Decision Cautiously Worded.
fBy Associated Press.)

ATLANTA, GA. June 26.-The
Geogia Railroad strike arbitration
board tonight decided against the
seniority of white bremen over ne
grocs. The arbitrators. however.

pert negro ffremen.
The arbitration board was composed
of Hillary A. Herbert, OF Alabama.
representing the Georgia Railroad
Company: Representative Thomas
Hardwick. of Georgia. representing
the firemen, and Chancellor Davis e.
Barrow, of the Georgia University. a.
umpire.
Decision worded cvardediy.
Their decision was worded guard
eddy and did not in any case deal d.
rectly with the race problem Their
most direct reference to the seniority
problem was In the words: I'VE nEd
against proposition c."
This proposition read: "All Aremen

The award made the pay OF DegrS
firenen equal to that OF whites. The
negroes have been receiving from
about 20 to SO cents per day less than
whites.
Files Dissenting Opinion.
Mr.. Hardwick. in dissenting opn-
ion. said: 'In SO far as the finding
permits the continued experiment OF
negro firemen, dissent because | be-

experiment is a menace to the safety
of the public In so far as the finding

Iieving that such requirement. by re-
moving the principal incentive to their
employment will result In the speedy
elimination of this cheaper labor ana

IRON OUTPUT.

The Iron Age" says:
The full reports from the steel
makers show that their make of pig
iron beats all records, having been
1881, 991 gross tons in August, as
compared with 1,514,521 tons made
in October, 1907, just before the
panic. Their production has risen
from a daily rate of $4,000 tons in
January to 51,354 tons in August.
In the meantime the output of the
merchant furnaces has fiuctuated
since January within the narrow
range of 10000 tons per day and 22,-
600 tons per day, having been 21,-
113 tons per day in August. While
this does not take in account the
recent reduction in the stock of pig
paratively slowly the merchant fur
nances have recovered.
1.-THE markets for crude and finish
ed iron and steel are firm and in
some instances buoyant, but the
conservative element in the trade is
beginning to bring forward argu-
ments in favor of caution and mod
Grafton. Prices are reaching a point
where importations are possible. At
such exposed sections like the Pa
cific coast sales of. foreign finished
material have already been made.
An interesting fact is that a large
Pacific coast steamship interest has
purchased SO, tons of Chinese pig
iron and has already placed a con-
siderable part thereof with sme1ters
on the Pacific coast for forward de-

livery. Domestic prices on bars and
shapes are reaching a level at Allan
tic and Gulf ports which, with the
new rates of duty, are very close to
the importing point. What foreign
makers a do in the way of low
prices is shown by a sale of a round
lot of German beams and channels at
Buenos Aires at 5 pound and 2
shillings per gross tons.
Recent rail sales are not numer-
Gus or important, but it is under
stood that negotiations involving
large quantities are in progress.
THE structural trade has not been
particularly active lately and east of
the Alleghenies competition has
grown somewhat keen lately, among
~fabricators. With lessened oppor-
tunities for securing work in the west
f%abricators in the central west are
seeking an outlet in the eastern terri
tory. An INJURY is in the market for
four rolling lift bridges for the Cape
Cod canal.
1.-The material for the three lake
boats placed last week has been
ordered and to this there was added
$4,000 tons of plates and shapes for
four lake Fighters for ore interests
for which the contract has just been
placed with the American Shipbuild-
ing Co. The cessation of the strike
at the~Plant of the Pressed Steel Car
Co. will bring upon the plate mill a
volume of specifications long held in
allegiance.
"Pittsburg makers of merchant
iron pipe have announced an adj
vance of 81 per ton, while the mills
making shafting have put up the
price SO per ton.
"The minimum price in steel bars
is now LAOS. Pittsburg and a lead
ing interest is 10 taking contracts
for delivery through the first quarter
of next year at that price. There is
some disposition to make slightly
higher prices OF structural material
and plates, for the first quarter"
