T EFFECTS 10000 MEN

The members of the Amalgamated As sociation of Iron. Steel and Tin Workers have received their first advance in wages since the signing of the new scale last fall. The advance amounts to 121ac per ton and per cent for the finishers. A dispatch from Pittsburg says:
 Secretary John Williams of the Amal- gamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers arrived home last night from Youngstown, where yesterday after noon the bi-monthly wage settlemen of the bar iron scale was completed by the Amalgamated Association officials and Secretary James H. Mutt of the Republic Iron and Steel Company. By the new set clement the puddlers and finishers receive a substantial advance. The pudding rate Is increased from s4.75 to $4. S71a a ton, while the finishers secure an advance of ? per cent.
 This Is the first advance received by the men since the new wage scale went into effect. Some of the Amalgamated As sociation officials expected even a better rate than was secured. 1t having been predicted that the settlement would give d The sale sheets of the company for Janu- ary and February. however, showed that the sales had averaged 1.3 cents for bar iron, as compared with 1.2 the old base, giving the puddlers an advance of 121ac and the flnishers per cent The next bi-monthly settlement, just before the coming national convention.

The assistant president drew a salary of 5000 a year, and his duties, 1t is believed, can all be performed, by the district vice presidents.

UNCLE SAM WILL
 PROTECT CONSUL Vigorous Protest Was Filed With Venezuelan Gov-
 ernment

Washington, March 1S.-The State De- partment, through Minister Loomis, re- gently lodged a most vigorous protest with the Venezuelan government against further interference with MT. Baiz, the United States consular agent at Barce- Iona, Venezela. It knows nothing of the last reported infringement of his liberty, but it Is presumed that the affair Is con nected directly with the troubles which led to the first protest.
 Ignatio M. Baiz Is not a citizen of the United States, a fact that may add to the difficulty which our government will experience in protecting him, as it is determined to do. He was born in St. Thomas and is a Danish citizen so far as is known here, but having an exc quater issued by the Venezuelan govern ment recognizing him as a United States consular agent the State Department has decided that he is entitled to the protec- ton of the United States government
 It appears that he Is engaged in busi- ness and became involved in trouble with Venezuelan militia by resisting an at tempt to honor a forced loan. About a warded it's instructions to Minister Loom- is to represent to the Venezuelan govern ment that these annoying interferences with our officials must cease, but DO far no results have appeared.
