GLOOMY Outlook for the Iron
Trade - Eight Thousand MeH
TnrDsyn out Of Employment
plrfsbuRoH Pa, Nov 1.-THE
yorkmeu in our iron mills are filled
with the gloomest forebodings and ap-
prehensions for the future BY the an
nouncement tonight that a number OF
mills had closed down, owing to lack of
orders and the general unsatisfactory
condition Of the iron trade. The mills
referred to were three owned by Oliver
Bros.. and Phillips, the Superior
Rail Mill, operated by Kloman,
heirs and Moorehead, & McLean's
puddlinp department. While Shoen-
b ,roer & Co notified their en-
ployes that after Monday the mill would
run single instead Of double turns. BY
these suspensions over 5000 men are
thrown out OF employment just at the
beginning OF winter, and fears are enter
tained that II the trade does not improve
very soon, others will be obliged to close
down also. The only reason assigned for
the suspension is lack OF orders and pre-
vailing low prices. Oliver Brothers &
Phillips say that they may resume In a
few days, but cannot tell. Otherf say
they will not start up until the trade
shows considerable improvement. A
special from Johnstown, Pa, tonight.

their FIVE thousand employees that Dec

be reduced ten per cent, owing to de-
