A settlement Expected soon In the Irou
Wsr-Hoy~ On Their Mettle.

Wsr-Boy~ On Their MettIe.
CLEVELAND, O., Sept. 1.-The situa-
ton in the iron business is nominally
unchanged. The mill at Youngstown
made no attempt to start up this week.
Trade is quiet, but there is frmer feel
ing and the prices of three weeks ago
can hardly be duplicated. Furnace men
are inclined to think there will soon be a
settlement Of strike trouble, and are
holding off to see what effect it will have
on iron. Manufactured iron continues
scarce and the assortment is badly bro
ken. Prices are firm and unchanged.
Steel rails are quiet and nominal.
PITTSBURGH, Sept. 1.-The two months
shut down of the window glass factories
on the South Side ended to-day and work
was resumed in nearly all of them, Phil
lips 81 Co., and D. O'Cunningham are
the only factories that started up with
non-union men. The starters Of the
strike Of the crimpng boys employed
in the chimney factories is unchanged.
The boys, with the exception of those
employed at Mr. Woods Fourteenth street
factory, are still out for an advance of
from As to SO cents per turn. At Match
ett's, where the boys formerly were paid
4f cents, they desire IS cents. The lads
have been offered the advance by several
of the firms affected, but they refuse to
60 to work because they would have to
work by the piece. They were required
10 make 300 chlmneys per turn but are
not paid for full turn when they do not
work.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Sept. Outside of the
denial of the report that one lodge OF the
amalgamated association has notified the gen.
eral Officers that they intended to return to
work at the old scale there was very little new
in circulation. The impression is very strong
that the strike is failing fast and that the end
is close at hand. President Jarrett arrived
from the east today and stated that II the
wise heads of the association deemed il ad-
visable, he would call q meeting the early
part of next week at the iamalgama,ed head
quarters. a consultation was held this after.
noon at which about fifty prominent men,
bers were present. The consultation was
held with closed doo-s and what was done is
therefore unknown.
WHAT Has BEEN LOST.
ST. LOUIS, Sep. 1.-The Age Of Steel will
| publish tomorrow letters IRON about one
! half OF the rolling mills OF the nail works in
! the Pittsburgh district, in reponso TO inGui-
| ries concerning the shortage of product, the
number OK mep idle and the amount of wages
| lost in consequence OF The Juae strike.
| From twepty-four mills reporting IL is shown
| that the probable out put from June l to Sep
TENDER 1, had the strike not occurred, would
have been $3.50 tons OF merchant bars:
20, $50 tons OF hoop and band iron; IS 900 tons
of plate and tank iron; loco tons of shee,
iron; 81 900 tons of bloom; 1880 tons OF
rails; 2S6, 900 kegs of nails anu spikes, and
90, 900 tons Of pig iron.
| 1t will be observed that in some lines the
shortage is comparatively small, but this is
due to the fac. that the mills on these lines
did not nearly al! report. This refers partlcu-
larry to the plate, tank and sheet mills. Only
about one half of the nail mills report and
very few furnaces and boomers. The number
of men idle in the mills in consequence of the
| strike reaches a total of 1l,l30, and the
amount of wages lost by them during ,he
thee months Of idleness is Sl.676.300. It il
not believed here that the mills will resume s.
| any cary date, as no representatives have af
Yet appeared soliciting orders in advance as i:
usually the case.
