cultural department shows the aver
age condition of cotton on July 25 to

on June 25; ~ on July 25, 1901; Is

THE PROPOSITION REJECTED.
American TinpIate Co. Employees
Vote Against a ReductiOn-A Num-
Der OF Mills viii Shut Down.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 5.-The prop
osition made by the American Tin
plate Go. to its employees that they ac-
cept a reduction in wages of 2j per
cent. has been rejected The vote,
which has been in progress for sew
eral weeks, was tabulated Monday.
The proposition was thoroughly un-
derstood by the workers, it having
been explained that in order to Sc
cure foreign trade and a big contract
with the Standard Oil Co., amounting
to about 100000 boxes, the general
wage reduction would not be more
than 31@ per cent, and that the pro
duction would be increased fully 16ie
per cent. which would increase the
earnings to the workers about ~.
1t is understood that while the ma
jority of the men would work at a
slight reduction in order to secure
more employment, most of them are
Welshmen, and are friendly to their
fellow workmen across the ocean. If
the proposition ad been accepted the
tin plate workers IN Wales would be
deprived Of employment. This fact
influenced many TO vote against ac-
ceptiug the offer.
Inc American Tinplate Co. will now
be unable to Sc, I"e this increased
business, and, as stocks are large, it
win close a number of its plants. The
largest in the world, the Shenango
works, at New Castle, has been shut
down indefinitely, and several in In
diana have closed. The two works at
New Kensington are also idle. All the
non-union plants of the company are
