Ii VII be a Shut Down.

PITTsBURG. Pa, June 1.-THE most inn
portant resolution that has yet come before
the Amalgamated Association Convention
was adopted at yesterdays session. 1t is il
the manufacturers firmly believe that the de-
pressed condition of the iron business does
not permit the signing of the Amalgamn.ed
Association scales as presented, it is to the
best interest OF both employer and empioye
to agree to a three months shut down. The
resolution was adopted without dissenting
vote. 1t was expected that the matter would
be laid before the manufacturers at the con-
ference to-day, but it was held over until
next week
A three months shut down would mean
experienced in years in Pittsburg and the
West II would mean the temporary throw
ing out Of employment OF IA o0o Amalgama-
ted men and thousands Of Others. indirectly,
at the blast furnaces in Pittsburg and the
Shenango and Mahoning valleys There
would be big decrease in freight traffic, as
there would be falling off in the shipments
of ore. limestone. pig iron and the finished
products of the mills
Ii would also mean an entire suspension
Of work in the Connellsvile region and the
throwing ont of employment of 5000 men
there alone.
When it leaked out to-day that a three
months shut down was talked of on account
of the depressed condition of business the
Mills bill was assSiled everywhere in the
city. Il was argued that the Democratic
party throughout the country would lose
thousands of votes when practical proof
was furnished as the result Of the policy OF
the Cleveland administration. Congressman
Dalzell said. when told Of the threatened
sllni down: " IL is no worse than could be
expected. 1t would mean the legitimate re-
suit OF the Mills bill. The depressed condi-
ton Of the business j. due to that bill.
