Another Advance in Wages.

The United States Steel corpora
ton has announced another ad-
vance in the wages of its employees
amounting to ten per cent effective
May 1st. Both together represent
a total increase in wage payment of
between SEQ, 900, 900 and $50, 600, =
900.
In view of the continuance of
prosperous conditions, read a
statement issued by Judge Ebert
H. Gary, chairman of the corpora
ton, after meeting of the finance
committee, it has been decided to
make an advance in wage rates of
our iron and steel companies about
10 per cent, to take effect May 1st. "
1t is estimated in Duluth that the
increase will add nearly 81 900, 600
to the wages disbursed to miners
and railroad men during the active
mining season. More than u 900
employees of the Oliver Iron Min
ing company and 5000 men en-
ployed by the Duluth, Missabe &,
Northern and Duluth & Iron Range
railroad will be affected.
Last January the corporation vol
unfairly increased the wage roll 10
per cent, so that its employees in
this districs are now benehtting to
the extent of an increase of 20 per
cent over the scale of wages paid
them last year.
The benefits conferred will fur
thermore be on a larger scale than
now indicated in view of the fact
that additional men are being taken
on almost every day, both by the
Oliver Iron Mining company and
by the two railroads, and opera

Max 6. Jeffris Nominated as Candi-
date for United States Senate at
Madison Convention.

In one of the most harmonious
conventions that has ever as
sembled in Wisconsin for political
dellberation, Max G.. Jeffris, of
Janesville. was nominated as re-
publican andidate for the United

NAL one, Jeffris received 65 votes;
Whitehead. "a; Hudnall, II and
McGovern |.
Following his nomination Mr..
Jefris spoke for nearly an hour and
declared that while he disliked to
attack the policy of President Will
son, he characterized his Mexican
policy as shameful" and in con-
clusion said that with the people of
the United States their American
ism transcribed any feeling for a
foreign nation. He was for a rea-
sonable program of preparedness.
Following the speech of Mr.. Jeff
ris, Senator Whitehead spoke. He
praised the business ability of Mr..
Jeffris and said that what was need
ed in politics for a seat in the Unit
ed States senate was a real busi-
nessman. ." He declared that Mr..
Jeffris was a thorough business
man. He told his audience that
what was needed in the state today
was leader in every voting pre-
cinct of the state, who would see to
it that the correct message got to
the people. He urged organization
in favor of Mr.. Jeffris.
Gov. Philip told the convention
that little later there would be
convention to select candidates for
state office. He said that if this
state wanted to send republican
to the United States senate it should
send real republican; if it wanted
to send a democrat it should send
a real democrat, and if the people
wanted to have a socialist senator
to send a real socialist, but they
should not send a man who pre-
tended to be combination of all
three.
Gov. Philip spoke for tariff pro-
lection; for a merchant marine and
and in favor of reasonable prepar-
edness. The convention adjourned
at O'Clock.
