PTTTsBURG, June 3O.-The old scale
amalgamated association expired this
evening, and as no agreement was
reached the mills were closed down.
President Healing, of the manufac-
turers' association, said this evening
that a telegram from the Ironton mills
shows how strong the feeling is among
the manufacturers to insist upon iron
workers accepting the reduction in
wages if they expect the mills to re-
sumo operations. There will be no

manufacturers will not ask for one.
1t is said eastern firms who have
signed the scale are to be expected to

About . Come . an End.

NEW YORK, June 3O.-Much inter-
est was felt yesterday among the iron
men in this city in the result of the
conference of the manufacturers and
men at Pittsburg. Charles N. Kir-

watched the proceedings in Pittsburg
closely, said to Times reporter yes
terday that the manufacturers have
been willing all along to make some
concessions on factory rules and ex-
tras, but have insisted upon tue s. per
ton basis. The committee from the
men after long deliberations finally de-
cided to submit their own scale and
that of the manufacturers to the sub
lodges of the amalgamated association
for the consideration of the members.
A lodge vote was to be taken then, and If
twO-thirds were in favor of the manu-
tacturerS' scale it was to be accepted:

upon the adoption of their own scale
by the manufacturers. This action

A Queer society Found in Iowa.

81 found q curious society up there
in Iowa County. They call themselves
the True Inspirationists.' and all their
property is held in common. No one
has individual possessions. and but $40
to 500 is allowed to man and $25 to
$40 to woman for spending money or
personal emolument. Marriage lowers
the spiritual standing of member,
though it is allowed. Rule of their
bylaws reads like this: Fly from the
society of womankind as much as pos
sible, as q highly dangerous magnet
and magical fire. Reasonably enough
the community has grown but little
during a hundred years: they are now
about 1900 or LOCO strong. Their
wooden goods, and, indeed, everything
they make, are quoted away above the
usual market price for that class of
goods. They are eminently moral and
upright, not one single case of COM
plant against them being found on the
records of the county. A rule for chill
dren is: DO not play with children of
the other SEX They indulge in no
amusements. One of the head men
