Will Probably Shas Down.
CHICAGO. Nov. 20.-The propristors Of
rolling mills in this city and Joliet were
interviewed in regard to the statement
that they intended to abut down in a
short time. In the general tenor of tho
interviews they did not assert positively
that they would close out at q fixed, or
any future date, but as things looked
now they did not see how they could
continue to run without losing, and un-
less change in the situation occurred
they would probably be compelled to
close in January or February next. the
time being dependent on existing con-
tracts. In some mills they will run till
in January, others until February. They
say that with steel rails ct 345 per ton,
a reduction in the price of both labor
and ore would be necessary to secure
the mills from loss. In view of the
present cost of living and the general
feeling among iron workers, they can
not expect to secure reduction in tho
price Of labor; they will, therefore, for
a time, only run the mills to work up
the stock on hand, and fulfil existing
contracts, with view to being ready to
shut down when the proper time comes.
Fears are also expressed by some of the
propristors that the next Congress will
reduce the tariff on steel to an extent to
open the business to foreign companies.
The belief is expressed in some quar-
ters that this is q concerted movement
on the part Of the steel mill proprietors
of the West to influence public opinion
and prevent reduction of the tariff by
, Congress. Between 500 and GOO men
are employed here and in the mills at
Joliet.
