sn end Over sixty of the old miners have'
to-day, applied for work at the operators
terms, and it Is believed a general re-
sumption will follow on Monday
A Current Rumor.
PrTTsBURG, August lS.-It is reported up
on what is considered reliable authority,
that one of the lodges of the Amalgamated
Association, in the Twelfth ward held
meeting last night, and after a very heated
session, passed a resolution to submit the
old scale to the manufacturers for their
signature, provided the President Of the
lodge would give -his% consent. 1t is not
known what his decision will be, but If the
report is true, it will have an important
bearing on the strike.
Mill shuts Down.
FALL RIVER, Mass, August 1S.-The
Wampanosg mills have shut down on ac-
count of the strike of the spfnners. 1t is
expected that the mill will start up again
on Monday.
A Break I'm the Miners Lines,
PrTTsBURG, August lS.-The most import
ant break that has yet occurred in the
ranks of the striking miners took place to-
day, when sixty miners marched out Of the
strikers camp and proceeded to the works
Of the Mansfield Coal and Coke Company,
when they offered their services at the three
and half rate This action is regarded by
the operators as the forerunner of gene
raj break, which will follow in few days
and end the strike.
Another Strike.
BLOOMINGTON, ILL, August lS.-In con.
sequence of the reduction in the hours of
labor from ten to nine per day, nearly all
the laborers in the Chicago and Alton ma.
chine shops quit work at noon to-day.
They include the entire force of iron
workers and some of the wood workers
Their demands have net vet been formu-
lated, but they will probably ask an ad-
vance of 10 per cent in order to make their
wages thersame as before the reduction.
The Etna Pipe Will starts.
PITTsBrRG, August lS.-A start has been
made at the Etna Pipe Mill, Spang, Chal-
FAINT & Co. The stock of iron on hand is
said to be small and comes, it is said, from
the mill of the Spang Iron and Steel Com
pany Shsrpsburg. In other respects there
was do change in the local situation.
A RumOr Denied.
PITTSBURGH, August 1S.-The report OF a
meeting of one of the Amalgamated lodges
in the Twelfth ward, at which resolution
to return to work at the old scale was
adopted, is denied by the officers of the
Association. 1he four lodges in that dis
trict met last evening, and the question OF
returning to work was brought up but
when put to vote was lost, only three
members voting to return at the old scale
Ii was also decided to notify the union
blackSmiths and hammer men now working
for Wilson, Walker Il Co., that if they work
sny new iron they will be expelled from
the association.
