Big STRIKE BEGUN.
Western Ironworkers Refuse
to Accept the Manufae-
turers' Scale.
The Mills Will Shut Down-one Hun.
drcd Thousand Men Idle and
No Hope OF Settlement.

A dispatch from Pittsburg, Pa, says: The
ironworkers strike has begun, and 100000
men are idle.
The conference Of the wage committees oil
the Amalgalnated Association and iron man
ufacturerS was short and decisive The
workers. representatives stated that the lodges
had voted upon the question of a reduction
and had decided almost unanimously to reject
it. Tho manufacturers thcn stated, in Ian
guage just as positive, that they would not
ply present wages There was but little dis.
cussion, and the conference adjourned after
being in session only twenty-five minutes.
The dispute was caused by the manufac
turers presenting II scale Which called for n
reduction of about ton per cent in all wages
This reduction the men belonging to the
Amalgumated Association declined TO accept.
The manufacturers claim that the wages paid
this wear were in excess of those paid last
year, when tic cost Of materials and the
price of bar iron are taken in consideration.
The scale which tho manufacturers presented
was OH a basis of 50 per ton for bar iron sell
ing ut two cents, while the men claimed that
they were entitled to-StJ0-., One OF the man.
ufacturcrs said that unless the meh-signed the
five dollar scale all negotiations would be
stopped. The manufacturers would not agree
to make the price cent more. The men had
been shown over and over again why the re-
duction was necessary, and tho manufacturers
would stand together and Insist upon it.
The workmen are determined to stand out
for the scale, and from tile present indications
the struggle will be protracted and bitter In
Pittsburg 500 men will be thrown out OF
employment by the STRIKE and i'll tho West it
is estimated that not less than 20, 0OO workmen
will be affected.
All the mills in the West, except the few
operated by non-unon men, have closed in
definitely. The mills thnt will continue i'll
operation are CaIncgios BeSsemer Works at
Braddock, Park Brothers & Co., Clark's
Solar Iron Works and Anderson q Depuy, of
Pittsburg; Woods Mills, of AIckeesport and
Wellsville. Ohio, and tho Lake Erie Iron
Works, of Cleveland.
Among the other interests affected by the
strike will be tho railroad freight business and
the coke trade.
The suspension of work in the mills means
tho banking up of blast furnaces, and rs a
consequences, the shutting down generally of
the coke ovens i'll the Conncllsville region.
The coke people say, however, that shut
down of several months would eventually do
them good, and that when tho mills started
IN again. there would be Il big demand for
coke. which could be sold at u profit, while
there is IL loss in the present prices of 81 per
ton.
In an Interview NJ N. Werner, OF the Pitts
burg Forge and Iron Company. said the shut
down was complete. The statement that tile
mills were closing for repairs is untrue They
nre closing because tue manufacturers will
not nay tie present wages He said further

HnlIana,s Great TuIip Craze.

Three of the thirty-scvcn gardeners
employed by the Park Department were
observed by New York SIN reporter
busily engaged in taking up the tulips
from the great circular bed, in front of
the Court House in City Hall Park.
There were 1000 tulip bulbs at the south
side of the Court House, and it is adj
mitted hy al who saw the gorgeous but
short-lived blossoms that richer dis
play was never bcheld The bulbs are
imported from Holland at a cost Of from
81 to So 80 per 100. Holland is still as
much the home of the tulip as when in
1854 the mania OF speculation in that
flower broke out, and when, for a single
rare bulb, called the Semper Augustus,
$4,000, a handsome carriage and span
of horses were given.
srrhc Flora Symbolica" states that the
tulip indicates vanity or a declaration OF
love, but the mania which finally
amounted to floral gambling in Holland
suggests that the Dutch regarded the
flower us cmbematlc of gain. Haarlem,
after which New York's northern pre-
cinct was named, was most deeply af-
lccicd by the craze A man who had a
rare specimen of tulip, the like of which
he believed did not exist, heard that
there was another specimen Of the same
variety in IIaarlcm. He ionrneycd there
on foot, purchased the bulb at an i'm
mcnse outlay, and then crushed it under
foot with the declaration: CHOW my
tulip is unique"
When the tulip craze was at it height,
a sailor entered store and saw what he
took to be an onion, which he bore away
as relish to be eaten with his modest.
meal Of red herring With the not fas-
tidious taste of a hungry seaman, he had
eaten all but the last mouihful of the
bulb when the merchant rushed up to
him and o.,dercd his arrest The tulip
had not been very palatahlc, but the
sailor learned that he had dined like a
prince in devouring it, for the bulb was
a rare variety worth hundreds of dollars.
Fifty M lion dollars for tulips changed
hands in Haarlcm during three years,
thousands of people were ruined, and yet
the memory OF that disastrous craze has
not caused the Dutch to relax in the love
for the flower which has become nomin-
ally the national emblem. More than
hundred years ago they had proragatcd
21j0 kinds Of the gaudy blossoms, and
to this day ranccrs in the dyke land are
experimenting, as did the achemists to
make gold, to grow a black tulip.
