TIE IRON STRIKE,

Running with Nomination Men.


PlrrsnURGH, August 9.-To those who
have for weeks been brought into contac
with tho leading iron manufacturers Of tht
city, it Is now becoming evident daily thai
there is some plan or scheme on foot which
shall result iayorably for their side in the
conflict, or which ut least offers cheering
hopes of an early change for the better
Faces that were gloomy week ago are to.
day wearing an expression Of satisfaction
and apparent tranquility. Bu. as for the
gentlemen giving any tangible reason for
this change, that is another question en-.
tircly. The nearest approach to any ray Of
light was afforded during n too.bref to K
with John Chalfant Esq.
"What do you think" askel that gentle.
man, "is going to be done at McKeesport?''
at looks" Was the modest reply, "as II
Mr.. Flas!er was going to come out ahead"
"iou are right" said Mr.. Chaliant.
"And il he does?n
at will start every mill in this city sooner
or later, mind that" and the gentleman
moved of.
Mr. i. F. Jones, President OF the Iron
Association, and who has been in Europe
since the first days OF the strike, has been
OF late in daily communication with other
member Of the firm OF Jones & Laushlins,
and while it would be has,y to state tha,
these communications will lead to an effort
10 start these immense works with non.
union men, yet, taken in connection with
other hints and symptoms, it's safe to assume
that Important measures OF some kind are
on foot among the men whose mills have
SO long been lille. 1gs5szs--
Henry Ward, William King, and David
Reese, the Mckeesport iron. workers who
were arrested yesterday on the charge OF
preventing the non-uniOn men from pro-
ceeding with their work were released
from the Jail this morning on 500 bail.
The men entered their names rs securities
on each others bonds, and the name OF
Lyman Browarsky, liquor dealer on
Fifth avenue also appean as security on
one OF the bonds. The men were met at
the Jail office by several OF their friends,
who welcomed them on their return to
liberty, but there was nothing in the
nature OF 4 demonstration and very little
was said. Two Deputies started TO Nc
keesport after Pollock, Webb and Terry,
the other defendants in the charge. and il
is probable that they will be arrested and
enter bail in the same amount this after
noon.
The success attending the resumption OF
the National Tube Works with non.un ion
men has encouraged Others to try the ex-
pertinent. The Lima mill, at Shnrpsburg,
owned by Spang, Chaliant K Co, Of this
city, have lighted the fires in the furnaces
and will start in few days. The Ki,tan-
ming mill, owned by Graft, Bennett & Co.,
OF this city, will probably be the next to
follow suit. To day they notified their old
employees that II they desired 10 return at
old wages without signing any scale, and
as members OF no union they could 10 to
work. Ii the wOrkmen do not accept the
proposition non-union men will be en-
pioyed. :
The following is the notice: SHOULD the
puddlers heretofore employed by the Kit
tanning Iron Company limited) or ten or
fifteen OF them desire to 20 TO work they
eau do so upon the following conditions:
lst. Price TO be s. 80 per ton Of oa4O
pounds. %. The company will not sign
the scale. 3d. Pay day 10 be the fifth Of
each month. 18th. Xii grievances to be ad-
justed with the party agyrieved, as no com
mi.tee will be recognized by the company.
This evening the general opinion pre-
walls that the manufacturers have gained
4 groat advantage within the past few DAYS,
and that now they propose to force the
fight against the Amalgama,ed Association.
In the coal situation the operators also
appear to have the best Of tue Asht, and
the late action OF reducing the selling
prize OF coal has greatly strengthened their
side and weakened that Of the miners. This
afternoon two carloads OF imported miners
arrived apd were put 10 work in the Na-
lional mines. The call issued by the Phn.
nix miners for n Convention has resulted
in. President Jones calling a Convention
for August 18th to consider the advisability
OF closing down all the mines at pscsent
working for four cents;
