Some Of tho iron workers seen this
morning were disposed to take rather 81 q
dismal view Of the situation, but the;
greater number seemed confident that they
will yet come out all right. All VIII, were

Another gentleman speaking OF the in;
iiuence OF the Leechbufg affair on tho gen.
eral strike said: at is mistake to regard
the concession there rs u back down on
the part oil the association. In one OF these
country mills n man can do more work!
during the summer than he could Sin any
city mill, because there Is always q cool
breeze blowing, which enables them To-
stand the heat of the furnace. For that
reason the men can afford to accept lover
wages for the time .s!f ~ /

boys will not be willing TO 60 back on their
agreement, because many Of them are
ready to work at last years prices and are
not in favor Of the strike
Many persons predict thatthe ,finishers''S,
convention on Monday will result in n /
split from the association. This is denied
by members OF the organization, sand Sec;
retary Martin in his card said ttat ,tsthoosos

1t is stated on good authority that the;
Youngstown men, who. held n meeting last;
evening, instructed Intercollegiate to vote
for cessation Of tho strike. 1T Is evident
that the finishing men will demand equal
representation with:the pnddlers. ss5;
