A serious state OF Affairs In Ssv.
ersl lsectiODs-LaDOr and Capital
At Issue.
P1rTsBuRG, June This morning
the warfare between labor and capital
began in dead earnest. The fires In
every iron mill in this city, with one
exception, have been put out; and the
mills shut down. The one exception is
tLe Union Iron Mills of Carnegie Bros.
& Co., who signed last night. They
will continue to run, having contracts
on hand that must be filled. This is
generally considered bad break, and
is calculated to weaken the lines of
the manufacturers. 1t Is one Of the
largest iron mills here, and has capa.
city of $4,000 tons year. The steel
mills are running as usual, most OF
them having signed the scale, but as
they do not employ many peuddlers, It
is not thought that their running will
have any effect on the situation. 1t Is
expected that most of the sheet ironmills
will sign within o few days. 1t is gem
or ally believed that the strike will be
of long duration. Those mills which
have suspended operations will take ad.
vantage of the condition of affairs to
make needed repairs.
YOUNGSTOWN, o., June 1.-The mills
here are all shut down, though the fur
naces, as a rule, have not yet gone out
of blast. Everything is quiet and
orderly. The opinion prevails that the
strike will be long one.
II
June 1.-The men at the lrondale mills
are out on strike. A dispatch has
been received from President Jarrett
of the Amalgamated Association Of
lronworkers, stating that he will be
here to-day. The question whether
they will coutinue the strike or not will
probably be settled on his arrival
There is no disturbance, although about
1900 men have quit work.
| CINCINNATI, June With the ex'
ception of one rolling mill, which WORKS
scrap iron exclusively, and two mills
which are working up three or foul
days accumulation of blooms, all tn.
mills in Cincinnati and vicinity hav,
stopped. The mill-owners believe thai
all will resume next Monday, and thai
a complete adjustment will be made,
The relations between mill ownerl
and workmen here differ from mos
places in this, that a year ago forma
contract was entered into between {
committee representing the workmel
belonging to the Amalgamated Uniol
of Iron and Steel Workers and all tn,
mill-owners in this city and vicinity
by which it was agreed that in consid
Grafton of the mill-owners paying til
June l, 1882, prices which were ten pei
cent. above Pittsburg prices, the work
men should thereafter receive the SAM
prices as we're paid at PittsburR OF
June l, 1882, then prices should remain
prior to June /, 1881, until the Pitts
fburg prices should be fixed. Pittsburl
having fixed no scale, the mill owner
here claim that the provision OF th'
contract for that contingency shoult
govern, and late last night many o
them believed the men would be guild
ed by it, and would continue at work
But to days action shows disposition
to repudiate that agreement.
SPRINGF1ELD, H., June l. - TIL
threatened strike, the danger OF whicl
was supposed to be over here for tn
present, began this evening, and tn
rolling mills are now shut down. Tn
stoppage throws 1000 persons out of em
ployment.
| WHEELING, W. Va, June Al
the nail mills of this city have shu
down, and expect to remain closed TO
an indefinite period. There appears t
be no disposition whatever on the par
of the manufacturers to start them un
til the situation has radically changed
They express themselves as resolutel
!. determined not to pay the advanc
asked.
| CLEVELAND, June IA special fror
Wellsville, O., reports that the put
dlers in Woods Rolling mill struck tt
day because the proprietors refused
sign the scale. A number of the,
afterwards relented and wished TO r.
turn to work, but were not allowed.
