DELICATE SITUATION AT PITTsBURo.
PIrTsBURG, May lS,-The manufac-
turers and tho iron workers are
In a situation that promises
very little in the way of an
adjustment of Prices for next year.
Whatever is Gone Will have to be &C.
complished before the lst of June, net
quite swo weeks from the present. Each
side seems to be holding out firmly for
their respective positions, aud both are
emphatic In their statement that II there
is settlement of the wage question it
will have to come through advances
from the other side. AS the matter
stands now, and from the unusual
briskness about the mills, it would seem
that strike was TO be in order from
the LIST OF June. The mills
are running with the evident object In
view of increasing their stock to the ut
most, and the wofkmen are considering
the adVisability OF re-establishing
stores throughout tho district for the
purpose Of supplying the members OF
the Amalgamated association with
goods at cost prices.
