IRON STRIKE ON.
Work on Camp Block Will Be

MEN WANT HIGHER WAGES.

 New Haven, Sept 9.-The members of the Bridge and Iron Structural Workers union in Connecticut have de- cided to go on strike unless the com panies employing them accede to de mands which were presented three months ago. These demands called for a wage scale of 40 cents an hour and a working day of nine hours. At pres ent the scale is from 30 to 35 cents an hour.
 A meeting of representatives of the union from Waterbury, Ansonia, Bridgeport, Hartford, Derby and New Britain was held last evening, and 1t was voted to call out all the bridge and iron structural workers in the state if the demands were not granted before l o'clock this afternoon. The union has a membership of 290 and it is esti- mated that the helpers will bring the total up to 400. Three companies, tue Berlin Iron Bridge Go, the Pennsyl- vania Steel Go and the American Bridge Go, are involved. It is said the demands bear harder on the Berlin Co llan on lne others as the latter already operate under nine-hour schedule.
 As a preliminary step to the carrying into effect of the above order in case such action should be necessary, the eight employees of the American Bridge Go on the Camp building on Bank street informed Foreman Berry this morning that there was likelihood of their quiIIing work this afternoon. The rain would have knocked them off anyway, but the demands had not been acceded to at 1 o'clock this af- tern0on so that rain or shine the men would not nave been at work. The companies are said to show dispos1- ton to make fight against the de mands of the union, but it is thought that after a little reflection they will see the folly of such a course. Fore man Berry said that he had no idea when the difference would be adjust ed. It takes in all the steel companies and it would be difficult to tell at this lllne WHdL tHey may ueSiue ueSiue ~ oo. 1s strike does not affect work on the other buildings about the center, the iron used in them being bought by the contractors who are putting 1t in themselves 1t blocks operations on the Chase Rolling mills where force of men belonging to the Berlin Con- struction Go were at work. All quit at o'clock.
 The men want 40 cents an hour for a nine hour day. At present the prices range from $2.75 to $3.75 for nine hour day. The men are firm and if the companies refuse to come to terms the strike threatens to be long drawn and will seriously interfere with building all over the country The companies have considerable work pn hand in Connecticut.

 Tn reply to a question, the governor said he had no appointment to meet coal operators or any of their represen- tatives in this city.

 Governor Stone also said that he had no appointment here with either Senator Platt or Governor Odell. When he was questioned about the situation in Wilkesbarre, and as to whether he intended to send more troops there, he replied that he had nothing to say.

For ENLARGED Pores

II takes patience, persistence and
time to cure enlarged pores. They are
caused by an over-secretiOn of seba-
ceous oil in the tiny glands of the
skin. which hardens and distends
them. Even after this condition is
overcome the pores are stretched and
give the skin a coarse grained appear
ance. The face should be bathed in
hot water every night-water which
has been boiled to soften it. Pure soap
and a Turkish wash-cloth should be
used and also a pinch of borax. The
face should then be thoroughly rinsed
and then rubbed, upward, until in a
glow. A camels hair complexion brush
used with the soap or a rubber COM
plexion brush used afterwards will
greatly hasten the process of refining
the texture Of the skin. A little cologne
or bay rum will be of help, diluted one
half with water to slightly astringe
the enlarged pores. A teaspoonful OF
simple tincture of benzoin in a glass
of soft water or rose-water is also use
full.

Prostrate fall at once before her. just
as if each mad adorer
Were a helpless human tenpin. and

She has faults and follies. many; vir-

She will sigh when you are merry
she will smile when you make

She could love poor man-never! On
