Democrats Gain d in Congress.
WASHINGTON, Nov. :.


President Roosevelt's appeal for a
Republican congress was not in vain.
With the count still going ON, the re-
suit so far shows the election OF PA
Republican congressman, l51 Demo
Gratis, with twenty districts to be heard
from. There are 386 seats to be filled
in the house, and should the Demo
Gratis get the remaining fifteen they
would still not have the control
The most sanguine prediction put
out by Chairman Sherman previous 70
the election was that the Republicans
would retain control of the house by
fifty
As the returns stand now the Demo
Gratis have gained twenty -four districts
held in the present congress by Repub
hcans as follows:
Illinois, , Indiana, l Iowa, /: Mis-
souri,. 4 Nebraska, l New Jersey, 81
New York, /; North Carolina, 1; Ohio,

Gently removed. a top course OF fine
material will next be applied, which
will fix this section of Bloom street
up in fine shape.
The upper section of Bloom street
that was reconstructed with cinder
has been much improved through the
painstakirg effort of the street COM
missioner. All the chunks of cinder
have been removed, so that the street
as a general thing each side OF the
track is tolerahly smooth and affords
fairly good driving.
One of the chief difficulties with
Bloom street at that point lies in the
fact that the space on each side Of the
trolley track is too narrow, while the
deep bitches add to the danger and in
convenience of driving. No matter
how much labor and expense is put on
the roadway the street so long as these
conditions exist will always be open
to objection. Sooner or later some
thing will have to be done and coun-
Gil might as we'll take up the matter

Advances Wages. ES

The Reading Irons company yesterday
morning made an announcement that
will fill the hearts Of all iron workers
with JOY. The announcement, which
simultaneously with this article ap
pears in the Reading and probably
few other newspapers, state that the
wage schedules now in force in the
Reading Iron company are being revis-
ed and a general advance will shortly
be made in all its departments.
Recently, the announcement con-
tinues, the prices of some of the prod
ucts of the Reading Iron company
have advanced, and wages will be
equaliZed and adjusted to conform to
the improved market conditions. The
tube works, blast furnaces, rolling
mills, foundrIes and machine shops
will all be included in the advance
The exact date of the advance and
what per cent. will be granted is not
stated in the announcement How it
will affect puddling-whether it will
meet the specific demands made by the
puddlers, pending fuller and more def
mite information. is matter for con
lecture 1t is stated, however, that
the advance will be general, affecting
all departments. The advance is in
line with the policy OF the Reading
people and follows an advance Of ten
per cent recently granted to all the
employees of the Reading railway com
pany.
1t is scarcely to be doubted that the
advance announced will bring the lab
or difficulties existing at the big mill
in this city to an end All of which
constitutes the very best of news not
only for the iron workers of our town
but also for our business men and cit
liens in general. The big mill has
been closed since June. Up to the
present the outlook has been dark and
unpromising and no one would have
been surprised if the big plant would
have remained idle all winter The
brighter prospects coming now as they
do on the eve of winter will be hailed
