WILL DEMAND AN INCREASE.
Meeting of AmalSamnted Association
of Iron and Steel Workers.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 15.-The
twenty-third annual meeting of the Anal
gamated Association Of Iron and Steel
Workers will have an attendance of over
$50 delegates, representing thirty-two
states.
About 200 have arrived. The national
officers decline to discuss the details of the
scale committees report. BY several of
the delegates it is openly stated that while
prices have been steadily advancing, espe-
cialy on structural iron, the scale Of
wages has remained unchanged. and that
this Is not in accordance with the sliding
scale scheme which has been in vogue be-
tween the iron workers and the mill owners
for years. The new scale as recommended
will. 1t is predicted, also carry with 1t a
change which will mean an all-around in
crease Of wage to the puddlers. The whole
advance, as an average, it was stated,
would amount to about 20 per cent.
One of the very important actions to be
taken by the convention will be the ap-
pointment of conference committee
which will include the officers to be elected.
which will meet the operators committee
on July l and settle upon the scale for the
ensuing year.
