Sudden formulation of the lockout.
la yirS oi the fact that the so-called
lockout at Pittsburgh has terminated at
the close Of its drst week, the question
NAY well be asked,
'i 70 soon am done for
WnH SAS begun f0r?"
We 10 not know what the Pittsburgh
manufacturers would say in answer to such
aQuestion, but We presume 1t would be
something like this, that they expected this
yclr repetition Of last years dullness, de.
PRESTON and absenceof profit, and thus ex.
pectng had looked forward to the comingo oil
the ,t OF June as a time at which they
would be compelled to choose between a
repetition OF last years experience or a
Goppase OF their mills, provided the cost
Oi manufacture remained the same.
Wepresume further that the status OF
affairs has changed somewhat in the last
tew weeks, and that while prices are still
generally unchanged yet that orders are
coming in more freely, and that hopes are
entertained from this increase Of orders)
Ofapermanent improvement both in price
AMI activity rs compared with last year.
We presume still further, that looking
thus upon the immediate future as posi-.
bic season OF increased demand the man.
uhcturers have had visions of alienated
and perchance, lost trade, il they became
involved in long lockout, and rather
than take the risks OF such state
olthings have preferred to take the risks
oEarelapse into last years experience.
1t would seem further that the Pitts.
bnrsh manufacturers are very unevenly
circamsIanced in respect to the specialties,
and while some have had specialties that
have paid profit, others, less favorably
situated, have run in the old grooves on
staple goods, with disCouraging results.
Tue latter were in a frame OF mind to
shut up shop for an indefinite period,
while the former had hopes Of more bust.
ness this year and consequently more
profit than last, and therefore lookedupon
the alienation OF their trade as very seri'
ous matter; aud some became nervous over
the idea Of long stop. ...
In the absence Of any advices as to the
ause OF the sudden change Of front al
Pittsburgh, We venture to offer the above
as our own hypothesis in the premises,
Presuming that VIC are correct We venture
to express the hope tn the experience oI
the l'iltsburHh iron men from this time or
may be more than equal to their anticipa
tons, whatever the latter may be, aud
that tor all concerned, employers and EN-.
pIoyes, better times may really be at hand
