AMALeAMATED ASSOCIATION,

Probable Action 'of the Body On thu
workmens' Demands.
PIrTsBURG, April 2l,--The members o
the Amalsamsted Association in this city
are quietly discussing what will be the de
mands of their Association when the new
scale is presented to the iron manufactur
ers on the first of July next. On Saturday
evening meetings will be held by numer
ous lodges in this CITY, to elect delegates
to the National Convention. In regard to
the probable demands of the workmen this
year, q member Of the Association
said that majority were in favor Of asking
for $3.50 for pudding on the = card
basis A few, however, strongly advanced
$6 90 per ton, but he was inclined to think
the S. so scale would be adopted. This
would be an advance Of so cents per ton
on the present scale. In the other
departments the advance asked
will be in the same proportion. They
argue that the condition Of the market
warrants this increase. There is a scarcity
of iron, and beth pig iron and coke have
been advanced. The question of the sdop.
ton OF natural gas in mills will also be
used as an argument in favor OF an increase
So it is a great saving 10 manufacturers.

hotels arguing with the men and inducing
them to give up their intention OF filling the
vacancies. In many cases they were sue

gumeut they claim to have won over near.
Iy all the arrivals.
Nearly all of the men seemed to have

here and to have come only with an idea
Of obeyiDg orders and getting work. One

work in Chicago he could not work any
where else on the Lake Shore. The Stri-
kers are confident that they can prevent
any switching being done hereafter with
