scale conference with the Western
Sheet and Tin Plate Manufacturers
Association.
The setting of a sliding scale"
wage for workers. one of the Oldest
practices in the industry. first was
suggested in 1865 by the late B. F.
Jones of Jones & Laughlin. After
a base rate is agreed upon at the
annual conference manufacturers sub
nit their selling prices each so days,
and wages are raised or Lowered IN
conformity
Accepted by Most.
The base rate is accepted by most
Of the industry. although Republic
Steel is the only major concern which
now has a contract with the Ama!ga-
mated. This contract does not in
clude all Republic mills.
The conference may last until Sat-
urday II was postponed some time
ago TO permit Tlghe to deal with
the threatened Nationwide strike.
Meanwhile the only report of labor
discord IN the industry has come

Treat Every Man Alike.
I'VE treat every man alike in our

don't care what they do outside the

complaint. I assure them the COM
pany will give prompt consideration
to any charge.
But if they feel like they want
to strike, 1 say let them call strike.
Il am confident the union cannot

STEEL DEMAND ON UPGRADE ON
 PACIFIC COAST
Rising Bookings Felt in h. dustry Due Entirely
 to MIRA

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 30.-De- velopment projects in the Far West created an expanding demand for steel during 1883, final figures on tonnage contracted in major awards disclose.
 Total tonnage in 1883 bookings was 433,307 tons. This was better than 19 per cent increase over 1892, and exceeded the average for the last twelve years by good margin.
 Don Partridge, Associate Editor of Steel, in announcing the figure, said:
 Although the demand for some products was not as heavy as it was in 1882, the steel business generally showed a decided inn provement.
 N. R A.. Helps Business
 This was due almost entirely to the program of the N R. A. and the resultant application of the hot steel code.
 Structural shape awards were the largest in the history Of the Pacific Coast and exceeded by more than 10000 tons the former record set in 1929 of 188,041 tons. The 1883 tonnage was 259,201 tons"
 The largest contract in Western territory for last year, Partridge said, was landed by the Columbia Steel Company in May It involved 144,000 tons for the San Francisco Oakland bridge.

GERMANY REPLIES
TO FRENCH AIDE NOTE
Hints Little Possibility Is Seen
for General Disarmament
Plan, However.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN. February Germany
today made public her reply of jan
uary 19 to the French aide memoir
of January l on the subject of dis
armament.
The reply said Germany was
pleased that France fell in with Ger
many's suggestion of direct diplo-
matte exchanges on the question at
issue between them.
1t said the French aide memoir was
examined dispaSSionately with a view
to determining whether it offers any
practicable possibilities for general
disarmament, but said that these
possibilities did not seem to be given.
Germany said that she. under the
French plan. is Disseminated against
as regards the numerical strength of
her defensive forces and that Ger
many cannot agree to Frances pro-
posals concerning time when the
German Army might be properly
equipped with defensive weapons.
The German reply denied that
Germany desires to build up arma-
mentS and holds that, so long as
others will not reduce their arma-
ments, 1t would be fair for Germany
to have 100000 soldiers on short
term enlistments properly equipped
for defensive purposes.

Communist Congress Gets
Comintern Report
of Progress.
BY the Associated Press.


MOSCOW. February 3-Delegates
to the All-Union Communist Party
Congress cheered today when the
Communist Internationale presented
its report that a world revolution and
victory for communism throughout the
world was approaching.
The report was delivered to the
congress by D. T. Manuilsky, member
of the Executive Committee of the
Communist Internationale. He de-
clared:
The elements of revolutionary
crisis are growing everywhere although
somewhat irregularly,
Cites Strikes and Revolts.
The forces of a proletarian revolu-
ton are increasing. but great major
ity of countries are not yet ripe for
an immediate revolutionary overthrow
of capitalism.
Meanwhile, however, mass strikes
peasants revolts and military rebel
lions are lightning flashes in an elec-
trified atmosphere heralding the COM
ing revolutions.
"Feverish preparations for a new
imperialist war by the world bour-
geoise. its march toward FaScism and
an open terrorist dictatorship give
witness of the bourgeoisie inability to
rule through normal and democratic
methods.
The Communist parties Of the
Third Internationale have attained
uniformity in their ranks which now
cannot be shaken by any power.
Communists in all countries have
learned from Comrade Stain how to
fight and conquer.
Strength in China, Reich.
Under the banner of Marx, En-
gels. Lenin and Stain we will con-
quer in the whole world"
Manuilsky called the Communist
parties in China and Germany the
chief military detachments of the
Communist Internationale" and men,
toned France. Poland and Czecho-
slovakia as among the countries
where the Communist forces have
grown considerably in the last few
years.
The published text of the report
does not mention the United States.
