HELP FROM THE EAST
For the StrlkcrH-Thc situation in the
phIiMIlelnllIR Dist rIcf

PHILADELPHIA, May 3l.-Oiticers Of the
Eighth district OF the Amalgamatcd Asso-
ciation Of Iron and Steel Workers, in which
Philadelphia is included, say that the ex-
pectcd strike oitheir co.laborers and fellow
members in Pittsburgh, will not have my
effect here. The men in all the Philadel-
phia rolling mills have signed all agree
'nent TO work ut five per cent reduction
alter June |, and are satisfied, it is said, to
stand by the agreement, believing
that they must bear their share OF the re-
dnction that has taken placc i'll the sell.
ing price Of manufactured iron. In five
months. Since December las!, street rails
have declined $40 per ton. Pig iron has
fallen 81 so and bar iron and nails have
sympa.hizcd with the downward tendency.
There has always been difference in the
condition tl iron workers in the East and
West. In the East they have been more
conservative and being able to live cheaper
have been satisfied with less wages than in
Pittsburgh and other Western points. Pud.
dlers who receive four and five dollars per
Ton here expect and have been getting six
dollars in Pittsburgh.
1t IS acknowledged, however, that il the
Pittsburgh strike should be OF long dura.
ton II will involve a heavy drain upon
members Of the Amalgama,ed Association
here and in other places. In exceptional
cases drafts are made upon the accnmulat.

general treasury. Such course, it is said,
will be taken in case the Pittsburgh strik.
