PtrrsuUEdH, August 22s.-ft was out Of
the question to-day to evolve anything in.
teresting in the iron situation. President
Jarrett returned home last evening, but
had no news to give. lie spoke freely on
the question OF the rumors that had gained
currency regarding the want ani dcstitu.
ton OF members Of the Association. lie
had made it a point to closely question
members on the subject and failed in every
case to disclose any case OF want. As re.
CARDS the. situation Mt Youngstown, Mr..
Jarrett stated tliHt there was nothing to
tell. The men were firm and SO were Brown
Bonnell & Co., and that so far, the latter
had not been able to engage any workmeu
on the terms proposed; they might in time
obtain mem, but evidently Mr.. jarrett was
not saguine on that point. AT Mckeesport
he beiievedthat not more than three fur.
naccs were mt work, though report placed
the number ut ten. ~ a.
Regarding the stoppage OF the Bessemer
Steel Works, Mr.. Smith, OF the firm in
question, had little to say. That little suf-
ticed to dispose OF rumors relative to causes
at work. The converting department it
was found necessary to close, and this
throwing out the rail mill it was d, enel
best to close the entire mill for short
time. The gentleman emphaticaliy denied
that the Union or non. Unionism had any
thing to DO with the stoppase. The rumor
given yesterday was II widespread one,
however, and resulted in call ut the Office
by Homestead tradesmen who desired light
on the subject They retired apparently
satisfied. g 5I y.
81 President Jarrett, who was in his accus.
toned place ut the Ar,algamatcd Associa.
ton rooms this morning, expressed him.
self very decidedly in reference TO the allie.
cations recently made that he is in opposi.
tiou TO the strike. In order to set himself
slnareiy before the public, he made state.
nient as follows, with the request that it be
published:
al want you to give this fact Just as
tell you. Il have never been opposed 10
the strike since the first OF June. The
statements in reference to my having talk
cd against the strife prior TO that time are
MI right, but no man can trnthfully state
tha. l have said Il word since June J.,
which indicated disposition on my part
to seek compromise or surrender. Hereto.
fore bayc kept quiet in regard TO my per.
sonal opinion Of the fight, but when
ey.oilicers and others have spoken so
freely, it is time should say word The
member who statei that l on last Thurs.
day advised the mon 10 give Ip, tells lie,
and If ne is not afraid to have his name
known, let him come ont and produce one
OF the men whom | so advised. Some
have come 10 me, asking whether l did
no. consider it d battle lost. but. inyari.
ably told them thst would not lose con.
fdence while one ray OF hope remained. l
have even opposed the conditional signing
OF the scale in every instance where II has
ever been done, as wns in favor OF having
it signed straight or not Mt all. One day
last week number Of our men came to
tho Office and requested me 10 call a dis.
tr;et conyention. rsfAsed on the grounds
that It was unnecessary. i1if THAT look
like the action Of y man who was eagerly
awaiting M opportunity to compromised |
want it distinctly understood that. faye
no thought Of giving up; do not consider
the strikers whipped, and have not los!
hope Of our ultimate success. " 90
