PrTsnuReu, Pa, April 2l.-When the
news was sent forth Of the disafsction
among the Wheeling nail.cutting mem
bers Of the Amalgamated Association and
the subsequent withdrawal Of the roilers
and heaters Of the same section, themost
sanguine friends Of the organization in the
Pittsburgh district were made decidedly
uneasy in regard TO the results. The
secession in the Second district is thrown
into the shade by the importance Of .
movement which, although it had been
on foot for some time past, did not leak
out until this morning. The movement
lin its present condition, according to good
authority, means nothing less than
complete disintegration OF the Amalga-
mated Association in this, the place

colo tutn anu can oe sot over NOW
under the Amalgamated rule the scale
has been based on puddlers' wages and q
reduction in the base will sweep the
classes Of workers who really should not
be affected by the substitution Of steel for
iron. Hence the tinishers (aAd particu-
larly the sheet mill mem have determined
TO save themselves and make their own
terms with the employers. This they can
easily do when they move alone.
You remember when the last long strike
occurred the sheet rollers came near se-
ceding then, and would have gone out
had not the trouble been settled. AT the
annual convention last August law was
passed requiring all mills to knock off the
third turn.

This annlies narticularly to sheet mills.
