Special Dispatch 30 The BEE.
PIrrsBURa, May 4-The action 81
the conference committees OF the Iron
manufacturers and the Amalgsmated
association yesterday In adjourning
sine die without any satisfactory
agreement having been reached makes
q strike on June 1,t at this time ap.
pear inevitable. Both sides are firm
and express determination to hold
out. The committee of iron manu-.
facturers consider their work com.
plete, and cay that II the workmen
desire another conference they will
have to make the request and another
committee be appointed.
Manufacturers say that they cannot
run the mills with a profit ct the pres
ent wages and prefer to shut down
rather than sign the scale presented
By the amslgamated association. In
event Of q strike the manufacturers
claim that their strength will be
greater and that of the workingmen
weaker than last year. The trade Is
such that suspension would be a
benefit, besides since the non. union
plants have started up all yer the
country and are running successfully
and II q strike occurs these could bs
relied upon to supply pressing de.
msnds tor an indefinite time unless a
radical Improvement Of trade occurs
Ga the other hand the employees
say that the trade Is not 40 bad
as the iron masters would have the
public and them believe, and instead
Of being weaker they would be
stronger than when the last strike
occurred, the reduction proposed be-
Ing so general Is to cement the ranks
and prevent desertion.
In the miners strike the only new
feature to day was the returning to
work Of the men In one pit at the
reduction. One of the tfi ,ials says
that the action Of these few will have
no effect upon the general result, as o
break Is Insignificant, and that 1t must
be expected that q small number OF
weaker ones would be found among
30 many strikers.
