The Situation Unchanged in the Great
Iron Mill Strike

iron Mill strike.
PITTsBURG, July 3.-The iron lockout
presented no new features to-day. One
more signature that of the Scottdale iron
and steel company, of Scottdale, Pc.
was obtained by the amalgamated
people to this scale to-day, and
there were no indications of either side
giving in. The manufacturers say that
before they decided to resist the workmeu'S
scale they calculated that certain firms
would sign the scale, and they look for at
least two more mills to resume before the
end of the week. The signing of the scale
by these few firms, they claim, however,
will have no effect on the western associa-
ton, which is determined to resist the scale
Morehead q Mcleod paid off their men to-
day and closed down indefinitely
AN EMPLOYERS STATEMENT.
In speaking of the lockout to-day Max
Morehead said: There are some firms
that cannot afford to remain idle. We can
and unless the men give in we shall not
start before November. In the present
condition of the market it Is doubtful
whether we shall resume before September
under any circumstances"
The workmen appear to be satisfied with
the result and confidently assert that the
lockout will not last very long. The four
teen firms that have signed the scale operate
seventeen mills and employ about 5000
men.
A Youngstown, O., despatch says there
is no change in the situation there All the
outgoing trains are crowded with iron
workers and their families going to visit
friends The manufacturers show no dispo-
sitiOn to sign the scale.
