(Special to The Times.)
East Chicago, Ind., July 7- A consti
tution and by-laws for the new Citi
zens' League recently organized in
East Chicago were presented and
adopted at a meeting held last night.
A clause in the constitution defines quite fully the objects of the organization as follows: "To promote civic morality In the broadest sense of the word; to assist the city officials In the enforcement of the laws and to interest citizens at large without regard to party affiliation in securing clean and strong municipal government." A meeting for the adoption of the constitution and by-laws was held last Monday In the city hall, but was broken up on account of the storm and yesterday's meeting was an adjournment of this. There were twenty-five present. E. S. Whitmer is chairman of the committee on constitution and by-laws, which was reported last night. The next meeting will take place Monday evening, July 10, at the city hall.
tons, shipments to extend orer six months to a year ' The' larger orders for finished material quickened the mills and foundries so that the industry as a whole Is operating 70 per cent of capacity. The finishing mills generally have 70 to 75 per cent in commission. Jane rail contracts aggregated 180, 000 tons, car shops booked orders for 4.467 cars and 8,000 more are under negotiation, and locomotive works took orders for 184 engines. Steel building orders were smaller, but the June contracts were the largest ot the monthly record this year 125,000 tons. There was ' more animation In the export field. Including railroad and structural work for shipment to Central and South America, Cuba and Porto Rico and the Dutch East Indies.

STEEL TRADE ACTIVITY
EXTENDS TO PIG
IRON
Volume of Business Is the Largest in Two Months.
New Tork, July 7. The Improvement noted In finished steel, products fifteen days ago Was extended to raw material pig iron and coke and to semi-finished steel last week. The vol
ume of business in pig iron was the
largest In two months, aggregating
1(0,000 tons. The largest contracts
were placed In the east.
The greater activity was at the expense of prices, Buffalo furnaces dipping below $13 and eastern Pennsylvania furnaces shading $14 for No. 2 foundry. It Is notable that a very little steel making iron was sold, but the foundry movement steadily broadened and contracts are now under negotiations for 100,000 tons or more. Some of the largest melters of gray iron are In the market for long delivery and many more smalt consumers are buying for early shipment. Contracts for foundry and furnace coke were placed In the east and central west calling for 250,000 to 300,000
j The Ironmolders' International Union has helij no convention for three years, j In the Netherlands the predominant .hours of labor in most Industries are ten to eleven per day. I In Italian factories and workshops , more than three-fourths of the em- , ployes work ten to eleven hours a day. j The Factory Workers' Union In CJer'many increased its membership from .141,024 to 167.097 In the year 110. All the stationary firemen at Los j Angeles, Calif., are now at work under union conditions as to hours and j In the metal industries In Belgium
nearly half the men work from nine to ten hours a day, and the majority of the rest ten to eleven. The latest move on the part of tho Canadian Pacific railway management is the displacement of colored employe and the introduction of Japanese. The mass of French Canadians have been, workers on the larui ana in thb ' forests and almost entirely out of touch with Industrial life in shops, mills or factories. The International Boot and Shoe Workers Union at its recent convention re-elected all its officers. Including President Tobln and decided to hold
the next convention at Montreal In 1913.
The International Association of Ma
chinists recently reached an agreement with the Michigan Central Railroad for an Increase in wages, the rate now be
ing 34 1-2 cents an hour flat rate.
For the first time in the history of
the American labor movement, a serious
effort is under way to establish the
minimum wage by law. A vigorous campaign will be conducted, by tho unions throughout the country.
About eight thousand mechanics on the Southern railway have been granted
a wage increase that will likely be ex
tended to the Seaboard Air Line, the Atlantic Coast Line, the- N. W. and the C. & O., affecting nine thousand men. The members of the Boston Barbers' Union are willing to eliminate tipping, but under the condition that they receive an Increase in wages. A meeting to that end will oe held, asking ior such an increase, to go Into effect on August 1st.
