vicinity, by which it agreed that in consideration
of the mOwners paying till June L, 1892 prices which
10 per cent above Ptsburg prices, the workmen
should thereafter receive the prices Were paid
at Pttsburg but in the event Of scale being agreed
upon Pttsburg June l. 1882, then prices should
remain they were prior to June /, 1881 until the
Pittsburg prices should be fixed Pitsburg having
fixed 40 scale, the mll-owners here claim that
the provision Of tho contract for that contingency
should govern, aud late last night many OF them be-
lieved that the would be guided by it and would
continue at work. But tOday's action shows dsposi'
