Running Smoothly and
Satisfactorily.

PiTsBRCGU, May Sat eleven oClocA
this morning the members OF the western
Nail Association held their regular month
ly meeting at their rooms on Fourth ave-
nue., and INDUCED in an informal talk for
over an hour. There was full attendance,
and at the close OF the session Secretary
Weeks said: "A short meeting was held,
but nothing OF unusual importance was
done. The reports presented showed some
thing OF speculative demand in the mar
ket, as buyers are eagerly placing large Or
ders for immediate delivery. 1t is evident
that the indications OF shat down on the
first of June is the cause OF this movement.
The card rate remains unchanged, and
there will be no stoppage OF the nail mills
during the present month at least"
The Miners Effort for settlement.
The officials of the Miners Association
state that the situation in the field remains
about the same, and that the men are mold
ing out in a manner that will insure them
success. In his letter TO the railroad Coal
Exchange, apprising them OF the position
Yesterday, Secretary Flannery says: 1--WE
will consider a proposition from you TO go
10 work, and be governed by the decree OF
the tribunal" This morning Judge Col
lier issued license "for the creation OF
tribunal for the settlement OF disputes IN
the coal trade within this district, but as
il is conditioned upon the assent OF a num-
Der of employees it is not likely that any
further steps will be taken in that dlrec::
ton soon. At noon to-day a meeting OF
miners was held at Buelah church, near
Williamsburg to make an effort TO get out
the men of the union mines. A meeting
| was a nnOunced for Mansfield at three
o'clock this afternoon.
Busy Iron Workers.
New CASTLE, Pa, May 9.-Never before
were the rolling mills in New Castle run
| Every department OF Refs Bros and the
Htna mills is on full time double turn,
| with orders enough on hand to insure

lv. The iron workers are now working
| full time; in fact at our place (-Etna)
| enough iron cannot be procured to run on
sny greater scale, and the iron workers OF
New Castle are perfectly contented; 1t was

not say which side would give in, but such
remarks coming from gentleman

Not So Gloomy
as has been pictured. Little thought is

| know lust how leading iron workers con-
| sidered the matter of the proposed reduc-

several gentlemen who have been life
long and honCred members OF trades
| unions and was gratitied to learn from
them that in their estimation there would
be no strike this summer, but these gen.
tlemen would not state whether the en-
| ployers or the employees would yield. On
| being questioned prominent memberand
| officer Of the Amagamated association eX-
! pressed himself thus: The people can
rest assured that there will be no difficult
ty whatever, and the talk OF a strike in this
| district is all nonsense. The men are too
sensible for this. Matters will be Satistac-
torily adjusted when the proper time ar
| rives.
