THE INCREASE LARGE
MANY ACCESsIONs TO THE AMALGA-
MATED ASSOCIATION.
The Order i'm Good Financial COndi-
tiOn-PartiaI Report of the
Wage Committee.

Yesterdays session Of the Amalgamated
Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers
was taken up in hearing reports of the of
ficers. Observation-Disclosures Williams's re-
port took I'D most of the day. 1t shows
that the national treasury is in better
shape than it has been since the associa-
ton was organized. This is due to a liberal
assessment on the members and the small
amount of trouble the association has had.
to absorb the income. There has also been
large increase in membership and the
formation of many new lodges. In the last
year eighty-one new lodges have been or
ganized, representing new membership
of $1,000, bringing the total number of
lodges up to 407. and the total membership
to $1,000. The States that have led in the
increase are Indiana, Pennsylvania and
Ohio, Indiana coming first.
Indiana is regarded as the best organized
State in the Union, considered from the
iron and steel standpoint. There is not a
nonunion mill in the State. Secretary Will
liams paid high tribute to the labor laws
OF Indiana, which. he says, are the best of
any in the United States.
The report of Assistant President Ben I.
DdNlS, WHO Is also eultOT. Ol the AIndlSa-
mated Journal, showed phenomenal
standing of the publication. 1t is only eight
months old and yet it has paid its own run
ming expenses and returned the money that
was borrowed to start ii. The Journal is
the official organ of the association, and
has been Endorsed by the convention.
The reports of the trustees were then
read and those of the eight vice presidents
were referred to the committee on presi-
dents and other officers reports.
a communication was read from New
Castle. Pa, which is trying to secure the
next national convention. The contest for
the next meeting place will be sharp.
Wheeling. w Va, has entered the race
with New Castle PittsEurg, Milwaukee
and Indianapolis.
Before the convention adjourned the
wage committee submitted a partial re-
port. This was relative to some minor
things i'm connection with the constitution.
The work of the committee Is incomplete
and a scale has not yet been made up. IT
was the intention to have the report ready
for this morning. but it will be deferred
till Monday. A liberal increase will be
asked, but the per cent. will not be as
large as has been secured by other labor
organizations, because the association has
not suffered the cuts OF other unions. 1t is
not thought that any settlement will be
made for less than 10 per cent, and it may
range all the way TO 20 per cent. After the
committee reported the convention adj
journed to allow the other committees to
consider what had been turned over to
them.

MANCHESTER, VT, Dec. 10 The case OF
Daniel Brockway, the thrteen-year-o
boy who was injured last Tuesday while
playing in s. l. Griffitl's saw mill in the
mountains eight miles east Of Arlington is
peculiar one. Although piece Of iron
from rapidly revolving shaft struck him
in tina eye passing through that member
and brain and featuring his skull at the
back OF the head, the boy was alive this af-
ternoon. The iron had been the end of a
pipe and was hollow. Before it could be
extracted parts Of the brain came out
through the pipe. Physicians consider the
ease most wonderful one. There Is no
hope for Bvockwsy's recovery.
Col. It ID. Proctor and K 4. Morse o I
the Vermont Marble Company at Proctor
make an unqualified denial of the story
sent out from Rome that their company Is
attempting to purchase the marble works
at Carrara, Italy, for S10,000O00. Two
foremen OF the company, w. E. Higbee and
G. III. Davis are In Europe on pleasure
trip, but they are not on any such errand.
Then again, neither Of these gentlemen
have yet reached Italy.
