TIN-PLAl WORKERS WIN.
They Secure Advance in Wages ana
Further Concession.

PITTSBURG PA, July S.-The skilled
tin-plate workers identified with the
Amalgamated Association Of Iron and
Steel-Workers scored a decisive victory
to-day. They secured an advance in
wages and a protective clause that the
tin-plase mills will not manufacture sheet
iron. The workers are iubilant and look
unon the future with hope. as II Is claim
ga the signing of the remaining scales
of the association is but question OF
time
The conference between the Scale com
mittee and a committee Of manufacturers
adjourned this morning, after having
been In session two days. The workers
wanted an advance of IS per cent, when
the manufacturers were not inclined 10
give. A readjustment was made, when
would give the workers an average ad-
vance Of about so per cent. AFTER con
siderable discussion the workers agreed
10 the proposition, provided the manu-
facturers signing the scale would agree
10 give them a protective clause guaran-
teeing that the tin-plate mills would not
manufacture sheet iron. IN the event OF
the market for tin being depressed. The
proposition was agreed TO, and both sides
adiourned. apparently we'll satisfied The
settlement means much TO the workers.

The death of Professor Fresenlus at
Wiesbaden on the 10th of June has at
tracted scarcely the briefest of obituary
notices in the United States. and yet this
man occupied the h CHEST position as a
chemist Thirty years ago there was no
book OF Analytical chemistry that did
not have references TO his methods. Ere
senius was born In 1918 and studied at
Bonn and Giessen. AT Giessen he became
Liebig's ass slant. Certainly, with Llebg,
Freserlus shared the honors Of having
raised agricultural chemistry to a science.
What ne did was 20 give proper di-
rectlon to the study of akalimetry and
acidlmetry. Before him the exact char
acters of mineral waters may be said TO
have been unknown. On a vast number
OF topics he was the one great authority.
In this country. in many laboratory. the
service OF Fresenus rendered 10 chemis-
