaps begin to see the economy
OF present expenditure for the installation
OF plant that will avoid all such delaying
necessities. and even permit their trains to
run at increased speed. If necessary
through the city As the street-car and
steam road lines are now laid out it will be
impossible to bring train into the city
without a full halt. From the south, north
east and west all the traffic Is subjected to
this simple but effective rule. If the rail-
read companies will but see the advantage
OF some scheme of track elevation or de-
preston they can soon avoid all complica-
lions and afnoyances. Perhaps the Com
miss'oners might hasten the day of change
by promulgating very proper order COM
polling trains to stop before crossing GER
tain populous thoroughfares, regardless of
tie fact that they are not occupied by
street-car tracks. The roads, it is thought.
will show their contempt for the new rules
at once by deliberately ignoring them, and
then the need will be for a VIGOROUS prose-
cution by the officials of the three street.
