Cincinnati. Brpl 23 —Th* conference
committee* of Ihe AinaUaniatnl Assoc la
-of Iron ami Steel Worker* and of the
manufacturer* t if o'lo.k thl* mom.
tnv signed the wage arale that will be
rff*cllvr until July. IMO.
It la what la known a* Ihe yearly scale,
which take* effect usually In July. Owing
to the unusun! fluctuations of the market
the new arale hml not been signed when
the mtlla shut down June 30. and the con
ditions have been unfavorable ever tinea
June, ao that Ihe mills have been Idle for
almost three months.
As aoon as the wage scale was sign**)
this morning, messages were sent In every
direction before the conferrees breakfast
ed. ordering Ihe fires built at once. Some
mills will atari at on* and others a- soon
as possible. This derision means employ
men I to-morrow to over Mr.UMi working
men who have been Idle situ* June.
In endeavoring to arrive t this agree
ment the Wage Conferem* Committee of
the Amalgamated Association of Iron and
Meet Workers has had five different oon
ferences with the manufacturers, meeting
Id New York. Detroit. Indianapolis and
Youngstown us well as here. They have
been in conference here since Wednesday
and dstermlned last night to alt until they
got together or agreed to disagree. While
neither side got what It wanted, yet hoah
sides felt relieved when the scale was
signed after an all-nlghi session and mu*t
of the nonferreea left without sleep, so as
to he at the mills Monday morning
Pres Idem Schaefer. Secretary Williams
and others remained to arrange some de
ta Is with Commissioner Nutt and they re
tired about S o'clock this morning, but the
others did their sleeping on the trains ett
route to their home*
CaaiiHi of the Relay.
The reasons for del a y In adjust ing the
wage scale, as well as for the frequent
prolonged conferences are found In the
slump In the market and the fluctuations
during the past year from the highest to
tbs lowest price The workers wanted IS
per ton htis and on a one and four-tenth*
card rate. The manufacturers offered
II id per ton nil a one cent card rate for
tudltng and the differences were tn about
the same proportion as In other lines
President Schaefer and Commissioner
Nutt Jointly gave out the following state
ment to-day:
The rate for boiling is ft 75 per ton h**-
i I upon a one-rent card, with the same
! isls running up to one and two-tenth,
for the rard rate, or 11.2 h. But the price
for ladling for September and O. toiler
shall be $5 per ton. based on a card rate
of one and one and four-tenths cents.
Muck rolling shall be one-seventh of
the price paid for boiling.
"Bushellng on sand bottom shall he 12 08
on a one-cent card rate with the aamc
hate running up to one and two-tenths,
ird rate.”
The following scale was fitted for the
hnlshlng mills:
On bar mills Ihe price to be paid Is ths
■me as last year, with a card rate of
1 4-10 cents, graded down to a 1-cent car t

Washington Srpt 23 —Two men who at

and Germany In the absence of Count
Os ssin I and Dr. von llolltben. the ambas
sadors reapectivrly of the Cxar and the
German Ktni.ror. the Interest# of thane
two governments are looked .after by
m*n. who In personal appearance may be
said It* Im- as relatively In*lgnlttcant an
th* govern men is they represent are great.
Both are men of distinctive individual
ity. both men of distinctive personality,
both men of distinct ability, but If either
ever took a prise In a beauty show, it
must have been In the days of their
swaddling clothes.
With the Interests, or perhaps It I*
more correct to say the policies, of their
guVeiiiiitniiH, In some degree opposed,
• here has been a constant play for po
sition at the American foreign office be
tween i|r. DeWoiiant. the charge and af
faires of th** Russian embassy and Baron
Hpck von Bternbutg. the charg* of the
German embassy Both men are in their
ordinary official capacities first secreta
ries of their respective rmbafiki. and
Baron von Hternburg Is al# counselor of
lgar on They are men trained In the arts
of diplomacy as these are taught In the
Rue-tan and German schorls, and both,
therefore, to hold their own with tha
train and diplomatist# of th* world
During the past few* week#, these men
have been so often at the fltat# Impart
mens on various mysterious missions that
"Eddie” the 'vmfidentbil messenger of the
department.lnclines to the belief that they
arc engaged In a little game all to them
selves of seeing which can score oftenest
But It |m a pretty safe hei that neither tha
Russian nor the German charge ha# trod
the marble corridors of the south hall of
the big building unless h* has had busi
ness to attend to An effort to keep up
with the very changeable policy of this
government during this Chinese crisis
would, of course, keep any man busy—but
that Is a ques*ion for discussion by critics

ing one about as much of a clrcua rider
or o tight-rope walker who has donned
street attire with the idea of dlsrohlng

The proverbial beauty of German offi

hold good a-lth regard to the diplomatic
corps. Instead of the tall, handsome and

ture of this costume Is a blue claw-ham
mer coat, with brass buttons, which re -
mindw one more of the eoslume affected
by American statesmen forty or fifty years
ago than of anything else Of course,
there are knee breeches and silken hose
and all that, but Mr. DeWollant Is nof
a t>eautlfiil thing to look upon, even when
the occasion calls for ihe most glaring
