PITTsBURG, June 5.-The discovery Of
straws, which may or may not show the
way the wind blows, we're the only incl
dents in this city Of the struggle
between the iron manufacturers of the
West and the Amalgamated Association.
The majority of these were of character
calculated to strengthen the confidence in
the predictions of the strikers that the
struggle will be short and end in a victory
for their side week before the strike
commenced Oliver Bros. & Phillips, who
employ $500 men, and are the
largest manufacturers of specialties
in the country, ordered repairs in
their works which wnnld rennire. three
months to complete. Yesterday 1t was
stated on good authority that the greater
part of this order was countermanded, and
they will be ready to resume operations
within q month. Other manufacturers
have also countermanded orders fer exten-
siye repairs, and very general feeling pre-
walls among those to whom these c1rcum-
stances have been reported, that, while the
manufacturers of this district want to re-
sist the demands for an advance, and
will hold out if those Of other
districts do likewise, they have de-
termined not to allow outside manufac-
tureIs to get the better Of them, and If they
see any disposition of a general break else
where will be quick to follow suit, and will
produce enough iron to hold their trade.
As vet, however, all profess to be firm and
asseverate that if the outside firms will hold
out as long as originally intended; which is
until the Amalgamated Association reduces
from its present position, they will be well
satisfied. 1t is stated that .one firm has
already been compelled to buy eastern iron
to fill its contracts, and that more are SINH
larly circumstanced.
The manufacturers are making complaint
about the course of the Amalgamated AS
sociation. They say the association at the
Convention held in Cleveland last August |
adopted resolution that all mills in the |
West should close down on June lst unless |
the scale was signed in Pittsburg on that |
date. Thisresolution has not been carried out |
because certain western members of the |
association are working. They also say |
the Association, during the present |
troubles, has committed breaches OF faith |
in two instances. The first was the advance |
in the scale and the second was the action |
of the Cincinnati men who want to go back |
on the agreement made last year, with |
their employers.
There have been many wild estimates OF |
the number of strikers. The tendency even |
of careful persons is to exaggerate in such |
cases. Secretary Weeks OF the Western |
Iron Association made q careful estimate |
of employees in all iron west Of the ALLIE |
gheny mountains. Here is the result:

A FALSE ALARM.
More Railroads Building now Than
Last Year.

PITTsBURG, June 5.-Some of the manu-
facturers give as a reason for refusing to
sign the new scale, of wages presented them
by the e.Amalgamated workmen, the alleged
fact that the cessation of railway construc-
ton has eaten into their business; yet the
Railway Age says in regard to railway con-
struction and extension in these few months
of 1872:
Early in the beginning of the present
wear the impression began to prevail that
the construction of new railways in this
country had for time practically ceased,
the result, it was believed, of a natural re-
yulsion from the furor for extensions
which had characterized 1881. That year,
il will be remembered, was noted for the
construction of far greater railway mile
age than any previous year in the history
OF the country, aggregating between 1900
and 10000 miles. This seemed to be adding
10 our railway system at an excessive and
unwarranted rate, and il was assumed that
a marked decrease would ensue. Thus far,
however. this year these predictions have
not been justified, but, on the contrary,
strange to say, the mileage OF new roads
already completed is far greater than dur
ing the same period for any previous year,
and considerably more than twice as great
as that for the first FIVE months OF 1881

erty VIII be Sold Improvement OF
the Shenandoah.
Special Dispatch 10 the ReoiSter.
WASHINGTON, June 5.-A large delegation
from Harper's Ferry, with Hon. D. B.
Lucas and Hon. w. H. Trayers, of Charles
town, arrived here this morning, in the in.
terest of the the sale of government prop
erty at Harper's Ferry, and the improve
ment of the Shenandoah river, accompan-
led by Representative Hoge. The delega-
ton called on Solicitor OF the Treasury
Raynor. Their interview was protracted
and very satisfactory one, and the proba-
bilities are that an early arrangement will
be made for the sale of the property.
The Government will be relieved of an
improbable and expensive ownership, and
the citizens of that war-ridden place will,
when this property is made valuable i'm
provemcnt. for the first time since the war
see the coming in of new era. "a
The trouble all along has been that the
Treasury officials have been rating the
at TOO nigh price, while Mr..
Hoge, since he has been in Congress, has
been endeavoring to convince the Govern
ment that the property is comparatively
as there will probably never be
an armory there or any other government
works built there. Acting upon that idea,
the difficulty in the way about the disposi-
ton of the property on the part of the gov
eminent seems to be lessening.
The appropriations for the improvement
of the Shenandoah river have been as un-
AVAILABLE because OF provision which pre-
rented their expenditure until certain out
standing franchises are surrendered to the
United States. Through active agency Of
Messrs. Lucas and Travers that has been
lone, and the papers were this morning
to the Attorney General for ex-
animation.
Ifapproved by him, all difficulty in the
yay of commencing work upon the i'm
will be removed. This is a
mere matter of form, as it is believed that
he papers are satisfactory. G..

RAILROAD MATTERS.


DEFIANCE o., June 5.-The Baltimore q
Ohio Company attempted to switch side
track for Marshall's stave factory into the
private siding Of the Turnbull Wagon
Company, this morning. The blowing OF
the Wagon Company's whistle brought
hundreds to the scene. Turnbull ordered
his men to tear up the switch and replace
the old track. The Baltimore men, being
in the minority, had to yield. Intense ex.
element prevailed. The presence of the
Mavor and police prevented a riot. 1t is
thought the railroad men may attempt TO

Injunction at midnight Until that time
the citizens anxiously await developments.
Turnbull has force of men on guard. His
proposition to sell his interest in the siding
