No Conference Believed Held In Iron and Steel Jobbing Mills
President Webhe and Secretary Jarrett intend to arrange the jobbing scale after a July 26 conference failed to reach an agreement. Only five mills run robbing lines wider than 48 inches at No. 10 gauge or more, affecting a small workforce. The rollers, though few, could halt a mill, and training for these posts is specialized.

Rush to naturalize high before national election
The United States Circuit Court admitted 16 men to citizenship this week with more applicants planned for next Tuesday. August naturalizations are urged in court as county sessions pause until September, creating a fall rush in Common Pleas Courts. Italian clubs in the city spur naturalization, while Irish and German paths differ with long-standing settlement. The naturalization rules require five years in the U S and one year in the state, with declarations of intent made years prior and final admission proven by witnesses and character. Minor children follow the parent’s naturalization.
