: economic question has been solved and the
new crops begins to move, yet there arc
some signs that make 1t seem just probable
that partial movement may be had prior
to that time, though there arc many who
incline to the belief that the first named
condition precedent will soon be accom-
plisl,ed. The facts that stocks OF iron and
, nails arc light in the face Of considerable
demand, and that tho West and the Chat.
tanooga district may begin ere long 10 reach
out with the intent to supply that demand,
induces many 10 believe that compro-
mise will yet be effected in this section be-
fore grass grows green in the streets. In
the mean time money Is growing gradu-
ally plentier in the banks and the ex-
changes are gradually declining to the
point at which they stood before the
boom. ,a@
I6. Views or Manufacturers. &
Secretary Martin seems confident that
word will be received from St. Louis that
MI amicabie arrangement has been arrived
at there, md that this will be quickly fol-
lowed by similar tidings from other West
ern cities. !. {ig &
These views are not shared by any manu-.
iacturers. They laughed ut the statement
that the action Of Cincinnati manufacturers
would affect this district, where the mills
owned by one firm produce as much iron
rs all the mills in Cincinnati put together.
The expressed opinion OF all spoken to was
that the only thing that could bring about
4 change in the situation was the Amalga-
mated Association, and il could only do it
BY recedins from its present stand.
This assertion has more foundation in
fact than appears ut first sight. 1t twill be
remembered that q few days after June LIST,
1t was asserted by manufacturers that all
mills that intended do 80 had signed, and
that in signing the first days, they had fol-
lowed the advise OF other manufacturers.
That occurred nearly two weeks ago, and
nothing has occurred since 10 warrant
contradiction OF the assertion. In the same
time the workmcn OF this city alone have
lost 81 1000, 600 in wages.
The A,nnlSnInnte4l Association.
| The committee appointed by the last

S. McCord, Thurlow, Pa; John jarrett,
. and William Martin. All were present to-
day. except President jarrett, who is in St.
Louis and reported i'll. The only business
transacted to-day was to receive suggestions
: from the several lodges. No definite ac-
, ton has yet been taken, and whatever shall
be done will not be promulgated until the
regular report is made to the convention at
Chicago. This is the first committee Of this
: description that has ever met, and the OBJ
! ject is to make whatever changes may be
deemed necessary to meet the growth OF
, the Association.
The Cleveland Strike.
CLEVELAND, June l3.-Morc men than
yesterday went to work this morning at
the Cleveland rolling mill, and two more
e departments were started up. No violence
: was offered and no disturbance occurred
l other than some shouting by some idlers in
! the streets. The yelling which has been
! done by crowds rs workers 60 to labor
g have been magnitied in the rumors and
attributed 10 strikers, but in the main the
strikers have been very orderly, and it is
: doubtful il they are chargeab with the
;. minor street conflicts which in less excit.
= ing times would pass for mere drunken
: : brawls and attract little, notice. The
u strikers wear badges and no violence has
). been traced to them.
