CINCINNATI, June 1.-The relations be-
tween the mill owners and workmen here
differ from most places in this: That a
year ago formal contract was entered into
by Committee representing the working
men belonging tot the Amalgamated Union
of Iron and Steel Workers and all the mill
owners of this city and vicinity, by which
it was agreed that, in consideration of the
mill owners paying the price till June /,
1882, which was 10 per cent above Pittsburg
prices the workmen should hereafter receive
the same prices as were paid at Pittsburg
but in the event that no scale was agreed on
at Pittsburg on June l, 1882, then the prices
were to remain as they were prior
to June 1, 1881, until II ts-
burg prices were fixed. Pittsburg having
| fixed no scale the mill owners here
claim that the provision of the Court for
that contingency should govern, and late
last night many of them believed the men
would be guided by it and would continue
| at work. But today's action shows dis
position to repudiate that agreement, as the
men In all the mills but three stopped
work The steel mill owners do not regard
the strike as formidable, from the fact that
| it has no sanction from the headquarters of
the Amalgamated Union. Mr.. Avery, the
Vice President of the Union, is at work to-
| day, so, also, are Mr.. SOmmers, Secretary of
| the Committee of workmen that made the
contract above mentioned and Mr.. Sanders,
one OF the leading men among the Union
men. These men, by this course, show in
| the strongest manner possible their disap-
proval of the attitude of the ma
jority of the workmen. The mill of the
Anchor Iron and Steel Works is at work
to-day with full force of men, and Mitch
ell Tranter are at work, but the puddlers
are on a strike at the mill of B. Benjamin,
which does not employ many men. Also
the working force of the Cincinnati Rolling
| Mill, employing 200, are at work. Their
method of work being somewhat different
| from the majority of mills, it leaves them
out of the trouble. The total number of
men out by the strike is about / ,500 Chas.
| Avery, Vice President of the Amalgamated
Association for this District has telegraphed
to President Jarrett, asking him to come to
help settle the matter at a meeting called
for Friday night. Mr.. Avery, in converse
ton, says the action of the men here is
surprise, and that he thinks the matter can
be adjusted by Monday.
| CINCINNATI, June 1.-Except one rolling
mill, which works scrap-iron exclusively,
and two mills which are working up three
or four days accumulation of blooms, all
| the mills in Cincinnati and vicinity have
Il
all will resume next Monday and that
| complete adjustment will be made.
