NEW WAGE SCALE is SIGNED.
Ama1gamated Association and Iron
Manufacturers Agree.

YOUNGSTOWN, O., Aug. 3.-The new
Amalgamated association wage scale was
signed this afternoon by President Garland
of the Amalgamated Association of Iron.
Steel and Tin Workers and Secretary James
H. Mutt Of the Iron Manufacturers associa-
tion. The scale finally agreed upon was in
the main as follows:
Guide mills rolling and heating Is Der
cent reduction on straight; roughers ~
per cent reduction.
Bar mill heating and rolling. 10 psr cent
reducuon for iron and - per cent for steel
Sheet bar workers. no reduction sxcept for
heating ana ii is the same as on the bar
mill.
Plate mill rolling and heating, same as be-
fore -
skelP mil rolling and heating. 10 per cent
Puddle mill roll hands, no reduction.
Pudding, s. ton on l-cent card rate
The whole scale is governed by l-cent
caro- rate which means cent per pound
selling price for iron. When the selling
price OF bar iron goes up eyerybody's wages
90 up, but wages cannot go any lower than
they are now. no matter how low the selling
price OF bar iron goes. Altogether, the men
affected do not consider the new scale as
poor for them as il might be. as the l-cent
card rate gives them some protection.
The Mahoning Valley Iron company will
put one OF its pu6dle mills into operation
tomorrow morning and some OF the finish
ing mills will 20 on next Monday The
BroWn-Bonnell Iron company's plant will
start next week. 1t was announced by the
other manufacturers that there will not be
much delay before they start up their
plants Although the Union Iron and Steel
company, which has several plants, was not
represented in the conference, ii is under
stood on good authority that they will
slgn the scale and al least put the local
plant IN operation soon.

QUERIES on EASTERN QUESTION
sir Ellis Ashmend Bartlett Objects TO

LONDON, Aug Sin the House OF Com
mons today Sir Ellis AshmeAd Bartlett, con-
servatiye, asked for information regarding
the stage reached in the peace negotiations
between Greece and TURKEY, whereupon the
parliamentary secretary for the foreign Of
fee Mr.. Curzon. referred Sir Ellis to the
statement made by the marquis OF Salisbury
in the House of Lords last evening. Sir
Ellis said he wanted an explanation OF a
portion Of the premiers statement referred
10. This caused the foreign Office repre-
sentative to reply that it was no part Of his
duty to explain the meaning Of the pre-
mier'e speech. Sir Ellis and other members
Of the House then vigorously protested
against being referred to the statements
made in another place. and asked the
speaker If there was any precedent for such
proceedings. The speaker said there had
been precedent for such action during the
present session of Parliament, referring TO
a similar incident early in the session which
led to vehement protests upon the worth Of
the opposition.
