iyDecial DisDdtch 10 The ReOtster.


PlTTsBURG, May 22.-The conference Of
the committee of manufacturers and the
representatives of the Amagamated Asso-
citation, to-day, was short, and resulted in
the positive refusal of the former to accept
the scale which the Amalgamated Associa-
ton presents as It's ultimatum. When the
meeting was called to order, President
Jarrett, on behalf of the Amalga-
mated Association, made brief
statement to the committee, that
the scale formerly proposed mad beenlwith-
drawn after due consideration, and new
one substituted which proposed to advance
only the puddlers, muck rollers and
scrappers on sand bottom.
After listening quietly to Jarrett the
manufacturers consulted in an ante-room
for few minutes, returned, and then an
nounced that they were willing to meet a
committee and provide for change in the
wages of scrappers for busheling
on sand bottom, but that they
would not and could not consent
to increase the scale for puddlers and muck
rollers.
The statement was made in the plainest
and clesreSt terms, and gave due emphasis
to the determination of the iron men,
Mr. Jarrett then said that the representa-
tives of the Amalgamated Association had
nothing further to offer, and moved 10 ad-
journ. This was agreed to, and the con-
ference was at an end.
President Jarrett will have the scale
sent to all the manufacturers, and if it is
not signed by the 1st of June, general
strike will be declared.
Both sides are apparently firm in the
stand taken, today, and bitter struggle is
predicted by knowing ones. NJ.

animated discussion. The iron workers
laid their proposals before the manufactur-
ers, and they were talked over for short
time, and then were s'-A'-''-
EmphatieaIIy Declined
by the mill owners. Each side left the
meeting with an apparent determination
not to yield in any particular, and no date
being fixed for another joint session OF the
committee, they now go out of existence.
President Jarrett OF the Amalgamated
Association, presented as the ultimatum OF
the workmen, demand for an increase OF
so cents ton for pudding, from 6SA cents
to IS cents on muck rolling, and from S2.2
to $2.75 on busheling on sand bottoms.
James T. Bennett said these figures
Could not be Paid.
but offered to have a subcommittee ap-
pointed to consider the advance for scrap
pers but this was declined, and President
Jarrett moved for the adjournment which
followed.
Two leading members OF the manufact-
urers' Committee say the Amalgamated
Association will find it cannot have all it
asks for, and that the fight between organ
lied capital and labor which will take place
this summer, will be the
Greatest and Most Desperate
this country has ever seen. All the mill
owners west of here have been waiting for
the result in Pittsburg, and now that it has
come, they will have to yield or go out
with the Pittsburg firms on the first day of
June. The Amalgamated Association will
present the new scales for signature, and
if they are not signed, then will come the
Great Strike.
The workmen say Pittsburg mill owners
cannot afford to let their works remain
idle, but the operators say they will not
turn a wheel at theS advance. One manu-
facturer says pudding is changed, and this
in the face of the fact that the
leaders in the Amalgamated Association
pledged themselves, if we granted certain
concessions year ago. they would not ask
for an increase in pudding. They have, it
is true, made some changes in their de-
mands, but they are changes rather than
notifications, and with pudding at So,
don't amount to anything. The present
state of uncertainty seems to effect every
Corner OF the Country
where iron is made or bought or sold. The
railroads being out of the market as extern
sive buyers, is not the only element in the
case. Until new and satisfactory scale is
agreed upon in Pittsburgh, the whole iron
industry is at sea. The buyer holds off his
orders and the manufacturer won't take
orders ahead when he don't know what his
product is going to cost him.

PITTSBURGH, May 22.-The final confer
enCe between the iron manufacturers and
and the committee of the Amalgsmated
Association of Iron and Steel Workers,
relative 10 signing the wage scale for the
ensuing year, was held this afternoon, and
resulted in an adjournment without CON-
ing to an amicable settlement of the diff
culties.
President Jarrett, of the Amalgamated
Association, presented the modified scale
adopted at Saturdays meeting. but the
manufacturers refused TO concede the ad-
vance demanded, and the conference was
declared adjourned.
Both sides are firm in their determina-
ton 20 hold out, and from the present in
dicatien strike on June lst is inevitable.
The man nufacturers claim that the de-
pressed condition of the iron market will
not justify an increase, and that they will
hold out for year. On the other hand,
the Amalgamated Association say the
scales submitted is their ultimatum, and
that while they are prepared to stand a
strike of any length, the manufacturers
will sign the scale before two weeks. II
the strike occurs, $1,000 men will be thrown
out of employment.
