nsA0ciation, after which Mr.. Lee made
speech stating that 81, 900 per week would be
pent to the men, to be divided among the
strikers Of the three mills and this would
continue ~ long as the strike was in force.
The men are very reticent about the bust
nsas done at the meeting, but say that they
are fully determined not to return to work
until the advanced prices are paid.
The men are Of the opinion that the difficulty
will soon be settled and they will return to
work about next Monday. On the part of
the management Of the different mills, q
different view of the matter Is taken
and they declare that the advance prices can
mot be paid and the mills will not be run II
those prices must be paid TO the employees.
The management claim that Philadelphia
mills can procure some of the materials at
lower cost than in Columbia and iron can be
sold lower, as freight on the production
must not be paid. The Columbia
mills pay freight to have their iron
shipped to Philadelphia, which cost is
avoided by the mills in the city. The man.
agement will not grant the demands of the
strikers and it looks as If the strike would
be q prolonged one. At the Columbia roll
ing mill the heating furnaces are now In
operation. Much bar iron is not used, but in
the place the finished iron is made from
scrap iron. The men at work say that they
cannot afford to stop work, as they have
