Iron AVurkcira Coiuo to An Atiroomont With Thoir KmployoTH. Voungstown, Aug. 4. The new Am algamated association wage scale was Mgned this afternoon by President. Gar land, of the Amalgamated Association of lion, Steel and Tin Workers, and Secretary James H. Nutt, of the Iron Manufacturers' association. The scale finally agreed upon was In the main as follows: Guide mills, rolling and heating, IS per cent. reduetlo(Wn straight; rough er?. 7',2 per cent, reduction; bar mill heating and rolling, 10 per cent, reduc tion for Iron and 16 per cent, for steel; sheet bar workpo reduction except foi heating, and It Is the same as on bai bill; plate mill rolling and heating, same as before; skelp mill rolling and heating, 10 per cent, reduction; pud dle mill roll hands, no reduction; pud dling, 4 a ton on a 1 cent card rate. The whole scale Is governed by a 1 cent card rate, which means 1 cent pel pou4jrelling price for bar iron. When the selling price of bar iron goes up everybody's wages go up, but wages cannot go any lower than they are now, no matter how low the selling price of liar Iron goes. Altogether the men affected do not consider the new scale as poor for them as it might be, as the 1 cent card rate gives them some protection. "j-atii'iity at a ii!i iihimh. New York, Aug. 1.
