/ following accouA from New Castle
daily paper, which Of course capnot

licatfon, shows the conditions at .thS
nnt1ls:
Old System Again
+ Starting today, the strike breakers
1T the shenango and New Castle tin
mills are working straight tonnage.
This is the first time the m jill has been
worked in this manner since the
strike was declared and it is. expected
hat many inexperienced men, who
nave been drawing fat salaries, will
resign.
| No guarantee will now be above
and the men in the hot mill depart
nent will be forced to earn every cent
hat is dropped into their pay envel-
pes. When, pay day comes around
many will find that their envelopes
ire pathetically thin.
| In order to offer an incentive for
inexperienced men to go to work and
take the places of the strikers, the
straight tonnage system was cut out
and all were given a guarantee. Each
man was guaranteed $500 pairs a day,
no matter If he made but one hum
dred. In this manner each man Sc
cured fair days wages, although
very few earned it.
Money for {.
Rollers who had er before
touched pair of Ctongs,. and WHO
smashed roll after roll when they
went to work, were paid for $500 a.,
day, equivalent in money to aboutI
sic. The balance cof the crew wag
paid accordingly 6s raw men did
not mind whether they made one
thousand pairs or 10 pairs,-for they
were getting their Big pay enve hopes
Just the same. They were. guaran7<
teed SO much money everyNeigh1 hours
they worked whether they >safqed ~
or whether they earned only Nifty
cents. Some of them didn't earn the
latter, but in order to keep up APP
Dearances, the trust paid these men
wages that skilled men demanded be4<
fore the plant was declared 4 open
shop
That the strike has been costing
the trust fabulous amount is shown
by the fact that they have stricken off
the guarantee and are now paying
the employees only what they earn. b
The union men consider this move
victory as they claim that the strike
breakers are not doing the work else
the, guarantee would be continued
Much Scrap Made.
While some good tin is being made, 4
there is much scrap being turned out
and each day from two to three cars
are shipped away from the plant
This goes to show that great ma
jprity of the tin plate is being spoiled.
Once, it gets to the finishing rooms the 4
raw workmanship on it comes to light
and it is tabooed. r
Union leaders say that many of the
srtike-breakers cannot earn. enough on
straight tonnage to make their work
worth while and as result they will
seek other employment. u

ANTARCTIC TRIP MAY FAIL.
No Funds Now Available for Proposed
Cooperative Expedition.

Washington, Feb. 3.-The proposed CO.
operative expedition by the United States
and the American Museum Of Natural His
and Antarctic oceans in October with the
Fish Commission steamer AlbatroSs will
have to be abandoned unless arrangements
can be made after the appropriations for
1911 are available. This is because of the
disincIination of the Controller of the Treas
ury to advance an opinion as to the dispo-
sition of the appropriation to be made for
that year for the Fish Commission.
The proposed expedition, suggested by
Henry T. Osborn, president Of the museum.
was designed for economic purposes and
scientific research and was not to be in any
sense a rival to the proposed visit to the
South Pole suggested by Commander Peary.
Mr.. Osborn had been told of the existence
of herds of Southern fur seal certain of
the remote islands in that part Of the world
in such numbers as to promise commercial
Importance; that there were at least four
distinct species of whales inhabiting the
Antarctic seas, and in certain localities
herds of sea elephants thrived- Secretary
Nagel, to whom Mr.. Osborns suggestion
came, thought favorably of the expedition
and wrote him that the economic and other
questions outlined appeared TO be most i'm
portant and deserving of consideration, IT
seeming specially desirable If the South
Atlantic and Antarctic fishing grounds were
to be more actively explored that American
fishermen should share largely in them.

be eliminated Mr.. Mead alleged that many
manufacturers thought their business would

affairs to competitors. but President Taft
said that the law did not contemplate this.
He added however. that it was necessary
for the government to have access 10 the
books and papers of corporations, but the
