CUT In STEEL WAGES
ACTION BY L4CK4WANNA.
Other Com pauies Nay FolIoz0 Buf-
faI0 Concern.

Reports from Buralo yesterday that the Laekas
wanna Steel Company had made cut in the wages
Of its employees at the works there were confirmed
in this city by E a. s Clarke. president Of the
company. MI Clarke said that the reductions
affected only the Buffalo works.
Common labor. Mr.. Clarke said had been reduced
from II to u cents an hour and the wages Of ths
other employees had been cut, on an average 10
per cent. with the exception OF the tonnage men
The latter he stated. because OF the small volume
Of operations, were already working under sub
stsntiaI reductions
Rumors that. following the reduction in wages.
the price OF steel rails. which has been maintained
at s2S a ton. would also come down were denied
by Mr.. Clarke. he said that the improved rails
demanded by the railroads were more expensive
to make than the Old rails, and that they could
not be sold at profit any cheaper than at pres
II is believed that the reduction in wages an
nounced yesterday by the Lackawanua Steel COM
pany will be followed soon by similar action on
the part OF other independent companies. and pos
sibiy by the United States Steel Corporation. Of
hcers Of several of the leading independent COM
paries said that reductions were under considera-
ton In the steel trade it is believed that reduc-
tons in wages viii soon become general and that
the employees Of the Steel Corporation will not
escape Ex-Judge Gary stated a few days ago
that with a few exceptions the Steel Corporation
had no agreements with its employees that would
interfere with reduction in wages. and this Is
said 10 be true of most Of the large independents
It is the general opinion in steel circles that.
barring the possibility Of strikes, lower wages viii
be the rule long as the price war continues.
unless there is material Improvement IN business
10 send prices up asain- So far little business
has resulted from the drastic reductions that havs
been made in the prices of finished steel products.
Notwithstanding the aggressive campaign that mas
been carried on by the sales agents of the COM
panies since the open market for steel was de-
cared
The copper metal market continues to show i'm
pr0veueEt- and the belief prevails that the weakness
IN the metal is all over and that from a
gradual rise in prices will take place. Within the
last few days II is estimated that transactions have
involved in the neighborhOcd OF sixty million
pounds Of copper. at average price Of 12s cents
pound The bulk of these purchases has been
for European account, and little Of the metal 10
IS said has been sold in this country recently.
some Of the leading producers reported yesterday,
however, that they had received large number
OF inquiries from domestic consumers All Of the
large producers are now asking 13 cents for cleo
trolytc copper, and it is not believed that any
sales will be made below that figure.
