THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY OF STEEL WORKERS THINK SO. Trouble That Has Existed for a Long Time in the Craft Decline in the Demand for Steel Rails Causes a Change. The National Assembly of Iron and Steel Workers is to be definitely organized as soon as possible. John Clark, of this city, the principal organizer of the assembly, has called a convention to be held at Harrisburg at the close of the Minneapolis convention, when all arrangements will be completed. At the Harrisburg meeting the National Assembly will be divided into seven sub-districts.

The latter will be as follows: Harrisburg, No. Philadelphia, No. Oxford, N. No. Hollidaysburg, No.

Pittsburgh, No. Benwood, Wr. No. Chicago, No. 7.

The Pittsburgh sub-district will not only be The largest, but it will be the most influential. Mr. Clarke expects that it will contain a membership sufficiently strong to demand recognition in the annual settlement of the ironworkers' wage scale. Mr. Clarke is expected to be master workman of the Pittsburgh district.

Another important question will be discussed at the Harrisburg convention, and one that will command national attention. It is intended to try and establish a uniform scale of wages for bessemer steel works. Mr. Clark is confident that it can tie done, though it looks like a herculean task. At present all the bessemer works are run on private or local agreements.

Heretofore this arrangement has been one of necessity because no uniform scale has yet been devised that would meet the requirements of all the works. The conditions and methods in operation at the various works are so di verse tnat what has leen suitable tor one place was not acceptable at another. The Amalgamated Association of Iron and steel workers tried to establish a uni form scale but failed, at last it did not persevere in its efforts. The new national assembly of the Knights of Labor, however, is confident of success. If a scale such as referred to is formulated and be comes a sueress it will be one of the best strokes made bv the Kuights of Labor.

Several labor leaders, however, have lit tle or no confidence in such a scale bein established.

DETROIT'S GREAT SLUGGERS THUMP HIM LIVELY. The Pittsburgh's Beaten Badly Exciting Bicycle Contest at the Inter-State Fair Latonia Running Meeting Yesterday's Ball Games. There was any amount of good heavy Lining at llecreation ParK yesterday atteruoon that made the contest between the Pittshnrghs and Detroits quite lively. Unfortunately for the home team, however, the good cracks were all made by the visiting sluggers. From start to linish it seemed as if the coming champions wanted nothing; easier than to face Morris.

Tliey fully demonstrated the fact that when in humor they are as much at home with a left hand twirler as with any other. There is no exaggeration when it is said that the Detroit terrors kept the hall flyini; ail over the grounds. Sound hits and plenty of them gave the visitors an easy victory. Morris was made weary by the drubbing he received. He was not well supported by l'ieldd, who had four passed balls and missed several foul tips that he might have caught.

Kuehne also gave an exhibition of very stupid base running. "Lady" Baldwin was in the box for the visitors aud pitched a fairly good game. He received excellent support, which gave him great encouragement. About 1,500 jnt'iple were in the park, and the chilly that swept across the enclosure kept everyone wide awake. Galvin umpired and did well.

Th visitors made their first run on Itichardsoii's single, a passed ball, an out and a ridiculously wilu throw bv Barkley to the home plate. In the second inning lour runs were earned. Five hits were hanged out, including a triple and two doubles. A triple hy White and Bennett's simile earned another run in the third. A base on balls, a glaring overthrow to first by Fields after two mmi were out, and two singles netted another run in the seventh.

In the eighth iruing llanlou led oil" with a single, Baldwin tlcv out to left, Kichardson smashed out a to center, Brouthers liew out and Howe got his base iu balls and stole second. Tbompscn's long single to Carroll brought both men in. The home players earned their first run ou singles by 8uiifh, Kuehne and Dal-ryuiple and an out. Coleman led oft in the third inning and reached iirst on "White's wild throw. Fields made a single and a passed ball sent him to second, Coiemau going to third.

Barkley knocked grounder to llrouthers aud Coleman scored, but Sam was retired. Smith's fciugle brought in Fields. "Pop" stole second and reached home on Ivuehue's scratch hit. Kuehne stole second, bur by stupid base ruuuiug got caught between third and home. "Dal" rlew out to Brouthers.

In the ninth inning tiie Inst run was made on Morris being hit. by a pitched ball; Carroll's longliy To right and Coleman's single to center. Following is the eeore: yiTTSB i A DETROIT. B. A.

The kind you can make least money on is reliable cioimng. It costs more, but the prices must compete with the other. If you're to buy clothing and wear it, you can't get it too reliable. Turn that wisdom about. The more reliable, then, the better.

The highest profit for you is in it. Mean clothing hates to get in the neighborhood of our make. It fears it. You compare the prices and the clothing. It has to get out.

We don't believe you want shoddy, sweepings of the mill, and cotton, mixed, all driven and pounded together, and then printed a fancy pattern to make it look like all-wool cloth. It isn't good enough for reliable clothing. When we can't sell a dependable quality we'll shut our doors. Understand that clearly, and it pays us well for all the time we speid in telling you about it. As long as we stand by our liberal methods to protect the customer the clothing is riht.

It's our make: and there's onlv one way to come up to us: sell better clothing, if anybody can. It hasn't come in sight yet. And we're learning how to make it better yet. You are learning, too. Our business is growing quickly.
