Gives an Illustration.

Citing an instance for illustration on
this point the official said: "A tonnage
man, We'll say, is running out 100 tons
Of steel a day. We increase the eff
ficiency of his mill, move it a little
faster, and enable him with practically
steel, for which we pay him 10 per
cent. less per ton, but in the total he
will get as much for the 40 tons as
he had been getting for the 100 tons
before. He makes the same wages,
and we get the steel for less cost. We
can then sell for less and do busi-
ness satisfactorily"

Effect on the Tonnage Man.

The day laborer will not be affected,
but every tonnage man will be. The
effect ON the tonnage men, however,
will not be in decreasing his earning
power. but rather by increasing his ton
mage capacity with improved machin-
cry, which will enable him to turn out
an increased amount of finished steel
at less rate per ton, the total being
practically the same as he has always
made.

Columbus, o., Nov. 14.-Manufactu
ers of window glass representing 1898
pots out OF a possible $500 pots met
here and completed plans for organic
ing of the Manufacturers Window
Glass company, which will control the
output Of practically all the window
glass factories in the United States.
The company will be capitalized at ST.
100000. For the present it will be con-
Quoted as selling agency, but the
plans provide for taking over all the
window glass factories later, should it
be deemed expedient
Men Present and Pots Represented.
The meeting was presided over by
President ]. X. Johnston, of Hartford
City, Ind, representing the Federation
Window Glass company; K. w. Hilton
and Thomas p. Welch, of the Ameri-
can Window Glass company, of Pitts
burg, were the secretaries The Amer.
lean Window Glass company. controll-
ing 1,6SS pots, was represented by Pres
ident James A. Chambers and Vice
President William Loeffer, both Of
Pittsburg. The manufacturers of the
Independent Window Glass company
were represented by $50 pots. The
Federation Window Glass company
wasrepresented by Coz pots. Represent
atives of factories not members of any
association of window glass manufa ct
urers had a representation Of Cos pots
making Il total of 3.39S pots.
Combine Controls Everything.
The meeting was harmonious, and
results that for long time were
generally supposed impossible were ac-
complished. One of the important feat
ures of the Manufacturers Window
Glass company is that it will have
control not only of the handmade prod
uct of the American Window Glass
company. but will also control the prod
uct of all their factories in which the
blowing machine is operated. A COM
mittee was appointed to secure New
Jersey charter and to adopt bylaws
and form selling agreement.
Union Labor Joins In the Move.
President Burns, of the L. A 300,
and President John Phillips, Jr., OF the
Window Glass Workers Association of
America, were called into the meeting,
and said that in consideration of the
new company agreeing to the Philadel-
phia wage scale, which means the
highest wages ever paid window glass
workers in the United States to skilled
workers, they pledge themselves and
their organizations to enforce the
scale in all factories, and that no plant
outside the new company would be al
lowed to start before or operate their
plants longer than the time agreed up
on each year by the Manufacturers
Window Glass company.

B|LLETS AND WAGES.
Reduction in the Latter to Have
No Effect on the En-.
pIoye's Income.
so EXPLAINS All IRON MAN
Biilets Must Come Down, but Work
s.Ss men Will Be Helped by
Machinery.

Pittsburg, Nov. 13.lTwo clearly ex-
pressed explanations of the conditions
that are confronting the steel trade of
this country, the one affecting the cur
rent prices and the other the more Sc
rious question of wage reductions were
made by one OF the high officials Of the
Jones K Laughlin Steel company. These
explanations are supplemented and
supported by other steel manufactur-
ers. all of whom have been in close
touch with the recent conferences in
New York, and even prominent in the
debates that have taken place there.
Briefly outlined, the reductions I'm bill
lets and bars were made after the
whole situation was gone over, and it
was scent that the trade would undoubt-
ly be benefited by such change.
Other Prices Are All Right.
In the discussion over the other fin
ished lines of steel. such as plates,
rails, structural shapes, etc, it was
shown that during the past month or
SIX weeks traue ndu SnOWu SUCH
marked signs of Improvement that
there was no occasion for alarm, and
no reason for changing the presen.
prices, which are normal and have been
maintained even when the disposition
to increase them would have met with
no objection by the consumers.
One Thing That Had To Be Faced.
New business coming in is booked at
a close figure, especially with billets at
the new price of S23 ton, and the
manufacturers realize that the present
wage rate is too high for the prices of
material. Wage reduction is unques-
tiOnably matter that has to be faced.
The reduction, which so far as known
has not been fully decided upon, can
be placed approximately at 10 per cent.
this covering the entire pay roll. 1t was
explained that the reduction of 10 per
cent. does not mean a fiat slicing off
of 10 per cent. of the daily wages Of
the employe of a manufacturing con-

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive SO and 100

Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.

An alcohol rub at bedtime will go
far toward breaking up insomnia. Let
the rubber begin with the forehead and
temples of the sleepless one, paying
particular attention to the spine and
back of the neck. Rub the alcohol
gently but firmly into the body, work
ing gradually down to the feet, and
probably the patient will fail asleep
before the rubbing is completed. One
night or even one week of rubbing
would not be likely to bring back per-
manent habits of sound, healthy slum
Der, but each night there is gain to
ward the normal equilibrium Of the
nerves, and month of alcohol rubs
should put one in position to do with
out external helps of any kind.-Bos,

AS is we'll known, Senator Boies
Penrose is intensely loyal to the party
organization, regardless Of his person
al predictions or desires. An anus
ing instance Of this was recently furn-
ished by his colleague, Senator Quay.
Mr.. Quay says that in friendly spirit
of chaff he once intimated to- the junior
senator that he ought to go in more
actively for social honors at the capital
during the season. Furthermore"
added the senator, you ought, my
dear Penrose, to get married. Really,
you ought A senator of your age
ought not to remain unwed. For the
sake of the organization, you should
at once select wife, indeed, your
chances for reelection would be great
ly increased should you marry some
girl who would help you socially
Mr.. Penrose took the matter very
seriously. After moment or two of
deep reflection, he asked quite bland
ly:
ga thing like that really counts?'
''It certainly does," responded his
colleague.
every we'll, Them replied Mr.. Pen
rose; ''let the organization select the
young woman and I'll marry her.

CONSTANTlNOPLE.
1t Has Perhaps the Finest site For 81
City In the World.

ConstantinoDle looks much better
from the water than it does when view
ed ashore The tourist who touches at
the port, remains on board and sees the
city only from the sea retains an en-
tirely different impression from that OF
him who goes ashore. Seen from the
water, Constantinople is very beauti-
full. Seen from the shore, it is the
apotheosi. of everything that is filthy
and foul. | do not say that it is IN
worthy Of visit but | do say that he
who stays on board will take away q
much more picturesque impression.
The site of Constantinople is ideal.
There is probably no finer site for a
city in the world. 1t is situate on the
and the Black seas. 1t lies between Eu-
rope and Asia, for Scutari is part Of
Constantinople, and Scutari is on the
Asiatic shore. 1t is cut off by natural
boundaries into municipal divisions,
for the Golden Horn divides Stamboul,
the Mohammedan, from Galata, the
Christian city So the BosporuS di-
vides Scutari, the Asiatic, from Con-
stantillople, the European, city; yet all
of these places make one great city
under the general name of CONSTANT
nople And this great city is guarded
also by nature. 1t has the sea of Mar
mora close at hand. with Notifications
at either end OF this great water high
way, rendering the city unasSailable
by sea. 1t has a rnninajllar conforma-
ton which ais0-fenlerS it. properly for
titled. impregnable By land as we'll as
by sea- 1t is as if San Francisco were
to have batteries OF heavy artillery all
around her water front. from India
basin to the presido, from the preside
to Lake MERGED and then across the
neck Of the peninsula from Lake Mer-
ced to India basin. With all these fac
tors in it's favor no wonder that Con-
stantinople has always been looked
upon as an ideal site for city. That
so many races should have battled over
Byzantium for so many hundreds of
years is not rprising.-ArgOnaut.

PHOTOGRAPH Paste.

Dissolve half an ounce of hard gela-
tin in three ounces two drains of cold
water until quite soft; then beat until
melted. Now add one ounce six drains
of glycerin. This will set hard and
must be melted on the hob or in hot
water for use. The advantage of this
preparation is that there is no sticki-
ness as with gum, nor does it leave a
stain. 1t is excellent for mounting both
