This scale provides for n minimum

When iron goes above that price the
wages were TO be kent ON q slIdiny

The Sloss Iron and Steel Company
gave its answer to-day that they could
not confer with the convention. as
their miners had never instructed the
company whether the convention was
authorized TO make contract for them
or not. The Tennessee Coal and IRON
company has offered to renew the pres
ent contract for another year. with tho
exception that they wanted n rnaxinum

THE CUP DEFENDER.
THE COLUMBIA SCHEDULED TO
SAIL TODAY

Bristol, Il. l., June 23.-Work on the
Columbia is progressing favorably. The
big steel boom on which the men have
been hard q work for the past few days
was completed this morning, and both
the boom and the gaif We're in position
by noon The sails. however, have not
yet been bent. 1t is now thought that
all the work on the Columbia can be
completed during to-day and early to-
morrow and that nothing Will interfere
with her sailing Saturday afternoon.
The new boom and gaff OF the CO.
lumbia are painted n color resembling
that OF the wooden mast. 1t is difficult
to tell that they are steel spars a short
distance away. The steel boom ana gaff
are fine looking spars. The boom eX-
tends beyond the stern good distance.
The new steel mast for the Columbia
will be similar to that on the Defender,
whose mast served as pattern.
