communication from correspondent entitled THE

which in the last few have grown unfortunately
too common throughout the country After citing nr.

THE NEW GERMAN TARIFF.
American Trade Is Likely TO he Sc
riousIy Affected.

Berlin, July 26.-The Reichzanzeiger
to-day publishes a. draft of the new
customs tariff law and the customs
rates.
The duty on maize is four marks per
metric hundredweight. without mini
num- rice is four marks per metric
hundredweight; cotton is free; cotton
seed oil in casks will pay 1919, and not
in casks 20 marks per hundredweight.
Raw tobacco will pay SIS marks per
hundredweight, as will the stems of
raw tobacco. Stemmed tobacco leaves
and chewing tobacco will pay $50
marks per hundredweight. Cigars and
cigarettes will pay 270 marks.
The text of the measure appeared
too late for comment in the evening
papers. Opinion in Berlin commercial
circles, however, is that the agricul-
tural schedules are 7monstrous, involv-
ing a great burden for Germanv's g
gether with a serious injury to- for
eign trade. tariff wars and hindrances
to commercial treaties.
Americans in business in Berlin re-
gard the bill as exceedingly bad for
both Germany and the United States
pointing out that the sharp agitation
during the last few years against GER
tain products has borne fruit in the
present bill.
Besides the agricultural schedules
the Americans express keen disap-
pointment at the heavX increases In
machinery. The present duties, rang
ing from 21z to marks per hundred
weight, are in many cases more than
doubled. In the case of saws they are
quadrupled. American woods are also
hard hit.

TO CHECKMATE STRIKERS.
Tube Company Makes PeremptOry
Demand ON It's Skilled Workers to
sign individual Contracts.

Pittsburg. July 26.-The National
Tube Works Company at McKeesport
has made an unexpected move intend
ed to checkmate the Amalgamated AS
sociation. Their skilled workmen have
been asked to sign individual contracts
to practically repudiate any union
labor, and they have been given but
a short time to think the matter over.
1t is understood that should they not
sign the contracts they will find their
positions vacant and the ak is expect
ed to fall tomorrow.
1t transpired to-day that late on
Thursday evening the 600 welders Of
the mills were paid off and then taken
into the Office of the general superin-
tendent, where they were presented
with individual contracts TO be signed
for at least a year. Some demurred
while others signed the contracts.
This movement. fighting fire with
fire. carried CONSERVATION into the
ranks of the strikers. The welders
are highly skilled workmen and with
their cooperation the big plant might
be closed down, With them in line the
plant will probably keep on running as
though nothing had happened.
1t was intimated tonight by friends
of the welders that they would all sign
the contracts.
TO strike Mt MckeespOrt.
A telegram McKeesport late tonight
says:
1t was reported on good authority
In McKeesport tonight that the en-
ployes of the Boston Iron and Steel
Works and the National Rolling Mill
at Mckeesport. both plants of the Ma
tional Tube Company, will come out
on strike tomorrow. 1t is rumorei
in Mckeesport tonight that II the
Boston plant and the National rolling
mill come out the entire plant of the
National Tube Company will follow
their lead and also come out. The
plant employs 5000 men and IL this
force comes out the industries of Nc
Keesport will be practically closed.
Mayor 0'COnneII I'm the Fight.
The following radical statement
comes from Mingo Junction, o., to-
night:
DR.. w. j. o'Connell, mayor of this
town, said to-day:
Il am with the Amalgamated men
in this fight to the end with my head,
my heart. my muscle and my money.
If IL ever comes to the point In this
town the municipal officers will not
stop the Amalgamated men from doing
picket or any other legal acts to keep
men from coming in here and taking
their places"
