nail il that ii cannot stand the weather
- the wrought iron nail does. This =
partly caused BY the acid used "a an
healing the wire before it Is drawn,
which cannot be thoroughly cIeansed
on. The fact that steel contains more
carbon than wrought iron also tends
to corrode it. The government made
series of tests in Watervliet arsenal
years ago, when wire nails were gain
ing public favor, to ascertain the adj
hesive qualities of wire and cut nails.
The cut nail proved to be so per cent.
more adhesive when driven into wood
than wire nails, but the wire nail had
gained such Roadway that the tests
were not given serious consideration,
and the bright and cheaper wire nail
soon shut up almost every cut nail fac
tory in the country.
Contractors and builders have no
idea of giving up the wire nail for the
cut nail, however. The carpenter lay
ing floors or driving weather boards
can drive wire nails too handily to re-
turn to the cut nail unless specifica-
lions require it. The demands for cut
nails is coming exclusively from agri-
cultural sections. The farmers are in
earnest, however, and to overcome
thier prejudice, the big steel wire COM
bine has had a special nail made with
an extraordinarily large head and gal
yanized all over. These are guaran-
teed to outlast any nail in existence,
but their introduction is proving slow.

AGAINST WIRE NAILS.
An Outcry From the Farmers-The
Objection to Them.

An Outcry From the Farmers-The
Objection to Them.
PITTSBURG, Pa, March 13.-The
industry of making cut nails from iron
and steel is being revived. 1t had al
most ceased, owing to the introduction
of the steel wire nail. Here and there
factories are springing up to make cut
nails. The few shops that were run
ming in a dead sort of way are increas-
ing their working hours, adding new
machinery, and shops are being en-
larged.
The increased demand is caused by
the fact that shingles that have been
fastened on barn roofs in the past ten
years with wire nails are blowing off.
The farmers are raising big hubbub
over their loss, and, judging from their
comments, the fields are covered with
flying shingles. In contrasting their
experience with that of their fore
fathers, who used wrought-iron cut
nails, they say that shingles fastened
with the old cut nail remained on the
roof until the shingles rotted; whereas,
with the steel wire nail, the shingles
blow off after ten years.
The main trouble with the steel wire

the proprietors. The latter were ia

rests were the result of the agitation
against disorderly resorts, which has
lately stirred the city. The crusade
began with the suppression of the

A FAIR PROPOSITION

From the b. q o. Railroad, Accepted
by shop Hands Mt Cumberland.
Special to the Register.
BALTIMORE, Nd, March 13.-The
request for increase in vases made ny
the machinists employed Dy the b. &
o. at Cumberland has not been set
tied A proposition has teen made by
the B. & O.. which is being investigat-
ed by officials of that Company and a
Committee appointed by the machin-
lists.
A number of erroneous statements
in regard to the incidents have been
printed. 1t was stated at headquarters
yesterday that the Company had not
made a proposition and had later
withdrawn it, nor have the men gone
on strike.
When the application or increased
compensation was first made. the en-
ployes were informed that the Com
pany would pay the Cumberland ma
chinists the same rate of wages as
paid by other locomotive shops Of SIM
liar capacity for doing work of SIM
liar nature. The Company offered the
Committee transportation to visit the
different shops and ascertain the exact
conditions in order to form schedule
of wages. The men at first were in
clined to stand on their original de-
'mand, and there was some talk Of
strike, but they were informed that If
they were not in the humor of illves-
tigating the matter thoroughly ami
treat the Company on the proper basis,
any of them who left their work would
not be taken into the service again. A
meeting was held and it was decided
to accept the Company's offer and
transportation was furnished the Com
mittee to visit the Pennsylvania shops
at Altoona and other points, and the
Chesapeake & Ohio shops at Rich
mond and Clifton Forge.
The Companys attitude in the mat
ter, as explained by one of the officials
yesterday, is to secure from the other
railroad companys rates Of wages
paid for similar employment, and If
the B. & o. has lower rates raise
them to their figures, but if tie 4. &
o. is paying more than on other lines.
not to reduce the wages.

Senate Republicans Unable to Come
to an Understanding ON the PORTO
Rfcan Tariff.
WASHINGTON, March 3.-The Re-
publican Senators were in caucus for
two and one-half hours on the Puerto
Rican bill this afternoon and at 8
o'clock adjourned until o'clock to-
morrow, when the discussion will be
renewed. No vote was taken upon
any of the various propositions laid
before the caucus, but as a result of
the caucus talk, the impression pre-
vailed that there was a great deal of
opposition to the bill, which OPPOSE
ton, if it was not placated, might en-
danger its passage. 1t was also ap-
parent that a number of other Sena-
tors thought the legislation was ill-ad-
vised, but while opposed to the bill,
nevertheless would vote for 1t as a
party measure.
Deep feeling was displayed over the
question by a number of senators, and
especially by those of the Middle
West, some of whom did not hesitate
to affirm that any effort to place tar
1T upon the exchange of business
between the United States and Puerto
Rico probably would have an injuri-
Gus effect upon the Republican party
in those states.
