Tin in 1918

Tin is one of the few highly useful
metals that are practically not pro-
duced in the United States proper
The output of tin from domestic ore
in 1918 was only 6S tons, nearly all of
it obtained from placers in Alaska.
The tin imported in 1918, as metal
and in concentrates, amounted to
s2.so4 short tons, the largest quantity.
vet brought into the country in anv
one year
Deposits Of tin ore are found in
California. Virginia. North Carolina.
south Carolina. South Dakota, Wash
ington. Nevada. and New Mexico. but
the ore at some Of them contains 50
little tin that it cannot be mined with
profit.
Tin concentrates from Bolivia was
handled. at four tin-smelting plants
in this country, which produced from
1t 10000 tons OF metallic tin.
A report on tin in 1918. by Adolpb

Rev. Mr.. Phelps Of Wats-viIe Speaks
on Subject, Going Sone," to Good
Sized Audience Of Men ard Boys
There was fine attendance at the
first of n series Of mems and boys
meetings held Sunday afternoon at
the Assembly hall of the Y. NJ C. A
building and a talk, straight to the
point was given by Rev. Arthur S.
Phelps, pastor of the Waterville Bap-
tist church, on the subject. Going
Some Rev. Mr.. Phelps, who at the
convention Of the United Baptists of
Maine held last week in this city
was elected its president for the en-
suing year. is most interesting and
forceful speaker and at the meeting
yesterday afternoon he illustrated
many of his points with witty stories
which were appreciated by ALL
The meeting was presided over by
Mr.. Tracy, the new boys work sec
retary. Mrs. Arthur S. Merrill was
pianist, and Rev. Mr.. Philbrook, who
can do good turn with the flute, also
accompanied the mems singing.
Prayer was offered by Mr.. Merrill.
Rev. Mr. Phelps stated that the
letters Y. M. c. A. might we'll stand
for you Must Conquer Always" He
showed that a man may be going
some" both going up and down, but
the great trouble in the going down
is that it involves others. A life of
dissipation is the kind of life that
ends in the scrap heap.
That it is easy to criticize the great
institutions that are trying to help
in conditions. the speaker pointed
out and also stated that the man who
wants to do good in the world wants
to link himself with the roots of good
things. People do not always count
on the strength Of their enemies and
man are always faced by that great
enemy. temptation. Gods army is
not made up of moral towards and
the man who has the courage Of his
convictions will come out for God by
doing his bit in the church and the
Y. M. c. a. and other Christian Or
ganizations.

rep ii # Which appeared i'll Satur-
DAY. .T,urnal,. the foil owing is
statement of the Hod Cares union:
The merlre!s cf the Augusta Hod
Carriers Local Union, No. 158. feel
that in the report of the strike as
published in the kennebec Journal If
81. urday gives to the public a wrong
inlprc.'.ion without come further en-
p,aEations. The article in question
does not outline the grievances Of the
union, and the members feel that they
have a just and reasonable excuse for
Str king at the present time.
The members OF the union regret
that the strike carries in it's wake
rctardinS of building projects in the
cities mentioned. but they co not feel
that tho blame should be placed upon
the union. TIE contractors should.
at least, bea: part. as there are
two sides to every question.
Long before tie strike took place,
in ample time for the contractors to
have given the question much con-
sideration, they were duly notified
that for all new work taken after
Sept l. 1919 the members Of the union
would demand 65 cents an hour. IT
should be horne in mind that this
rate does not apply to contracts taken
taken after that date.
The contractors refused to accede
to this demand. But. further than
this. the contractor absolutely re-
fused to meet tie members Of the
union for a conference on the matter.
We went so far as to offer to COM
promise and to arbitrate. but the
contractors refused TO do either.
They refused to recognize the union
in any of their deliberations.
There was left for the members Il
the union to do but to strike. 1t was
the only logical outcome. 1t is un-
derstcod that the contractors were
not averse to having the strike pro-
jectcd. believing that it would eX
cite the public sympathy in their di-
rection. With this idea evidently IN
view, they put to work on each Of
the contracting jobs non-union work.
men, q circumstance which they
knew would soon precipitate strike.
Only last summer the mason tend
ers worked for wage as low as So Il
day, and for two and a half years,
long after the wage scale had gone
up in other cities in Maine and New
England. the Augusta workmen
were only receiving $3.50 a day, al
though it is true. We did have an ad-
vance later to $40 a day which is
the present wage scale. and, at that, !
the contractors are now making from
so cents to s1.20 man. The reason
the mason tenders in Bangor and
Waterville are receiving lower wages !
is because they are not unionized.
The members of the union feel that |
in requesting the present raise in !,
wage scale they are not asking any
thing extraordinary. 1t is in keep
ing with the wage scale in many
other places and in harmony with the |
present unusual conditions in the in |
dustrial field. We feel that, in justice
to the Hod Carriers union, this gen.
eral statement of existing conditions
should be made.
