tion ~ the workmen are unmarried and
where they make such good pay as In
Pittsburgh.
There are sixteen blast-firnaccs here
owned by ten establishments, with a capi-
tai OF $3.50, 900. employing 1926 hands,
and turning out sS,766,49 in products a
year. There are thirty-six establishments

capital. employing S,905 hands, and turn
ing out s30,2l2, 257 in products annually.
There are seventeen steel establishments,
with el0,1I0,000 capital, employing 1000
men. and making sls,37s,S36 Of products
per year. These, with the coal indus
tries and the shops where tools are
made, run up vastly in financial land
physical assets, all OF which would be
10 an uncertain extent affected by u
long-continued strike. My judgment,
based on careful conversation with intelli.
gent men on both sides, Is that there VIII
be a strike; that cach.side thinks the other
will Weld; that as some OF the employers
have signed the scale, others VIII 90 the
same. and that after natural period OF
rest. compromise will settle the whole busi-
ness. II foreign laborers are brought in
there will be trouble, but that can't happen
until the latter part OF July or the 1st OF
August. The city is perfectly quiet. and
a suggestion OF violence or physical trou-
BILE is met with derision on every hand.

ALI. THE PITTSBURGH IRON MILLS BUT ONE SHUT
DOwN-THE STEEL MILLS STILL RUNNING.
PITTSBURGH, June 1.-The fires in every
iron mill in this city, with one exception,
have been put out, and the mills have shut
down. The exception is the Union Iron
Mills, OF Carnegie Brothers IL Co., who
signed the scale last night. They will con-
tinue 10 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. IL IS one
of the largest iron mills here, and has ca
pacity OF $4,000 tons year.
The steel-mills are running as usual.
Most OF them have signed the scale, but rs
they do not employ many puddlers it is not
thought their running will have much ef-
feet on the situation. 1t is expected that
most OF the sheet-iron mills will sign within
a few days. 1t is generally believed that
the strike will be OF long duration. Those
mills which have suspended operations VIII
take advantage Of the condition OF affairs
to make needed repairs.
FoRTY-TwO THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED AND
FIFTY IRON-wORKERs OUT.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-Reports from
some Of the points where the iron-workers
struck to-day give the number OF men out
as follows: Louisville, KY, $50; Chicago,
200; Cincinnati, 1900; Youngstown,
Ohio, about 10000; Pittsburgh, about 80
900. Al Shamokin, Pa, the miners in the
Buck Ridge coliery struck for more
wages. The iron masters at Cincin-
natl expect their workmen will re-
sumo very soon, rs the contract is
still in force between the Amalgamated
Association Of Iron Workers and the Gin
cinnati employers which was made some
months ago on the occasion OF the local
strike. The present movement in Cincn-
natl is not sanctioned by the union, and all
the local officers OF the union are at work.
They have appealed to the officers OF the
central organization TO intervene III behalf
of the existing contract.
