Edwin Oould. ttret vle-prssllnt of
h !nirnatkinal Brotherhood of
Teamsters, said In discussing the sit
uation:
'The agreement which provided that
there ibould be no dlacrlmlnatlon
agalnat union men and alao for a fixed
win achedule and abolition of the
Sunday work la being violated right
and left "
"Not only la It violated In all aa
aentlal featurea, but aome employera
are trying to get their driver to sign
Individual agreements repudiating the
union." ,
Prealdent McCarthy, of the truck
ownera' aaaoolatlon, admitted that there
may be employera paying leas than
the prescribed scale, but be aaaerted
that thla showed that the union could
not control Its men.
A succeaafut teamaters' strike would

IRON HIOHE8T FOR YEAR.
Stooks Were Muoh Reduced by Sale
Lett Month.
Cleveland, Oct. 10. The Increased
actltvlty In ths Iron market which
tarted with October has kept up and
the past week has seen ths hlgheet
Prompt
prices of the year. Consumption has
been overlapping production for sev
eral week and while smelters of pig
Iron bought In the market, particu
larly foundries,' find no marked Increase
of i orders, they are steadily molting
more iron thnn In the summer months.
The statlatlcs Indicate that pig Iron
output on October 1 was at a rate of
about 16,000,000 tons a yeur, while In
March, April and May, the spring
"freshet" carried It up to a rate of
18,000,000 tons, I'lg Iron production
Is now on Its second upturn for the
year and the extent of the movement
depends upon several factors. One Is
ths uncertainty of the coal strike In
the south. Anothr Is the amount of
Idle capacity that will come In as
prices. The advance has not been
enough yet for blowing In of furnaces
that have been waiting for real
profit But the Important fact Is that
merchant stocks of pig Iron were re
duced 76,000 tons last month with coal
and coke production 17S tons more
than In August
It would seem that too much has
been made of the marking up of south
ern Iron to 1 10.60 for No. foundry, and
to 111 by some producers. With lit
tle or no Iron selling at these prices
they are scarcely more significant than
the 112 price named In early 1902 by
oversold producers who had no Iron
to sell at any price. Northern foundry
Irons have advanced, however, In the
past week on actual sales, and ths mln
Imum for No. 2 foundry Is now f 12 at
furnace and $12.60 Is now asked. The
steel rail situation Is a waiting one.
Manufacturers cits the well-maintain
ed freight rates of the carriers as an
Important element In the problem of
rati prices tor next year, while 224
Is a commonly discussed price, icon
anions in ths next few weks may
fix $S0, or even S2S, as the basis.
While real requirements for the next
year are expected to be far beyond
that of 1904 standard, standard sections
are dull, though light rail business Is
good.
