AT Cleveland.

'CLEyRLAND, June 10.-"More men at work
than on any day since the strike began"
said the officers of the Cleveland Rolling
Mill Company yesterday, and, after tour
of the departments, Leader reporter de-
cided that they spoke truly. The rail mill
was running with slightly increased force
of men, and one hundred and twelve rails
were turned out before the workmen quit
at 4aciock in the afternoon. 1t was stated
that one hundred and fifty rails would
have been made but for the twisting of
rail around the rollers, Or the formation of
collar as it is technically termed. In
the wire mill one man brought in forty
new men, and there was considerablerin-
crease in the number of men at work,
while the Siemens Martin furnace was rum
ming with nearly full force.
1t must be borne in mind, however, that
the rail mill, Seimens-Martin furnace, and
wire mill dc not constitute all the depart
ments of the rolling mill, and that the
others are shut down entirely. 1t is re-
ported that the men in the carpenter shop
took their tools home yesterday, and will
not return to work again until the conclu-
sion OF Inc Str1ke. luc stccl Inllii thO SOiS
steel mill, and the two rod mills are
Shut Down Entirely,
while in the machine shops but two men
were visible yesterday. Mr.. Chisholm was
questioned as to whether these other depart
ments will start up next week, when he
claims many additional men will 60 to work.
He said it was impossible to say what
would be done next week, as he had not yet
concluded what he would do then.
At Cincinnati.
CINCINNATI, June 10.-At nine o'lock this
forenoon a committee of workmen from the
iron mills met the proprietors of the mills
and made an agreement with them to
eliminate the word "forever" from the con-
tract, and to 60 to work on Monday on the
terms of the contract of last October, thus
amended. Prices at present will be the same
as when they quit, and will so remain until
the scale is fixed at Pittsburgh, when that
will be the Cincinnati scale.
CINCINNATI, June 10-John Jarrett was
interviewed at his hotel to-day, and here is
the result:
"When did you a, rive, Mr.. Jarrett?'
'This morning from Pittsburg."
SIS there any prospect Of an adjustment
of the difficulty there"
81 think so; the mills are now undergo
ing repairs, which are badly needed the
proprietors having taken advantage OF the
present suspension of their business. AS
soonlas the work of repairing is finished l
believe operations will be resumed"

time to do it will be at the meeting in Gov
ciontsultatthis CO eyeninr.srnen, and have an OPP
portunity to obtain broader view. Ihe
mill owners are still determined to abide
by the agreement of last October"
They are" -,

81 don't know; but think ! shall"
"What is the general situation OF the
country elsewhere, generally, in regard to
the iron strike?"
"Well, this is the greatest strike in the
history of the Association. There are near
ly seventy thousand men in Che Western
mills, and over forty OF them are in the
strike. don't think there will be any ad-
iustment in the country till the men sue
ceed. The demand at Pittsburgh is for an
increase of nearly ten per cent. to rollers
and puddlers and reduction OF the Ton
from twenty-four sixty-four, to twenty-five
forty pounds. / believe there are pros
naofs nf ultimate success ~
