SYLVAN STEEL MILL IDLE
Men Demand Adoption of AmaIga mate ed
Association Scale.

Association Scale.
AS briefly stated in THE ARGUS of
last evening, the Sylvan steel mill did
not start up Yesterday as the company
had expected to do when it shut down
last Friday. The mill will remain idle
until the new wage scale is agreed
upon for the next year, the old con-
tract having expired July 1.
The men demand that the scale
adopted be that of the Amalga-
mated association of Iron aud Steel
Workers instead of the compromise
scale under which they have been
working. They refuse to return to
work until it is adopted and the mill
is idle.
Monday a committee waited upon
Supt. c. E. White, presenting the de-
mand that the Amaigamated scale be
adopted here as it is in other mills
owned by the Republic Iron and Steel
company. Mr.. White told the men
that he would report to the head
officials and would notify the men of
the reply.
The new scale will affect only the
skilled workingmen. giving raise of
about % per cent in the wages of
heaters. roughers and rollers. In
some cases reduction is made.
The men demand that the new scale
be adopted not SO much for the change
in wages as to bring the Sylvan mill
under the union scale. For this same
reason the company may be reluctant
in acquiescing.

The Burlington Election,

Burlington city has seen several excit
ing political contests, but that of Tuesday
surpassed all former occurrences. The
fact that the election Of a %freeholdel
would settle the political complexion o.
the Board lent additional interest to thu
affair.
Both parties were on the alert and the
workers kept going steadily all day. The
Republican candidate for mayor had made
suggestions for the government of the
city which he promised to carry into eff
feet if he should be elected. This created
a fear in the minds of some hat they
might be compelled to respect the law t.
a greater extent than formerly. Conse
quently that class banded together tt
down Mr.. Churchman and they succeeded
re-electing Mayor McNeal by 1872 majority
The Democrats also elected three out Of
four members of council, although there
is a possibility of a contest over the seat o.
Samuel w. Semple, whose majority in the
first ward was only seven.
The practices resorted to in that ward
demand the fullest investigation. 1t il
said there were 90 voters transferred from
the third ward into the first on election
day. One of these men was arrested il
the evening on a charge of assault anC
battery and before starting for the Jail he
requested the officer to go with him to his
home in the third ward to get his clothes
Another point needing investigation is the
counting for the Democratic candidate
tickets bearing the nam of John Crook
for an office which he was not running for
This was clearly a marked ballot and
would change the result very materially

was fought until the close Of the polls

The bill at Keith's Theatre, Philadel-
phia, this week is offered almost entirely
for laughing purposes, and judging by the
names on the program, it will fulfill its
purpose. At the head are the Russow
midgets, who are as popular as any com
edy team in vaudeville. Some of the best
l~aughmakers before the public are of the
dwarf variety, and these are among the
best of this class. These Liliputian ath-
letes give an act unlike any other now on
the boards. Their speciality is highly en-
joyable to young and old. The boxing
match will again be a feature of their
turn. Charlie Russow will don a dress
and a wig and will give an imitation of
Anna Held singing won't you come and
play wiz me-" He will also render a
''coon" song. They are respectively 81
and % years of age, weigh 25 and 80 lbs.
and are 243 and 274 inches in height.
They are next to the youngest in a family
of sixteen children, all the others being
of ordinary stature. II is safe to say that
no two comedies acted in Philadelphia this
season have provoked more laughter than
will be elected by Thomas J.. Ryan and
Mary Richfield, Dixon Bowers and Dix
on, Jessie Couthoui, C. w. Littlefield and
Riley and Hughes. These performers
have hitherto convulsed local theatre
goers. Jessie Couthoui has been for years
one of the most popular of the Lyceum
entertainers and Mr.. Littlefield's work is
well-known. In Musical Dale the pro
gram will contain one of the best instru-
mentalists in vaudeville. The Phasey
Troupe, eight attractive English girls,
who scored a hit last week, will present
new songs and dances. The biograph's
dozen films will include a view of the
Windsor hotel, New York, ruins, taken
the day after the fire.
