of Pittsburgh-ihe Causes That Led 10
...H.t ~ tho Trouble.

PlrrsBuRou, April 16.-Two deeds OF as
signment were placed on record in the
Recorders Office this morning. One was
an assignment Of james Marshall & Com
pany to George /. Whitney; the other Of
James Marshall TO George 1. Whitney.
The deeds Of assignment set out that James
Marshall & Company, and James Marshall,
by reason Of sundry losses and misfortunes,
are at present unable to discharge their
past debts, and are willing to assign all
their property for the benefit Of their cred
itors to George I. Whitney.
The failure OF this well.known firm is a
surprise to the trade generally, as It was
supposed that it had sufficient backing 10
weather almost any storm. Il has been in
business for many years, and was always
looked upon as one Of the substantial iron
dealing firms OF the city.
Mr.. James Marshall, the founder OF the
firm, was a brother Of Hon. Thomas M.
Marshal, and was one OF the best known
men in Allegheny for many years. He was
President OF Select Council years ago. and
after that supplied the city with immense
quantities OF iron pipe. '4''
The cause OF the failure Is that the firm
has speculated too extensively in iron.
For more than q year past they have been
buying iron at prices ranging from $50 to
$50 in anticipation OF a rlsei in prices which
did not come. The dullness Of trade after
the long strike and then the uncertainty in
regard 10 what Congress would do with the
tariff, affected this firm as it did all others.
The expected advance after the new tariff
bill was passed did not come, and for
months the concern has been borrow.
ing money on the immense stock OF
iron it held in the warehouse Of the
Union Storage Company. The banks OF
Pittsburgh ethe largest creditors, but they
will lose little or nothing as they collateral
for their loans, which will realize the
amount OF paper held by them. Among
the other creditors are Hogsett, Hanna &
Co., OF Uniontown; Fairchance Furnace
Company, Fayette &C.; Brown, Receiver oil
Brown, Bonnell & Co., Of Youngstown; the
Dunbar Furnace Company, Marshall Bros,
Of Philadelphia, and the Rockhill Furnace
Company. These firms all have claims for
iron furnished.
Accountants are now at work on the
books, and until a statement Is completed
no definite idea OF the condition OF affairs
can be had, but 1t is known that the liabil.
tiles will be at least 100000, The assets
consist chiefly Of the stock OF iron on hand
which is worth from $l76, 900 to $500, 900.

The Employees side.
Plr1sDuRGH, April l6.-There has been
considerable growing among some OF the
employees at the Oliver wire mill Of late, in
regard to theway they have been compelled
to work. One day they wsuld have work,
and then would be compelled TO lay idle
for probably a week. The men put up
with this, ,as they ln.wit was nobody's fault,
as the trouble was always caused by
the breaking OF the engine, or shaft. On
Saturday the trouble came 10 a crisis. A
gang Of men, numbering probably S5, were
ordered to report for work yesterday (Sun-
day. and were informed that they would
be expected to work l2 hours to make the
day, and that the wages would be the same
Us paid for an ordinary week days work OF
10 Ohours. The men refused to comply with
these orders, and, with the single ex-
ception OF one man, nobody went to
work yesterday. The men reported
for daty this morning at the usual
hour, when they were informed that their
services were no longer required" The
employees seem to think great deal OF
wrong has been done them, and say they

NAIL PEE0gns' STRIKE.
The Apprentice BOY Question Causes
Trouble nj shoeBbcrger's Factory.

PITTSBURGH, April l5.-This morning q
strike wasinauguated at Shoenberger's nail
factory, which was little out OF the usual
order OF such affairs, from the fact that the
origin Of the trouble cannot, as usually is
the case, be attributed to any action Of the
firm, and that the trouble was between two
factions OF workmen.
Last week two boys were put 10 work in
the factory as apprentices, but they had
been at work but short time when there
was protest against their employment
from a large numbess OF the feeders, and in
order to avert trouble the twoa apprentices
were temporarily suspended. But at a
meeting Of Union Lodge No. AZ, A. A. of l.
& S. W., composed Of inailers and nail feed.
ers, it was decided that the boys could 20
to work. Accordingly they put in an ap-
pearance this morning. Tie action OF the
Amalgamated Lodge did not settle the
question to the satisfaction OF all con.
cerned, aud when the boys were put
to work fifteen OF the nail feeders,
who workman spoken to classed as tout.
siders," struck and refused TO work unless
the apprentices were sent away. The ques
ton OF their employment was argued be.
tween the men, and after half lfhours talk,
some Of the opponents OF the boys decided
to let them remain, and went to work.
There were few, however, who were no,
so easily satisfied, and they left the factory
and subsequently applied at zug's for EN-:
ployment. But as soon as the last named
firm learned that there was strike al
Shoenberger's, the men were informed
that they could not go to work. TbisaC,ion
was taken by Zag & Co. for the reason that
they thought it would be discourteous to
employ the men when there was any
trouble existing.
The nail feeder who gave the informa.
ton 10 a reporter who called at Sboenber.
gers, stated that the employment Of the ap.
prentices was not in violation OF the rules
Of the Nailers' Union, as the requirements
were that the number OF apprentices taken
in annually should be two per cent Of the
number OF men employed in a factory.
The mailer also stated that he expected all
the men who are still out would return to
work,
