ESPECIAL DISPATCHES TO THR REooRD.Usros.l
The War Between Labor and Capital.

A dispatch has Just been received from
MIR. Jarrett, President OF the Amalgamated
Association of Iron Workers, stating that he
will be here to-day. Itis thought the question
whether they will continue or not will be
settled upon his arrival There is no dis
turbsnce. though about !. 200 men have quit
work. Representatives of the manufacturers
are here. Seven men are in consultation
with them. The impression is that they will
be ordered to go to work on j arrett's arrival.
PITTsBURG, June 1st-This morning the
warfare between labor and capital began in
dead earnest The fires in every iron mill in
this city. with one exception, have been taken
out and the mills shut down. The exception
is the Union iron mills of Corngee Bro. &
Co, who signed last night. They will con-
tinue to run, having contracts on hand that
must be filed. This is generally considered
bad break, and is calculated to weaken the
lines of the manufacturers. 1t is one of the
largest iron mills, and has a capacity of 80.
600 tons year. The steel mills are rue ming
as usual Most of them have signed the
scale, but as they do not employ many
puddlers it is not thought that their signing
will have any effect on the situation. 1t l.
expected that most of the sheet mills will
sign within few dsys. It is generally be.
| lieved that the strike will not be of ling du.
ration. The mills which have suspended
| operations will take advantage Of the condi
| ton of affairs to make needed repairs.
CLEVELAND, June 1st-The threatened
| strike will probably not change affairs in this
city. The Cleveland Rolling Mill Com
pany's works will be shut down for some
time, but are expected to resume before long
The works of the Forest City Iron Company,
which employs 100 men, and the Union Roll
Jog Mill Company, having 260, have signed
the scale, and are running az usual. The
other iron and steel works here employ non
union men, and are not affected.
DETROIT, june 1st.-Members of the
Amalgamated Steel and Iron Association
employed at Bnugh's steam forge, of this
city, and the Eureka iron works of Wyan.
dotte, held meeting, and decided to post.
| pone their strike for ten days. There are 20C
men employed at Bough's forge, who belong
to the Union. Bough declared that if the
strike takes place he will continue business
| just the same. 1t is probable that if the
employees of the Eureka works decide to
| strike the works will be shut down. There
are sixty men employed at this establish.
ment.
LOUISVILLE tKy.), June 1st.-Two hun,
dred and fifty men in the Central rolling
| mill have struck.
New YORK, June 1st.-Although there i:
some talk to-day of a more favorable turn tc
| the labor troubles, many of the foremost
| business men of this city regard the situation
as very significant 1t is said by Western
men who have been in town this week, that
the trades unions and other labor organizs
| tons throughout the country have attained
a greater and more widely extended System
of cooperation in their strikes this year thar
ever before. So complete is their organize
ton, they say, that not merely 10000, but
100, 900 men, in different trades, can bs
moved to one strike, either simultaneously oil
by platoons, as the circumstances, in the
opinion of their leaders, may make advis
able. It it said that June LIST has been ixec
on as the day on which a great number o.
iron and coal workers were to strike. 1t /:
ct the same time the belief of some well
informed men that over-production and thu
continued deprivation Of foreign markets
will, before next December, cause the stop
page of many of the industrial works, aut
force others to work on short time, and tina
the suffering and trouble resulting from suct
stoppage will tend to seriously increase tn,
discomfort of the operative population. Thos,
who hold this, reproach the Republicans tina
they have SO entirely neglected, during thi
long session of Congress, to reduce taxes snc
reform the tax system.
CHICAGO, June 1st.-The brickmakers ar
starting up again and refusing to take work
men who belong to the Union. They hsv
suffered considerable loss of time by tn
strike, and do not propose to be dictated t.
any further. They say that the wages pait
have been large for that kind of labor, ant
that the men have had no cause for com
plaiLt. A number of firms began worl
to-day. They had no difficulty in securing
laborers.
CINCINNATI, June 1st-Except one rollini
mill. which works scrap iron exclusively, ant
two mills which are working up three or fou
days accumulation of blooms, all the mills il
Cincinnati and vicinity have stopped. 1t j
the belief of the mill-owners that all will re
sumo next Monday, and complete adjust
ment will be made.
YoUNGsTowN TO- J, June 1st-There is n,
change in the situation from what was antici
pated last night. The mills have shut down
though the furnaces have not as yet gone eu
of the blast Everything is quiet and or
derby. The opinion seems to be that tn
strike may be long one, as neither sid
shows any sign of yielding.

have almost unanimously voted to go t.
work.

The Bonded spirits Inquiry.
WASHINGTON, June 1st.-The bonded spir
its bill investigation was resumed to-day, ant
the committee examined j. FL. Anterior. O
Louisville. Witness is member of the Elk
ecutive Committee of the Kentucky Dis
! tillers' Association. He said the Association
employed Colonel Wharton for one year from
January, 1882, at salary of $500, to loci
after their interests and superintend then
before Congress. Ths Association had nevei
employed anyone else, or paid any money t.
secure any Influence in Congress or elsewhere
Witness was in Washington in January last
Offers of assistance were made by certain
gentlemen in preparing q bill to be presented
| to Congress, but the offers were declined
Witness positively declined to give the names
of the parties. He had never been approached
by newspaper correspondents on the subject
nor had he received from any newspaper mar
any intimstion that certain correspondent
notified him that they would kill the bill
Any such assertion was utterly false. The
gentlemen who had made offers of as
sistance had done so in good faith. 1t was
presumed Of course, that they expected, il
retained, to be paid for their services bu

ator or member or Government official, OIL
intimated that they might improperly contro
any il 6uence in Congress. If such had beer
the case he would not hesitate to expose
them but he did not feel justified in dragging
in the names of honorable gentlemen and ex
posing them to unjust censure.
The committee in secret session considered
without action the refusal of Anterior tc
disclose the names of the parties who ap
preached him with offers of assistance il
securing the passage of the bonded spirits
bill. The committee are of opinion that the
question is material, and should be answered
