day a significant action in view Of the
complication existing between the Anal
gamated association and the American
Sheet Steel company, another part Of the
big steel combine.
SHEET STEEL STRIKE.
There were no Developments today in
the strike situation of the steel sheet
and hoop workers. Neither Of the COM
bines affected has seemingly made any
attempt to break the solid front of the
men at any Of the union plants. They
still announce that mills not running tn s
week are shut down for repairs A pri-
vate telegram from Youngstown, received
in this city last night, stated that the
American Steel Hoop company Will 90
direct to the men at its union plants in
Girard, Youngstown, Warren, Greenvills
and Pomeroy today, with the demand
that they return to work next Monday at
the scale figures asked by the association.
No word of such action has been received
at strike headquarters, however
President Shaffer, of the Amalgama.e d
association, stated this morning that he
had called upon officers of the indepen-
dent sheet plants in rtf renee to the
recent cut In prices made by the sheet
combine and they all agreed with him
that the reduction was made to keep the
Independent concerns out of the market
IF they persist In this" said he, 81
will writ IND
dent people next year and arrange scale
with them"
When asked If he expected any deWel-
opments soon, he said: 'I expect to ge.
into communication with the combine
people before the close of the day. They
called for men by long distance tele-
phone yesterday, but when l reached the
office I was unable to get them. I am
to call them UP today and there may be
some results"
When seen later, President Shaffer SCI
the telephone interview with the CON-
ibine officials had been unsatisfactory on
account of the wire conditions and was
barren of results. The signatures of the
Kansas City Bolt & Nut company If
Sheffield, Mo-, and Phillips, Nimick & Co
of the Sligo mills, this city, to the ANAL
gamated scale were received at headquar-
ters today.
The advisory board Of the Anal gamat ed
association has been called to meet at
the national headquarters on Saturday,
at which time action likely will be taken
that will assist the striking workmen tC

Secretary NJ. F. Tighe. Business Manager
Benjamin I. Davis, of the Amalgamated
Journal, and the trustees, John Pierce
John H. Morgan and Elias Jenkins None
Of the members of the board will make
any prediction as to what will be done
at this meeting, but from the sentiments
expressed by some of them, there will

THE ESSENTIAL principle Of the fat rat

THE ESSENTIAL principle Of the fat rate In

level with every other advertiser in the same
class. The fiat rate which charges to the pur.
chaser OF one inch no more for that inch than
It charges per inch TO the purchaser Of 6,000 or

THIS application Of the fat rate preserves its
essential principle but recognizes the proper di-
ference between a retail and a wholesale trade.
In every line of business the large purchaser re.

he should have 1t, for the economy to the seller

|NHE FRANCHISE proposition
submitted to councils by
N the incorporators of the
new street railway company
appears fair on its face except in Sec
ton s. which defines the amount ana
method of it's taxation.
The companys proposition is, two
years exemption from taxation three
years payment of one-half of one per
cent. of gross receipts and every year
thereafter one per cent of gross re-
ceipts, this tax to be lin lieu of any
and all forms of city taxation which
is now or may hereafter be in force"
1t is true that this presents a more
equitable basis Of taxation than is in
force with respect TO the Scranton
Railway company, whose only tax
contribution To the city in return for
franchises capitalized at millions and
police protection worth thousands, 10 Il
pole tax yielding about $500 year.
But it will, we think, ne generally
conceded that the Scranton Railway
company is under-taXed. The PROPOSE
tion to impose upon it a tax of five
per cent of gross earnings as soon as
this can be done legally has the sup
port of a public sentiment that is in
no way disposed to be cOnfiscatory,
but that is fully determined upon
making this public service corporation
pay its just share of the costs of local
government, even though, in order to
do that. it may have to squeeze some
of the water out Of its inordinate
capitalization.
\ new company seeking PRIVILEGES

that voluntary offer 10 the city for
Inferior franchises of more than the
city gets out OF the present company,
10 which it has made sweeping grants,
should entitle 1t to public favor; but
the city's remissness in the one in
stance should prompt II to be doubly
exactiug In the other. Nor should
councils ever waive its right to i'm
pose other forms Of taxation than that

Going Too Fast.

"\HE MAYOR has issued notice
of an apportionment of ward
representation "in pursu-
ance of the Act of June 8.
1896" The Act of 1895 does not pro-
vide method of fixing apportionment,
that having been already provided in
the Act of 1891 as follows:
Hereafter the ratio of representation in com.
mon council in cities Of the second class shall he
Fixed and determined as follows: In the month of
July preceding the ncNtiCgular municipal election,
after the passage Of this act and every fourth
year thereafter, the members of common councils
shall be apportioned in the following manner: II
shall be the duty OF the assessors of each ward to
return, under oath, true and exact return Of
resident taXahlcs, to the president of the common
council on or before the first day OF July in each
year, when an apportonmcnt is to be made, and
at the first meeting Of the councils thereafter
Joint committee Of five, two from the select and
three from the common council. shall be appoint.
ed who shall examine the said returns and divide
the whole number Of taxables by forty. The quo.
tont shall be the ratio OF representation for mem.
bers Of the common council providing that
should any ward have an excess of three.ffths
more than the ratio of taxables it shall be en-.
titled TO an additional member; and provided fur.
thor, that each ward shall have at least one mem.
ber of common council.
Since Scranton has become officially
a city of the second class, no return
of taXables has been made to the pres
ident Of common council and no joint
committee of five has been appointed
to hold an examination of such return:
hence no valid apportionment has been
arrived at. The mayors schedule of
ward representation is correct mathe-
matically but it has, so far as careful
inquiry can discover, no binding force
in law. If accepted as a basis of ward
election the new members thus chosen
would come into common council with
questionable credentials and if seated
would involve the city i'm risk of hav-
ing all legislation in which they might
participate attacked in the courts.
The action of the Democratic COM
moners in refusing to attend regu-
larly called meeting Of their branch of
councils, so that the plain intent of the
act of 1891 might be carried out
promptly in good faith, is indefensibe,
is provocation to partisan retaliation
and is doubtless factor in prompting
the mayor to proceed on his own re-
sponsiblity. But two wrongs seldom
make a right. The right and safe
course to pursue is to obey the law.
The law distinctly says how apportion-
ment shall be made. To try to make
It in a manner not legally contem-
plated is to make haste insecurely.
Life Imprisonment for the Paterson
wretches is a penalty that fits the
crime. Now let public opinion bar the
door against a mawkish pardon.
