The San Francisco Iron Strike

San FRANCISCO February 13th.-The iron
workers and the iron manufacturers had
not, at noon day, reached any agreement by
which work will be resumed in the Union,
National, Risdon, Fulton, Empire and Pa
citic shops. Workers and manufacturers
agree on one proposition, namely: That it
is, at least for the present, merely ques
ton of endurance. The manufacturers say
that they have no proposition TO make.
The employees say they will not accept any
reduction. This is precisely the attitude
which has been maintained from the first
day of the strike. Only small number of
employees were in the vicinity of the shops
to-day. These few said that there was
nothing new, except that they were still
holding out. The meetings of committees
have not brought the manufacturers and
employees nearer together. The commit
tees have not been authorized to act. Up
to noon no shop, except the six named, was
reported to have reduced wages. The
smaller shops are running as usual. Sew
eral manufacturers in the larger shops say
that they are not pressed by contracts
Those who had work underway, so manu-
facturers say, have consented to wait.
