REFUSE TO INVEST
Steel Trust Workmen Object 10 Paylag
$100 a Share, CostIsg So Last Year

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. 13.-There is loud
protest and open revolt among the plants
OF the United States Steel corporation
here over the annual offer OF the big
Steel Trust to take the workmen in as
stockholders.
The proposition which has just been
made is one in which the corporation of
fers to sell the workmen preferred United
states steel at 500 per share. This the
workmen consider by far too high and
many have decided not TO invest.
Since the plan OF distributing stock
among the workmen was put into effect
three years ago this January at little
under the market price then prevailing,
the workmen at the Edgar Thomson steel
works, the Carey blast furnaces, the
homestead and Duduesne steel works, but
more especially at the Braddock plant,
have been the largest subscribers, and
still hold their stock.
They bought stock the first year at SS7 80
per share. The next year, 1904, II went
down to $50 and last year It sold at $50 to
the workmen.
The latter do not see how they could af-
ford To buy the stock at $55 one year and
two years later pay almost double, while
their bonuses and accrued interest rate re-
main the same.
