Sept. 12.—Tke wages of over 50,000 workers in the Union fron 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 receiying that amount, 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 coeap con- tracts are now out of the way and Highest of all in Leavening Po Ks val Bo higher prices will prevail. wer.— Latest U Baki Powder ABSOLUTELY PURE
