THE AVERTEO STRIKE.
The Probable Result Of the Adjust
ment Between Capital and LsbOr.


ment Between Capital and LebOr.
PHILADELPHIA June S.--The Ironage has
the following on the averted strike:
The threatened stoppage Of the Pitts
burgh rolling mills having been aVeroed Dy
the action or the manufacturers IN renew
ing the old scale or wages, 1t may not De
amss to inquire into the elect oil last
years idleneSs upon the production OF nm
ished iron in that section. Ii is authorlta-
lively stated that the Immediate cause OF
the decision of the Pittsburgh iron manu-
facturers to withdraw their resolution to re-
duce wages, and thus TO avoid stopping
their mills, was the knowledge that their
Western competitors intend to continue to
operate their rolling mills on conditional
agreements with their hands, and even in
some cases on the basis OF the old scale.
Much of the Trade
of Pittsburgh would have been diverted 10
other quarters, and il is well known that
il is difficult 10 regain trade whic has been
lost The bad effect Of last years stop
page, when many competing mills were
stopped, would thus have been intensified.
To arrive IN some measure at the extent OF
the evil consequences OF long cessation
OF work by the Pittsburgh mills, 1t IS only
necessary to group few figures from the
sta llStlCS recently pWplISltu Wy AhC .h''tSiA-
0an Iron and Steel Association.
Ii the atstics OF the production of roll
ell iron except rails, in the whole country
be taken, the effect of the strike in 1882
upon the Pittsburgh iron trade will also
be very plainly shown.
The Total Production
OF the United States in 1882 was 200, ,J5I
tons as against 9 l55. $40 tons in 1881, which
shows that the strike did not cause de.
crease in the production OF tie country at
large, but that on the contrary, there was
an increased yield of ll0,6il tons. 1T did,
however cause a decrease in PennSyl Sania
very nearly 10000 tons, and in Western
Pennsylvania it caused a decrease OF S95I3
tons.
Here. then, is very significantly shown
the result of last years four months stop
page. 1t benefited other sections Of the
country, and very uufavordbly affected
Pittsburgh and its vicinity.
The Decrease
in lSS2. as compared with 1881, amounted
to l5 per cent, which is a very large slice
TO be taken from the trade OF year. OF
course, the diversion of trade from Pitts.
burgh to Eastern mills was matter OF
only temporary effect. That trade natur.
ally belonged to the district west of the
Allegheny Mountains, and il was ready to
return TO Pittsburgh as soon as the mills
there resumed operations. If the Pitts.
burgh mills had closed several months
this year, however and their Western com
petitors had continued in operation the
diversion of trade would have been much
more serious matter, as it would perhaps
have been permanent in many cases.

VARIOUS OPINIONS
In Regard TO the Liquor Question and
its Workings in Chicago.

CHICAGO. June S.-The fact that the high
license bill will almost certainly become a
law in this State, it is the general topic OF
conversation tonight About 1000 sa.
looms in this city pay $50 per annum or
about 100000. II is estimated the mum.
Der will be decreased TO 5000 under the
new, yielding revenue to the city of
Sl,5U00o0. From several interviews among
parties interested the followig is found to
be the opinions: The Citizens Ten per-
ance League rejoiCes, and Will celebrate by
mass meetings. The Women's Christian
Temperance Union views the bill with
dislike, and there is a suspicion as to 8
scheme OF the liquor men to prolong the
life of their traffic. The leading liquor
dealers will accept the situation aud will
contest the constitutionality Of the law if
passed by the Senate. admitting it cannot
be successfully attacked.

CoHsTANTINoPLE, June S.-The Porte re
Gently informed Gen. Wallace, United
States Minister, that that the treaty be-
tween Turkey and America would tsrmi
2Ate March IS, 1854. The Turkish tariff
expired on the same date of the present
year. After the termination of the treaty
the importation OF American meats, lard,
and similar produce will be prohibited.
The Porte has virtually increased the du-
ties on spirits by compelling its storage
at Smyrna; he also maintains the de-
mands relative TO the storage of petroleum.
No American Delegate
has been appointed to negotiate with
Turkey concerning the new tariff, al
though the appointment OF one has been
twice requested. General Wallace pro.
tested that the measures are arbitrary, and
claims that American goods, under the
treaty OF 1889, are entitled to the moss IA
vored national treatment.
The relations between the Sultan and
Gen. Wallace continue friendly. The
former ordered the payment OF all private
claims OF Americans on Turkey, and claims
amounting TO E3S0e0 have already been
pad.

Mr.. Joseph G. Sitton, Superintendent o.

located in Hopewell township, had beei
killed by Mr.. Thomas l.. Shields. News OF
the shooting was brought to the city by
Shields himself, who came and delivered
himself up to the officers. Mr.. Shields
employed Judge Bynum TO defend him.

to Jail. His only statement made before the
Justice was that "Sitton

and refused to marry her, and L killed
him"
A reporter visited Mr.. Shields short
while after mis- incarceration. He appear
ed cool and collected when the reporter
entered, and invited him to take seat;
Shields showed great reluctance TO talk, and
for some time would only repeat over and
over again that "Sitton seduced my sister
and refused to make reparation and l shot
him." He was visibly agitated when he
spoke of the shock the occurrence would
be to his aged father and mother. 81 knew
it would almost kill them" he said, but
had to do it,
Mr. Shields then said: "The shooting
occurred early in the morning Just after
