Fa., April 1. The bitter warfare which has been carried by the United States Steel corporation to the Independent Wkers of iron and steel and the consequent booking of a vast amount orf business by the cor poration at greatly reduced rates yea terday resulted in the wholesale an nouncement or cuts in wages by the independents. At least 25,000' workmen in western Pennsylvania arnd eastern Ohio will be affected by the policies of a straight 10 per cent cut in wages which have been posted, effective today. The immense Jones & Laughlin interests, in announcing Its cult last evening blames everything on the proposed tariff tem pering at Washington. The following official statement has been made pub uc from the ofBces of the Jones & Laughlin Steel company. "On account of the depression in business due to the fear of a reduction in the tariff, it has become necessary to cut down expenses in every direction. To meet present prices a reduction in wages is unavoidable. The readjustment will be effective April 1." The Jones & Laughlin interests, which are the laogest in competition with the corporation, when running full employ about 9,000. The bitterness of members of the firm against the tarifT reduction, particularly the part of Mr. CarnegJe has taken in the matter, was apparent some time since, when Mr. "Willis King of the Jones & Laughlin company appeared before the ways and means committee at Washington and made caustic comment as to the knowledge of present Iron and steel conditions held by Mr. Carnegie.

County op non in Wisconsin received its death blow in the senate branch of the legis lature today when after a lengthy debate the bill was deefated by a vote of 17 to 11. senator uaylord, who is a minister and a social democratic member from Milwaukee, made a forceful speech on posing the bill. Baying that if the worklngmen had not had the saloon and saloon hall to go to, the social demo cratic party would not have been or ganized in Milwaukee. ir. president," he said, "I have stood in the pulpit and at the end of the bar. I am free to confess that coma speaK more freely at the bar than in the pulpit." Senator Fairchlld of Milwaukee, who has been ill for several weeks, was carried into the capital to vote against the bill. ues Aioines, ia., April 1. Constitutional prohibition for the state of Iowa is thought to have been postponed for two years, if not defeated permanently, by the action of the states senate this afternoon, in effect voting down a motion to take up the question. The vote stood 26 against to 21 for. Senator Proudfoot of Warren county today had made a motion ordering from committee the submission resolution. Adams ot ayette moved to lay the Proudfoot motion on the table. DOCK COUP HITS PALMER ESTATE A coup.executed by Chicago business men which means a monopoly of the lake front dockage when the new outer harbor plans are realized, and may also mean tnat tne Fotter Palmer estate made a bad investment last Tuesday, was revealed today. T l . . i , , wiis leai-nea mac ine jr'almer estate bought $1,000,00 worth of land in Indiana Harbor two days ago with a view to making it a great harbor and connecting with Chicago by the Belt Line railroad. Andrew McAnsh, secre tary of the Chicago Lighterage, company, freely admitted the coup and de clared that the dock company charter is perpetual. The dock trust is based on two ele ments, the perpetual rights of the Chi cago uock company in the site for docks north of the river to Indiana street and an agreement with the Lake Line Owners' association to give the Chicago Dock company its dockage Dusiness. Judge Ibach's FuneralWord was received from Attorney J. G. Ibach, from Daytona, Fla., this morning that the body of the.late Judge B. F. Ibach will arrive in Hammond Saturday morning. The funeral will be held from the residence, 704 South Hohman street, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Kev. Switzer of the Methodist church will officiate. In speaking of the death of Mr. Ibach the Daytona Herald says: "Judge Benjamin F. Ibach of Auburn. N. T., died Sunday evening, aged 75 years, at his winter home on Bay street. The Judge and Mrs. Ibach have been coming to Daytona for the winter season for a number of years, but this winter he has been in very poor health, resulting finally in his death. Judge Ibach was widely known as a staunch supporter of the temperance cause. His son has been notified of his demise and wilt probably reach Daytona Wednesday. Funeral services will be held at the First Methodist church Thursday afternoon at 1 o'clock. Rev. D. H. Rutter officiating, and the remains will be sent north for interment. Repeal Cigarette Law. With a blare of trumpets, commercially speaking, the cigarette will come from its hiding place down in the dark corner under the counter of the cigar store in about two weeks. Indiana tobacco dealers are on their toes, ready for one of the most active and extensive advertising and "sampling" campaigns in the history of the state. The basements of the tobacco jobbers' buildings are full of cigarette stock, signs, window displays and other advertising matter. It will all be "sprung" within a few days following the proclamation of Governor Marshall declaring the laws of the last legislature to be in force. Great things have been accomplished in the cigarette business since the anticigarette law was passed in Indiana four years ago and now that it is repealed as far as adults are concerned, Indiana is to feel the fill force of the battle of the manufacturers. Within the four years the Turkish cigarettes both the kind thRt are Turkish in reality and Turkish in name only have grown in popularity in other parts of the country at a remarkable rate. And it is the "Turk" that will be most extensively advertised. Heard and Almost Seen. She (at the musicale) Miss Screecher sings with wonderful realism, don't you think so? He Yes; you can almost see the crack In her voice.--Detroit Saturday Nieht.
