CLEVELAND, June 3.-The Leader Of this
city makes the announcement to-day TINT
it is no secret that the present strike was
undertaken against the advice OF 2lr. jar.
ret, the president OF the Amalgamated AS.
sociation: 1t goes on to say that those en-
titled to know declared that he vigorously
opposed any movement for m advance OF
wages under the present condition of
affairs. He saw that with increasing
stocks a lessening demand, and a falling
market, the time was not opportune for de-
handing increased pay. Finding himself
unable to prevent tile contemplated strike,
or TO procure its postpone,nent to a more
favorable season, he induced the
men to modiiy their first demands, with a
view to preserving amcabie relations be.
tween the employers and the employees.
But now that the die is cast Mr.. Jarrett
will carry out tho orders Of the Amaleii.:
mated Association, although he holds 10
tho opinion that tho movement .is boil,
unwise and untimcly. He believes the
strike will in the end prove disastrous to
tho association. The means at the com.
mand Of the organizations will 60 but n 1T.

he realizes and inclines to tho belief
that the movement can only end in
defeat. : While some OF lis colleagues lay
stress on the fact that q few steel and
specially mills have signed the new scale
Of wages and predict an early yielding to
their demands, Mr.. jarrett takes an oppo.
site view Of the case. He anticipates a long
fight, and, rs he says, looks for defeat in
the end. He processes to be well acquaint.

curing such Legislation rs may keep tho
heads OF American glass manufacturers
above water, and enable them to compete
with tho European product. European
cut glass Of certain grade can bc sold in
this country for less money than the Amer.
lean skilled laborer is paid for cutting tho
glass. Simply, as Mr.. Brockunier explains,
because the European laborcrs arc willing
or compelled to work for Il
mere pittncc, while the American
taborer demands, and should receive fair
remunerativc wages. Mr.. Brockunicr, nc
companicd by Congressman Wilson, called
on Judge Kelley, Chairman Of the Ways
and Means Committee, and liatl> a long
consultation on the importance Of laying
before the Tariff Commission the propricty
Of imposing such duty on foreign cut glass-
ware as will enable American manniactnr-
ers TO compete with those abroad. Is
G. d
Mr.. Brockunier also called on assistant
Secretary Bancroft Davis, ut the State De-
partment, who supplied numerous docu-
ments pertaining to the glass question, md
who promised to advise Mr.. Drockunicr
further. /. Both Judge Kelley and Mr..
Davis took much interest in the matter.
Mr.. Brockunier met many members Of the
House besides, among them "Sunset" Cox,
who proved 10 be a relative by marriage.
He has made very favorable impression
here and is evidently determined that the
glass trade shall have the protection which
it needs, and which, he argues with much
force and clcarncss, it ought to have. &

Philadelphia, as well rs those having cs.
adjustments in the Leliigi and Schuykill
valleys and tho Harrisburg region, with
offices in this city, without exception, say
they have no fears OF n strike among their
employees, nor Of any shutdown similar 10
tho present situation in Pittsburgh. The
iron manufacturers Of tho State, properly
speaking, may be divided into three classes,
the difference between them being in tho
arrangements which each cluss has with It's
employees in reference to tho basis upon
which wages are determined. The Phila.
dclphians have Il sliding scale Of their own,
by which tho wages Of the employees are
regulated from month to month. The Pitts.
burgll manufacturers also have q sliding
scale, but owing 10 special varia-
tions in It's details, tho wagcs Of Pitts
burgh employees arc always ahead OF those
Philadelphia workmen. The third class
are. those who lave no sliding scale as
such, but have thorough understanding
with their employees TINT when tho price
OF iron advances then wages shall be nd.
ynnccd, md when It goes down then
wages shall also decrease. This last set
may be said TO include MI tho manufacture
crs whose mills arc located In the middle
Of tho statc. Those OF the Lehigh and
Schuylkill valleys, including the Allen.
town, Reading and phenixviIle companies,
and those in, about, and beyond Harris.
bnrg, comprising among others tho Pax.
ton, Duncannon, and Cambria works.
While the arrangements under which the
wages arc paid, together with the wages
themselves, differ among three classes, tho
basis upon which these wages are rcsula.
ted Is Tho same. The market or selling
price Of iron is always made the standard
Of wages. - ElfiE +. .3ust

There has been the impression in some
quarters that President Jarrotts arrival

mistaken idea, as his powers would be

yer-The Eject Of tho Decision. "

PHlLApElrlltA, juno 3.-A New Yorl
lawyer has earned perhaps tho laryest con.
tinsent fec ever won in this country. The
ruling OF the Supreme Court OF tho United
States in tho knit goods case takes or &c
cents per pound on all hosiery or kni,
goods into which wool enters. This dc.
cision refunds to importers sll,Oop,OoD.
Naturally it has excited the indignation Of
the American manufacturers Of hosiery
goods, as they declare that 1t places them
upon unequal terms with Englisl, manu-.
iacturerS In market wherc they were un.
able to compete except with that protec.
ton which thespecitlc duty Of so cents per
pound guaranteed them. The claim Of in.
justice in the decision Of the Supreme
Court is the greater .clicapncss Of wool in
the foreign market, which will enable for
eIgn goods to came into this market at the
reduced rate and take away profit, while
manufacturers paying a higher price for
wool cannot begin to meet the competition.

to be felt already" said AIr. John ]. Gla.
