Speefdl Correspondence Of the Sunday hegta6'
SrEuBENvILLE, o., August l9.-For q
week past good deal of talk has been in
dulged in by those of the striking land
throyed out of work by the strikers,) en-
ployes OF the Jefferson Iron Works, In this
city, in regard 20 the situation, and as the
strike grows older the dissatisfaction among
them becomes more apparent. A promi-
nent mailer said last evening in crowd
where the matter was being discussed:
There should be a lay PISSED IN thls

or the Western Iron Association. 1t Is wrong
for both employer and employe to be striy-
ing against each others interest when
neither can thrive without mutual aid.
Yes. sir, it should be made crime for any
man, either capitalist or machine, 10 en-
roll himself under the banners OF such as
sociations" The action of the Western
Iron Association at Pittsburgh, yesterday
with regard to filling up their mills with
non. union men is causing good zeal Oh
excitement among the men; some nam
tanning that it cannot be done, while others
with cooler heads and better judgment, sec
that such state of affairs could exist At
any rate beth union and non-union
men here would like to resume work
Law and Order.
Last spring the peaceable citizens OF this
city, becoming tired of so much crime and
law-breaking as there was then going on
in this city at that time, called a public
meeting OF citizens to take some action
whereby the Mayor and city officers should
receive hearty cooperation and support In
| their endeavors to enforce the law. The
meeting was held and twelve citizens were
| appointed as a Committee Of Public Safety.
Alter the committee was appointed 1t was
| expected that the men who constituted II
| would help to root out "dens OF iniquity
| and sich," but such was not the case. After
a quarrel with the City Council, who, they
| claim, would give them no aid, the com
| mittee sunk into oblivion. The reason we
hecanse there is "sink-hole o
crime, 4" on South Sixth district, this city
and within a stones throw of the residence
of a member of the Committee OF Public
Safety, where vice holds full sway, anc
where not a night passes but the air is rem
with long and loud curses from the inmate
and customers of the place; where only,
| few NIGHTS since son Of the woman wh(
runs the den drew revolver and fired tw'
shots at his 14-year-old sister which foI
tupately did not take effect; and where RI
yolyer firing is so common that it is dan
eerous for citizens in that neighborhood :
be in their yards or on the street, IN
place should certainly be abolished ana
is the duty of the member OF the {. OF re-
for that was the object in appointing sal
committee-to make such lniormauoh
will lead to the abolition of the place. Z
| ..L., &c tha rea;dents of that seCtio
hold the same opinion.
