THE INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION
Mr.. Schaifer Tells About the Iron and Steel
Workers Does Not Believe Trusts

Washington, Sept. %, - Theodore
Schatfer, of Pittsburgh, president of
the Amalgamated Association of Iron
and Steel Workers, was a witness be.
fore the industrial committee Satur.
day He said that about 70 per cent.
Of the iron, steel and tin workers were
organized. After 1899 the iron work
ers suffered 80 per cent reduction Of
wages, the steel workers 10 per cent.
and the tin workers % per cent, but
since the recent prosperity began the
wages have been almost leveled up by
advances. The trade was now more
prosperous than it had ever been, but
the wages were not quite as high as in
1892.
Asked about trusts, Mr., Schaffer
said he had much respect for them and
he would not call them trusts

As a general rule he said he believed
the members of his organization would
prefer to deal with combinations and
large corporations than with the
smaller independent mills. He believed

lated by congressional enactment,
strikes could be avoided. In his ex.
perience he had always had fair treat.

ANTI-IMPERIALIST LEAGUE.


Boston, Sept. 22.-The Anti-Imperi
alist league yesterday issued the fol
lowing:
Unauthorized statements having been madt
as to the objects Of the anti-imperialst confer.
ence In Chicago October n, 1t should be sait
that there will be no attempt there at negotla'
ton with any political party. 1t Is hoped thai
this conference may plan for systematic effort
to establish anti-imperialist leagues and CON-
mittees throughout the country with the in
tention Of developing and crystallizng the OPP
position to the presidents policy.
1t is true that In doing this the anti-imperal-
lists must denounce Mr.. Mckinley Individually
because he unlawfully initiated the slaughter In
the Philippines by his declaration of war De-
cember u, 1873, ut q time when the United
States was solemnly bound by the protocol to
preserve the status quo.
1t simplifes our efforts that because of this
impregnable fact neither the country nor any
political party in 1t is responsible for Mr.. Nc
Kinley's war or Is In any way bound to support
it. The anti -imperialists hope to arouse their
fellow-citzens to the gravity of the issue which
has been forced upon the people, so that no can
didate for the next presidency can expect sue
cess unless he disavows the colonial and imper-
ial acts which have actuated Mr.. Mckinley ind
his pernicious advisers,
