J INDUSTRIAL OUTLOOK CANNOT FIX WAGES. Power cf th Government Concerning Corporation and Labor. In the course of an addres In Bt. Tniil VDlled States Lntor Commissioner Carroll I. Wright referred to the decision of the In terstate commerce commission In regard to thejustnes of freight rate, nnd said: "The adjustment of difficulties arising between the employes of rallroadi and corporation must rent wpon precisely the tame principle; yet It must bi emphatically understood that the government has no right and no power to fix the rate of wage, li cannot, under any circumstances, tlx the prle of commodities." There le no room for complaint concerning lack of employment In the Wheeling district, llut few workmen are Retting as much for their labor as they were three year ago, bnt wage are picking up slowly as the demand for labor lucreasee, and there is reason to hope that by the first of the yenr nearly all line, especially iron, steel and glass, will be paying almost the old rate. However, tha Increase In wages la coming from higher selling prices, and wnges do not reach the ralea which would have been paid with com ar.odlties eelliug at the tame rate aa three years ago. The call for Iron and steel worker has never been greater than at present. Every mill, furnace and steel plant In Middle Ohio Valley la fully employed, and mnny of them are arranging for Increasing their produc tion at an early date. The Uessemer w orkers are getting the cream of the business, and the furnace men are following rccond. Scarcity of Skilled Workmen, The increasing activity In the Iron and steel trades la developing a scarcity of skilled workmen, saya the Iron Age. 'Ihua far no serious dltbculty has been experienced In se curing the men needed, but the supply la seen to be aieadlly growing smaller, f ewer applications are now being mnde when va cancies are announced or when employora ad vertise tor additions to their force Only few months since the reverse was the case, A manulacturer could then make a selection from on enormous number of men. Nest year, It la apprehended, the lack of a sum (lent supply of good men will be felt quite severely. Especially is tble the case in the line In which a long apprenticeship la essen tial for the development of the practical skill lequired. Coke Strike Ordered. The miners' delegate convention at Scott, dale, fa., passed tbe following resolutions, which declare a general strike.

"Whereat, It has been tbe policy of the men of thla region to have all men receive the advance before any be allowed to work, therefore be it "Kesolved, That any company granting tbe demanda for ail their works be allowed to run at taid advance," They Want an Advance. At Dubois, Pa, Biz hundred Dell, T.ewla A Yates miners held a mass meeting and decided to demand a uniform scale, now, and an advance of S cent a ton, be ginning October 1, with a proportionate ad vance for machine mining.

Corn roae nnd fell In sympathy with wheat, with a little reasor. Good report ot turelgn crop, weakness ot flour In Minnesota and large exports of corn from this country all work against a rise In wheat, though scarcity ot contract grade may help a speculative advance. Pork products have been reasonably yielding, with prospects ot a large crop; but lefore the close bad a stronger tone. The cotton market, lifting and falling a fraction eueh day alternately, shows no settled ten dency, big atocka unbalancing an undoubted, but aa yet nut deOulte, decrease In yield.
