The Strikes.

New YORK, Dec. S.-A Pittsburg dispatch
says the puddlers' strike began yesterday, anc
at least fifteen thousand men are out of en-
poyment, some four hundred furnaces being
blown out. The puddlers on Saturday, in con
ference with the manufacturers, refused the
scale of prices offered by the latter, hence the
strike. One firm yesterday refused 40 order
Tor seven thousand tons Of iron from an East
err house. There will undoubtedly be grea,
suffering, as very few of the puddlcrs have
any money ahead.
The Longshoremens Society have rescinded
the order that their members shall not work
with non-society men. Their strike is proving
a perfect hasco.
