is a part of the stamping works of the Lied
ringhaus Bros, this city, have accepted the
proposition of their old employees to resume
work at Cincinnati prices and have given Or
ders to have their mill got ready for work as
soon as possible, which will probably be on
July 5, and 800 will return to work under this
arrangement. 1t is reported that similar
proposition will be sent to the proprietors of
Laclede rolling mill this week.
AT PITTSBURGH.
PITTSBURGH, June 25.-The labor solution
has not been prolific of news for the past few
days. Both sides in the iron strike are firm
aud appear to have settled down for a long
fight. The latest rumors concerning the
trouble is that the Ktna iron works will
shortly resume with non-union men. The
mills now in operation with non-union men
are reported to be getting along very fairly
and turning out good work.
One engineer said, eve think we ought to
have a slight increase in our pay, but this is
no time to prefer any such demandsS and
know no proposal to 60 out has been discus
sed in our councils for some time.
We understand as we'll as the
officers themselves that the railroads
are not earning large revenues at present, and
it would not be advisable in our brotherhood
to agitate any demand at this time, but times
will improve and the roads may again enjoy
the prosperity that attended their operations
two years ago and then have no doubt our
order will ask for an increase in pay.
