PIrTsnuRGn, Pa, July 1.-The lockou
in the iron and steel mill governed by
1he Amalgamatcd Association, which
was inaugurated yesterday, will likely
he q repetition OF the trouble with the
iron masters in 1885. This is, one by one
the different firms will sign, and all the
mills will be in operation before the end
Of the month, A number OF prominent
firms have already signed the scale, in
Guiding Oliver Bros. & Phillips, who
operate large plants on the South Side
and in lower Allegheny. This firm en-
ploys fully 5000 men and has many
Iarge contracts, among which is one for
the Traction Railroad, which must be
fulfilled us rapidly rs possible and any
delay would occasion serious loss.
Six other firms have also signed, as fol-
lowI: laughing and Junction Steel and
Nail CempaRy, @ Mingo function;
Akron Iron Company, at Akron, Ohio;
Apollo Iron and Steel Company, at
Apollo; Cleveland Hardware Company,
at atCleveland, o.; Aurora Iron and Steel
Company, at Aurora, Ind, and the Maui
mee Rolling Mill Company, at Toledo,
O, Notices OF these scales having been
signed were received at the headquar-
ters OF the Amalgamatcd Association last
evening. Others are expected within
The next few days and the iron workers
are jubilant. They believe that some
firms may hold OFF until the annual re-
pains are completed before signing, but
expect all to be in line before the end OF
the month. The signing Of the scale by
Oliver Brothers 4 Phillips, with some
very slight notifications; is taken as an
indication that break will be made by
other large firms in this city.
ANOTHER NOTABLE EXCEPTION.
Carnegie, Phipps & Co. refused to par
ticipate with the manufacturers in the
negotiations with the workmen on the
scale, and it is believed they will sign
the Amalgamated scale within the com.
ing week. Yesterday Mr.. George Lau-
der held conference with the mill
committee at the Homestead steel plant,
and, although there are prospects OF a
settlement within the next few days,
nothing definite was done, and Mr..
y.auder refused to say anything regard
ing the deliberations when spoken TO
Inst evening.
1t is believed, however, that the scale
will be signed at both the Twenty-ninth
and Thirty-third street mills OF this com.
pany within the next few days, and II
satisfactory arrangements can be made
the scale at Homestead will be signed.
There seems to be u hitch at the latter
place, the nature Of which cannot be
given, which will likely prevent a set
tlement for some time.
The Advisory Board OF the Amaiga.
mated Association was in session until
1 o'clock yesterday, and after adjourning
for rest met again in the afternoon and
continued in session until almost mid
night. MIR. David B. Oliver, OF Oliver
Bros. & Phillips, was present at the
meeting last night, and st II o'clock AT
tached the signature OF the firm to the
scale, but not until some Objectionable
features had been stricken out. The
points eliminated are not ofgreat import
ance to the workers, and they consider
the action OF Oliver Bros. & Phillips
equivalent to u complete victory
although it may be month before tht
other firms sign.
