LATEST NEWS FROM ALL QUARTERS.

.PIrrsBuRGH, July 25.--It seems that the
announcement that the men had deserted
the Amalgamated Association in Cleve'
land, and had gone to work for the Cleve'
land Rolling Mill Company, was incorrect.
Yesterday President Jarrett said:
81 received no official information until
this morning, and here 1t is. This texhib-
iting letter. is the report of the meeting
held by the A. A. Lodge on Saturday night.
You can read for yourself that it states the
men have declined the arrogant alternative
offered by the President Of the Company,
and have seeolxsd 10 hesa-esttor what they
originally struck work. As to men who
formerly made eight dollars q day being
compelled TO begin at the bottom OF the
Cleveland telegram published this morn
ing, the thing Is silly. II they 20 to work
il will be at their old jobs or not at all.
But as I have already stated, the decisioa
of the Saturday night meeting was to con-
tinue the strike for the original object, and
that is where the affair rests at present"
-.-.. Jarrett's Advice.
PrrrsBURsh, July 25.-Contrary to expec-
tation, the Cleveland strikers did not send
a committee to confer with President Jar
rett on the subject Of resuming work, but,
instead, wrote letter. which letter was
to-day received and answered by Mr.. Jar.
rett. According to that gentleman, the at
titude of the Cleveland members OF the
Association has been misrepresented. They
at no time countenanced any measures
looking towards an abandonment of their
membership and a return to work. On
Saturday evening they met and decided to
maintain their rights as members OF the
union. In their letter the Committee of
Conference asked for Mr.. Jsrretts views,
and he simply requested them to adhere to
their action OF Saturday and to refuse to
accept their old places at the expense OF
their manhood and their membership in
the Association. Mr.. Jarrett was emphatic
in his denunciation of the terms laid down
by Superintendent Chisholm of the Cleve.
land rolling mills. He was too bHsily en-
gagged at the time of the reportorial visit,
but evidently kept up a good bit OF think
ing on the subject.
Situation NJ McKeesport.
PITTSBURGH, July 25.-It seemed reason
able certain to-day that General Manager
Flagler, of the McKeesport Tube Works
had decided to do here what Superintend-
ent Chisholm, of the Cleveland rolling
mill, has accomplished in the Forest City.
The gentleman himself could not be seen
to-day, being in close conference with
Managers J. & E. c. Converse at McKees-
port. In reply to telephonic inquiry, he
stated that as yet there was nothing to re-
port as to the prospects of Starting the
rolling mill with non-uuion men. But In
conversation in this city yesterday he
made no secret of his intentions. The mill
had to be started at all hazards, and il the
old union men would not accept his invita-
tion to return he proposed to at least make
the attempt to start with non-union men.
Mr.. Flagler is regarded by those who know
him but as man Of sufficient determina-
ton to make desperate effort to carry out
his plan.
The Mill Has 1880 Names
upon their pay rolls, and besides large
establishment at McKeesport operates the
old Wharton mill, this city. The mill
operates 16 pudding furnaces only, worked
when on double turn by "a puddiers. The
main offices are in New York, and the com.
pany operates another but smaller mill
near Boston. The notice issued to the
strikers was shown President jarrett to-
day. Without expressing himself in as
many words, he seemed of the opinion that
Mr.. Flagler had not chosen the proper
method for reaching the members OF the
Amalgamated Association. The latter, he
said, had not and would not take any cog
nizance of this notice. The gentleman did
not care to express himself as to the posi-
BILE outcome OF the Mckeesport affair.
Meanwhile McKeesport is the center OF in

tude of the iron strike. The 24-hour limit
expired at noon to-day, and as near as can
be learned none of the workmen ayailed
themselves of Mr.. Flagler's invitation, and
there was no evidence that any part OF the
idle mill was starting up or proposing to
start up. -
RocHEsrER, n. Y, July 25.-There is
great disappointment over the labor situa-
ton and a quarrel inside the labor organi-
cations is possible. At q meeting OF the
Shoemakers' Union tonight motion will
be made to depose Mr.. Delongy, master
workman of this district The claim Is
made that he appointed the recent Arbitra-
tions Committee without authority. other
officers also will probably be removed. An
posed strikes, says that the disagreement OF
conference committees will result in trouble
for the workmen next winter. He says that
no lockout will occur, as the manufacturers
cannot afford to shut down, but the en-
ployers will have the men at disadyant-
age in winter and will force them TO terms.
He said that the appointment OF Delongy's
Committee was a mistake. Had all the
committeeman been shoemakers, instead
of one only, the Kelly trouble would have
been settled at the first meeting. A mem.
Der of the Employers Association says that
a lockout" will now take place. The en-
ployers do not propose to be dictated 70 by
Delongy, who says that Kellys former
hands must be given work at their old

Walton & Co.'S miners at West Elizabeth
have struck, because of requirement on
the part OF the firm TO deal at the com
panys stores. The miners president has
issued notice, forbidding miners to load
the barges of this firm. No new develop.
ments are reported in connection with the
Cleveland troubles.
AZ East Llverpool.
EAST LIVERPOOL, o., July 25.-The strik-
ing potters at East Liverpool may possibly
solve the troubles which have led TO q
strike. Mr.. Rankin, of the Knights OF
Labor, has received letter saying the men
have made the following proposition TO
their employers: That they will return TO
work upon the same understanding agreed
upon and in force June is, and that COM
mittee of workmen in each shop De ap.
pointed to arbitrate all differences that
may arise between employers and EN-.
ployed, each committee TO act for It's own
Shop, and no other, and their action TO be
final. The main point of difference Is thus
set aside, il is said, for the employers were
actuated in decidisg against the Knights
Of Labor on the grpnnd that the latter pro-
posed to settle differences through commit
tees appointed from other branches OF in
dustry. The proposition, ii Is further
thought, will staftup the idle white ware
factories in East Liverpool, and give work
to the 500 idle worlsmen- Mr.. Moore will,
to-day. take ont the first instalment OF the
relief fund, over 5000.
