IRISH ARE UNITED FOR
NATIONAL REFORMS

DUBLIN. Dec. 12-Information
from centers of Irish Nationalism
throughout the country shows that
popular opinion Is united and aggres-
sive in support of the idea that the
party must be sent to Westminster in
February prepared to push the de-
mands for laborer's bill. univer-
sity bill. and, above all. home rule
bill. 1t is not expected that the whole
program can be realized at once, but
people and politicians alike are anx-
ious that the national movement suf-
fer no backset.
English critics have been assuming
that Islands prescriptions with re-
gard to the land bill would preven.
the effective pursuit Of other objects.
The leaders OF the party admit no such
proposition. They declare that apathy
on the part Of the nation concerning
these things which Irishmen esteem
vital would ALLEVIATE the sympathy OF
the Celtic race wherever represented.
While the country proposes to per.
severe In getting the best terms pos
sible from the landlords. at the same
time 1t will organize and agitate for a

STEEL TRUST ECONOMIES.

PITTSBURG, Dec. 12.-Today's con-
ferences between the officials of the
United States Steel corporation and
the heads of the constituent companies
are for the purpose Of settling the de-
tails Of the wage reduction which has
been decided is necessary in view of
the condition OF the steel market
From a reliable source IL is learned
hat the reduction will affect all de-
partments and include managers and
Ill office help as well as the thousands
)f men employed in the mills. In
hose mills employing union men there
s an agreement between the company
md the Amalgamated Association pro-
1ibiting change in wages until the
;greement expires. II Is expected,
however, that the Amalgamated As
ISOLATION will make wage concessions
satisfactory to the company. Should
he association decline to make such
concessions IL is expected that the cor
Doration will meet the difficulty by
closing down the union plants and run
ming the non-union mills which, at re-
luced wages, would be less expensive
to operate.
