1t was stated that they had come

Will Make Better Rails.

P1TTSBURG, Oct. 2.-The United
States Steel corporation and the other
concerns in the country engaged in
the production of steel rails will
spend q sum estimated at $780,.
100000 in earring out their plans
changing their plants from the Bes-
semer to the open hearth process.
Work already has begun on this task
and many of the new style furnaces
are expected to be in operation before
spring.
This change, it is said, hasbeen de-
cided upon in anticipation of the find
ing of investig ators appointed by the
national railway commission to in
quire into the causes of railroad
wrecks throughout the country, which
reports that in many cases the crash
could be blamed on the small percent
age of iron contained in the Bessemer
process rails.

Consumers Pay The Cost.

CHICAGO, Oct. 5.-The inquiry into
causes for the rise in the of meats has
elected many explanations from stock
yards experte, but the most unique of
them all was laid before United States
Attorney Sims today when an attor.
ney for one of the biggest concerns
declared the increased cost is due to
the increase of government inspectors
and other ''useless labor" His
opinion is:
"The meat industry has been loaded
down with SO many inspectors, examin-
ers, commissioners. and other par.
asitic function aries that in order to
meet the tax laid on meats, the pack
ers are forced to charge more.
Every additional measure for the
protection of the public in the pro.
vision of petty officials whose salaries
must be paid out of the sale Of meats,
adds to the consumers burden. The
packer can protect himself by raising
the prices, and be is left no choice but
to add the increased expense to his
prices,n

Will Not Reduce Wages.

BUTTE, Oct. s. Notwithstanding
reports to the contrary, the wages OF
miners in the Butte district will be
paid for the present under the high
scale prev ailing since the recent
agreements between the unions and
the operating companies were signed.
Under that contract the miners were
to receive 81 a DAY so long as the
price Of copper remained at Is cents a
pound or higher: under that figure,
the wages we're to be reduced to the
former scale of $3.50 a day. Notices
have been sent to the various unions
employed in the mining and smelling
industry in Butte that for the present
there would be change of wages, al.
though it is we'll known that the price
of copper is below ls cents.
John Gillie, general superintendent
of the Amalgamated properties, has
addressed q letter to the Miners un-
ion and to other interested organiza.
tions stating that owing to the uncer.
tain price OF copper, the companies in
control of the Amalgamated Copper
would not reduce wages at the present
time. 1t is understood that this notice
was sent so that the company would
not waive its rights under the con.
tracts with the unions.

Is thus made to serve the purpose of a
bucket. 1t is like long narrow pail

Witnesses testified that In China,

tries the big trust, by fair means or
foul, smashed all competition and
through threats and intimid atious
brought ruin to ell who sought to
deal in the commodities which the
trust was engaged in bartering.
Phillip Harrison of the New York
Lubricating company, made the fol.
lowing statement on the stand:
1.-THE Standards big stick drove US
from the South African business, aud
we were compelled not only to get out
of the field but to buy oil of the trust
to supply contracts which we had made
for ourselves. We were not allowed
to settle up our business, but had to
quit in post haste andIbuy oil for our
customers.
1.-THE Standard Oil notified the ship
lines that they must lower the rates Of
the trust and raise the rates for us or
the Standard would build ships Of its
own and cut all transportation rates,
