Oo-LREPl

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 22.-Here in the
every citadel of the great steel indus
try of the United StateS-an industry
so highly protected that it is able to
make an enormous profit while selling
its product TO foreigners at a reduction
of nearly one-third of the home price
one does not have to go far to find
evidence of the fact that a stupendous
effort is being made TO make
show of ahOunding pros
perity out of precariOus con-
dition of affairs. Everybody knows
that the steel industry. and particularly
in so far as it concerns the United
States Steel corporation, has had a
very bad year. Yet republican agen-
ciCs are diligently circulating the re-
port among the laboring element that
after election another period of high
wages and booming business will be en-
tered upon.
PittShuTg was the most vitally al
fvCted district last year IN the 80 per
cent reduction in the salaries of en-
ployes of the steel company amount
ing to a total of $4o. 100000 n year. \
reduction of 20 per cent in the wages
of still another class of the employees
amounting to an economy of SSS,OO0,-
600. When to this fact is added the
closing down and the reduction of
output in considerable number Of
the mills OF the trust, it is but natu-
raj that the employees should wonder
why it is that the high tariff for which
they have voted that their wages might
be kept up above the standard Of those
paid in Europe. should not produce
/ even permanent employment.
1t should be stated here that in 1903
the Homestead Steel company closed
/ down its mills for several months,
( throwing 1000 men into idle
mess. Seven hundred men were af'
Ifected by the closing down of the Tin
Plate plant in Pittsburg. The Cambria
Steel company reduced the working
time Of its force, and 1900 men suf
| fered a reduction of wages. The
IShenangO works and the Carnegie Stee
company was closed down for several
months. and the Pittsburg works OF the
Tin and Sheet Plate company at New
Kensington were closed for foul
months. throwing all OF the workmer
of both plants out Of employment.

a deafening exchange of shots for sew

trigger of his weapon as rapidly as
possible.
During the excitement Vaughn at

and assist Rose and Blair. Boyle and
James. however, dubbed their re
