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.

TRADE REVIEW.
A Check to the Iron Boom-Grain Ad
vance.
11. (I, Bun A Co.' weekly review ayt: In
spite ot gold export wheat advanced for
ome day, in all nearly 2 cents, ninlnly be-
cnuse a single speculator bought, but on Fri
day tell about 1 cent. 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.
Tbe surprising Increase in production and
advance lu prleea of Iron seem to be bringing
a natural check, aa prleea have gone ao high
