LdBOR STRIKES.
pIrrSBUR0H, Pa, June I

PIrTsBURGH, Pa, June ].
The great strike OF the iron. workers was in
ausursted to-day. Twenty thousand men and
community by good, honest work ere to-day
idle consumers. Yesterday, this vast army of
producers earned fully $4,000; to-day they
squandered part OF it. A strange stiffness pre-
walls throughout the city. Clouds Of impene-
trable smoke No longer hang over the town.
TIE strike brushed them away as II by
magic, leaving q clear rky and bright
sunlight seldom Witnessed In Pittsburgh. All
the tbirty-odd iron mills in the two cities arc
idle, with one sin lie except m-the Uui,
Mills Of Carnegie Bros. 4 Co. Thonsands OF
men, aTayed il. lest apparel, all dav long pa
raded the streets, talking, laughing and squan-
dering their money. Tue strikers are quiet
and orderly. They have the sym oathy OF the
public. and will commit no breach Of the
peace unless gosded by desperation TO
turn the tide OF public sentiment against
thtm. Speculation ms to the final result OF the
strike continues. Both des are fangu ne OF
success, and both express determination to
fight TIL ii gains the victory. Very few persons
think the strike will last long. Or manufact-
urers cannot very well afford a long period Of
idieness. Ii would bring disaster to their busi-
ness and result IN driving trade 10 other locali-
ties.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, June 1.
The great strike OF the iron-woikc kcrs began
here to-day. The press statement that tbs or
der to 60 out bad been postponed for fort
night seems to have been uufounded. The
word came from Pittsburgh At a late hour last
evening, and at midnight the works of the
North Chicago R)lling Mill Company, at Bay
View, we're closed. with the exception OF the
rail mill, which will run until Saturday. The
principal furnaces are now being blown out.
The strike throws 1000 men out of employ
ment at Bay View alone, and number have
been ordered out Of tho city foundries by the
union.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, June l.
No less than $1,000 men Will be affected by
The lockout or strike whi III began at Youngs-
town day. As a mstter OF course the mtnes
will close when there is no longer demand for
coal. and With tho furnaces closed the dem md
for coal must cease. The manufacturers claim
that TO grant the demands OF the workmen
would be to operate the mills :t q loss 10 tho
company. Both stles are equally firm, and,
from appearance, the str Ike may last year. II
is worthy OF remark that no BITTERNESS whatever
eyists between the nien at,i til ir eniployers.
whEELIso, W. va, June 1.
All the nail mills Of this city shut down to-
dnv, and exps ct 10 remain closed for an IN iefi-
mite period. There appears to bs no dspoi-
ton whatever on the paIt OF thD manufac.u-
rers to start them until the situ tion has radi-
caly changed. They express themselves 40
resoutely determined not to pay the advance
in wages asked.
