Especial Dispatch TO the IntclIgeneer
'PITTsBURGn, Nov. 90, 1874.
Another meeting took place yesterday
afternoon between tho iron manufacturers
and tho puddlers. The same grounds
were discussed that arc already familiar
to your readers, and l may say that moth
ing new was developed. On the one hand
the puddlers' claim that II the msnuiac
turers can afford to pay according to the
old scale when iron is one tenth above
three cents they can afford 1t when
1t Is just three cents, and the card
has not been below that as yet
Onthe other hand the manufacturers claim
that iron is selling for less than two and a
half cents and that 1t is only for the pur'
pose OF maintaining the scale until ii car
be re.adjuSted that they have not thus f4r
changed the card.
Harry Oliver, Of the firm OF Lewis, OH.
yer & Phillips, made the statement in the
meeting that the Iron Mills OF this country
circulate $150,0O0 per day, all OF which
will stop with the mills, a condition Of af.
fairs which he contended ia likely TO be
forced upon them soon, as they cannot pay
the present high prices. He argued that
rents and cost oI living would all have 10
come down at an early day TO accommo.
date the reduction Of wages.
hessrs. Harris and Ryan, on the part oil
the puddlers. did not see how it was that
rents would come down while taxes were
80 high, and with prospect Of going
higher, or why the cost Of living was
likely to be reduced as long as the pres.
ent demand remained for groceries and
meat Harris particularly referred 10 the
oillcial statement that had been given to
the public 10 the effect that taxes would
be increased some thirty per cent next
year, which increase, he said, would have
to be added to every mans rent. As far
as the manufacturers proposition goes
VIA reduction OF one dollar per ton on
the present card-thG puddleTs would

mated several times tina! the puddlers
did not believe the statements put forth
by the manufacturers, and he therefore
suggested that the former should appoint
a committee in whom they had con-
tldence 10 examine the books Of any or
all the mills in the city and satisfy them.
selves as TO how matters actually stood.
To this proposition there was no re.
sponsc whatever, and the meeting finally
adjourned sine die, which termination
was regarded By tho manufacturers as
an indication that the puddlers were fixed
ant incxorable in their determinations
not to yield, and which, they say, means
a lock out, inasmuCh as they, the man.
uIacturers, cannot continue to pay pres.
ent prices. Rather than run at such
heavy loss they will let the mills stand
idle.
The thirty days notice expires one
week from tomorrow, at which time
tho climax will have been reached.
Somebody must then yield or the mills
will close. A few days more therefore
will tell the story. s.
