BIG PAY FOR STEEL WORKERS
Some Workmen In the Industry Draw
a. High as $500
Month.

oungstown.-1Iigher wages than
ever known before In the steel industry
are being paid workers In local steel
mills. Some workmen make rs much
as $500 monthly. This Is due to the
sliding scale of wages, based on the
selling prices Of steel, for sheet and
tin plate workmen under the Anal
gamated association ruling.
Tremendous profits followed In the
wake of the declaration Of the Euro
pean war. The highest wages go to
the .'rollers." Heaters, roughers and
other workmen receive corresponding
~ high wages.
II is not uncommon for laborers to
get from s12 to SIS day. In some
cases, from s. to Sc daily is made by
unskilled workmen after few weeks
experience.

"This is far ahead of what we had
