PrrrsnuRon, July IA gentleman who
participated In the manufacturers meet
ing yesterday, said this morning the i'm
preston that n new move Is to be made |.
erroneous. at was regular meeting
said he, "the date OF which was fixed some
time ngo, and was not called with any
special reference 10 new Developments. OF
course the manufacturers will not continue
iii this state Of inactivity for any grca,
length OF time, but We don't care TO make
u move for the next two months. We are
all determined to hold out and thus mat.
tiers will stand for some time yet"
1t is given upon good authority that one
gentleman who made speech at the meet.
ing strongly urged the members to hold
their positions, saying: "If you surrender
now, 1t will take the next twenty years 10
recover the ground you have thus for
gained"
Some OF the Amalgamated Association
men claim the adjustment n, lronton was
not u compromise, but that the firm uncon.
ditionally granted the demand and signed
the scale for q year, with the understand.
ing that the non.union men already at
work should be uumolested aud allowed
10 remain. This was not received through
official channels, but the one who made
tho assertion claims 10 have received
special information. Tho strikers in this
district point 10 the Ironton mill rs an
Illustration OF their argument that compe.
tent labor cannot be got outside OF The
union and they seem more confident that
the mills in this region now running with
that class OF workmen will in the end be
compelled to give up the experiment. A
great many persons think that the
scale will be signed at the Tenth street mill
OF Oliver Bros. & Phillips before lon. Al
that place one Of the departments was
started this week after being s;opped for
some time. 1t is said that the stock OF
manufactured iron Is not sufficient to last
three weeks. and 1t is the impression
among the workers that the firm would not
have started their bolt department with
the intention OF running so short time.
4 tour among the iron men to-day de.
veloped the fact that yesterdays meeting
had braced up their nerves and strength
ened the weak ones. In every instance
the reply came: eve are more united
than ever, and yesterdays. meeting has
drawn us closer than before"
a member who was present had this to
say; :,
There was resolution offered in YES.
terdays meeting which showed the feeling
that animated members. 1t provided for
the appointment OF committee 10 meet A
similar committee, which. il was under.
stood, would be sent BY the Amalganated
Association Tor arbitration. This resolu.
ton was subsequently withdrawn, but its
appearance evoked n storm OF disapprob,-
ton. The member offering it explained
that he simply wished to draw out the
feeling OF the Association in the matter,
and he certainly did. Evidently not 4
single man was in oyor OF permitting the
impression TO 20 abroad that the manufac.
turers were in favor OF arbitration or com.
promise" So
President jarrett was also seen, and in
answer TO the question whether the Anal
eanated Association favored arbitration
oil any kind, said:
No, we have nothing to arbitrate, II
the manufacturers wish to appear before
the Senate Committee on Labor, which
will be here, it is all right, We shall be
represented also. But as have said, there
is nothing 10 arbitrate, and there is no way
scale" = al
The situation to-day is unchanged, and
from the above interview the prospects OF
an early settlement are very small. ---
