A United States Steel Corp official said starting January 1 1904 about 90 percent of the company’s employees in subsidiary firms will endure wage cuts ranging from a fraction to 20 percent. Around 150 000 workers will be affected, while the remaining 10 percent belong to the Amalgamated Association of Iron Steel and Tin Workers with a July 1 1904 wage schedule.
