sufficient to set ASIDE all rumors TO the
effect that the relations between the two or

After wishing each other success in the war

In conversation with q Pittsbuzy reporter
he made the following statements.
Everything points to q speedy settlement
of our trouble. The scale will be signed
before many weeks"
Does the steel nail enter into the wage
question to any great EXTENT
"A great deal more than was necessary
has been said about steel naSs. l do not
experience more trouble in %cuttiuS steel
than iron nails. Since last Jaly VS. have
cut 29e, 900 kegs of steel nails al the River
side factory. They cost more thaa iron but
the work is not harder. The time may
come when steel nails al be made at the
same cost as iron nails"
rs the Nailers' association as strong an
organization as when the members be
loDged to the Amalgamated Association
Il believe we are stronger. We have
local organizations in every establishment
in the West, except at Centrala. At our
convention in Wheeling on July Is it is
possible that they will Join ua"
will any factories attempt to start up to-
morrow with non-union menu
That would be impossible. There are
some factories, however, that will run with.
out the scale being signed, but will do so on
certain conditions. The executive commit
tee of each lodge has some power, but can not
accept a reduction in the proposed scale
of wages. l know of three factories that
will continue in operation. They have ar
ranged with the executive committees to
pay the wages proposed for the present. II
The strike is q success they will sign the
scale. If it proves a failure q reduction
will be made. 1t is likely that a number OF
mills will be running before very long un-
der these conditions"
