ofperfecting thorough organization, mucl,
more perfect and compact than at any pre-

AT Amalgamated headquarters there was
nothing new OF interest reported this
morning. The Ashland (Ky.) mill, which
continued to work on the new scale upon
promise to sign when the question should
be finally settled, is reported US shut down.
At headquarters this report was thought to
be very probable, inasmuch rs it had be.
come apparent some days ago that the
company would not keep the promise.
The impression was that the nail depart
ment had struck work on this account, the
Manager evidently having determined
to work up the stock on hand, with no in
tention Of putting the puddlcrs to work.
The statement published in the morn.
ing papers to the effect that the Superior
mill, Kloman's, was prepared to start
up with non-Union hands, was laughed to
scorn at A. A. headquarters. An attempt
was made TO roll some iron yesterday, IN
association man said, but the output was
not such as would be sought after with
avidity at higher than card rates., Mr..
kloman, who is well known for energy OF
practical sort, acted rs roller, the stable
boss as buggyman, muck shearman as
heater, the private watchman as fireman,
and two shipping clerks helped at the
rolls. The work went bravely but not
skiIfully on, as would naturally be expect
ed when only the roller, Of the entire crew,
was trained in mill polyglot, so to speak.
Whether it arose from this want OF prac.
tice, or the cooling OF the iron in spots by
the profuse perspiration on the part OF Mr..
kloman's immediate assistants, was not
definitely stated by the Association folks,
but they assert that the days result con.
sisted OF seven charges, five Of which were
cooked too much by the heater and two
spoiled in the rolling. ~. n. ;z557 ;,zi.57
A visit was made to the Superior mill
this morning to observe how far the ANAL
gamated Association Information on yes
terday's trial ut the rolls was humorous
and how much fact. In answer to ques.
ton rs to how matters were progressing,
Mr.. kloman replied: "Oh, as well as we
hoped. We have sixty men working in
the departments, and expect in a very
shcft time to get all we need without the
assistance OF the Amalgamated Association.
The plate mill is running single turn, and
