Wages Going np
Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 12. The
wages of over 50,000 workers in the
Union Iron Mills of the country for
September and October has been
fixed by representatives of the Mer
chants' Bar association of Iron and
Steel Workers. The settlement gives
all employes in the finishing depart
ments an advance of 2 per cent. The
rate for puddling is put at $4.25 un
der the adjustment, but as they are
already receiving that amoutt, the
puddlers will not enjoy an advaace.
At the next- bi monthly settlement
wages of both the puddlers and fin
ishers will go up at least 4 per cent
more. The workers will be benefit
ed by every advance made in the sell
ing price. The cause of only 2 per
cent being made at this time was
due to the fact that many low priced
contracts were filled during July
and August. All these cheap con
tracts are now out of the way and
higher prices will prevail.
