THE LABOR QUESTION.
Meeting of the Western Iron Association
at Pittshurg.


PITTsBURG, August l6.-The Western
Iron Association met in this city to-day, and
from the action taken 1t is certain that the
backbone of the manufacturers is as stiff
now as 1t was at the beginning of the great
iron strike. st. Louis and Cincinnati were
not represented, while Wheeling, the Shen-
| ango and Mahoning Valleys and Pitssburp
were on hand In full force.
Alter providing for proper and effective
presentation of the views of the trade before
the Tariff Commission by the appointment
oi committee the strike was taken up
After long and earnest discussion the
Association re-affirmed its former action
and refused to sign the scale. It was further
agreed that, wherever practicable, all mills
should be started up with nOn-union men.
The Wheeling delegation reported that
the manufacturers of that district had
unanimously determined that hereafter they
would not pay the advance for pudding
heretofore paid over that called for by the
Pittsburg scale. They also reported that
twas their intention to lower the prices
paid nailers in certain departments.
One of the oldest manufacturers In this
district said tonight that If the Amalga-
mated men refused to go TO work under the
old scale general attempt would be made
by manufacturers to start up with nom
union men in all districts within the iuris-
diction of the Iron Association. In brief, If
the men refuse to come down the manufac-
turers would ignore the Amalgamated Asso-
citation as body and long, tough fight
would follow.
CUMBERLAND, Md, August 16.-Local

An invading host of mosquitoes reached
us Saturday from the marshes along the
Baysides, and they are still abiding with us.
People down the meek" say they have not
seen them SO bad for twenty years. Stock
suffers terribly, and farm laborers find it
difficult to fight the mosquitoes and do their
work. They are the result of the week of
easterly winds the first of the month which
drove the tide up and left pools OF stagnant
water all over the marshes. They usually
run their course in II week or ten days.
