THE TRADES UNION CONGRESS
Great Gathering of Laboring Men at
the International Conference
at Cardiff, Wales.
TIE AMERICAN DELEGATES
Gompers Says the Trades Union Con-
gress and Federation of Labor will
Compare Favorably with Brit
ish Parliament or Amer
lean Congress.

Cardiff, Wales, Sept. 5.-In the Trades
Union congress to-day Samuel Gompers
and P.J MCGUIRE, who represent the
United States, we're given hearty recep-
tion. President Jenkins, in welcoming
the American delegates, said that, al
though geographically divided, thework-
ers Of America, Great Britain and Ireland
were united on all the important ques-
tions pertaining to the elevation of their
classes.
Mr.. Gompers, in replying to the ad-
dress of President Jenkins, spoke of the
solidarity of feeling and sympathy that
existed among the trades unions of the
countries represented in this congress,
who he said were of one blood and had a
common heritage.
He looked forward to day whom all
the workers speaking the English Ian
guage would unite with the workers of all
countries, who are struggling onward to
the attainment of that end for which the
whole past has been perpetual en-
deavor, with an intensity of purpose that
would insure the accomplishment of
great results.
Mr.. Gompers said that he believed the
British Trades Union congress and the
American Federation of Labor would
compare favorably with the British par
lament or the American congress.

BARON ETER OF TRADE.
Phenomenal Demand for Ir0n-A Big
Advance in Prices and Wages.

Birmingham, Ala, Sept. 5.-The Ten
nessee Coal, Iron & RAILWAY company
yesterday advanced the price of all grades
of southern pig iron so cents on the ton,
owing to the large demand. Following
this the same company posted notices at
their coal mines of an advance of "a
cents per ton in wages to their 5000
coal miners This is the second advance
in the miners wages made by this COM
pany since June l. The first advance
being cents on the ton of coal mined,
and the total raise being equal to about
% per cent. During that time iron has
climbed up $2.25 per ton, and to-day No.
l foundry pig iron is bringing $l0.25 per
ton, the highest price in three years here.
The other mining and furnace companies
in this district are expected to follow up
the action of the Tennessee Coal, Iron &
Railway company with like raises in the
price of iron and the wages of the miners,
as they have done when previous ad-
vances were made, thus increasing the
pay of 10000 men in all. The demand
for southern pig iron is phenomenal.
The furnaces are unable to supply it, and
are, therefore, in position to practically
dictate prices. Alabama iron is being
shipped in large quantities to Pittsburg,
and likewise to Europe and Asia. Prepa-
rations are being made as rapidly as pos
sible to put every idle furnace to work to
keep up with the orders.
The coal miners are likewise putting
out more coal than ever before during the
summer season, and the demand for more
labor continues.

Copper and Lead.

New York, Sept. 5.-The Engineering
and Mining Journals metal market re-
view saypa
The copper market has been quieter
than formerly, but the quotations remain
firm, and no cheap copper is to be had.
It is true, few small lots of second hand
Lake copper were sold at from 1926 @
25, but this is no criterion of the market,
and from first hands certainly nothing
below 12I, if at that, is obtainable.
Electrolytic copper continues to be in
very good demand, but very little is to
be had, and we quote from 1l.S0@B de-
livered.
Prices for casting copper are very firm
at liz toll q, according to brands and
quantity, and no Arizona pig copper is
attainable below 1O1a. The exports have
of late been heavier than was anticipated,
and the August quota shipped to Europe
will represent q round quantity, although
perhaps not up to the average.
from Europe the reports are very en-
couraging. The demand there has been
verygood, and rather high prices have been
paid for all sorts of copper, but especial
ly for the finer grades. Sales of Lake
copper are reported at e54 los. q e55
lOs. and OF electrolytic copper at very
high prices.
Lead has rpther been dull, and few
hundred tons have changed hands at
$3.45, but since then no further pressure
has been experienced, and the market
closes steady at $3.50. good demand
continues to exist in the west, and at the
present rate of consumption decline Is
not anticipated. The European market
has shown great strength, and with large
transactions prices for Spanish lead have
advanced to Ell q Ell Is. 3d., and for
English lead to Ell 2s. Cd. @G11 Be-. Sd.

with Crook edness ana ReOr-
ganiZatiOn Demanded.

Topeka, Sept. 5.-To-day the commits
sion men of the Kansas City stock yards
telegraphed the governor demanding the

tion fee is rake off for the board.
