THE FALL RIVER STRIKE.
The Sixth Day Passes ana No Signs of
Settlement

FALL RIVER, MGss.. March l6.-Thc
sixth day OF the strike opens with no sign
OF satisfactory settlement OF the trouble.
On account OF the weather today the pro.
posed mass meeting on the park was
abandoned and the crowds which gathered
there and those on the way were notified
that the meeting would be held in Quinn,
Woodland 4 Co.'S Hall, which had been
offered to the strikers. Here big crowd
assembled and filed the hall TO It's utmost
capacity. The members OF the Executive
Committee explained the proposition
which had been made TO them Yesterday
by the State Board Of Arbitration, which
WIS that the strikers return to work aud
abide by the decision Of the board after
hearing and investigation. They had
asked how long Il would take the b0arl 10
decide, aud were told IL might take three
months They had refused TO entertain
any proposition that would require them 10
go back TO work without the advance. This
announcement WIS received with cheers
and this meeting unanimously Endorsed
the action taken by the Executive Com
mitiec aud voted TO continue the strike.
Members Of the Executive Committee

IRON AND STEEL SITUATION.
II is Very Unsettled and Unsatisfactory
Condition.

~ 10 u NtNN uuu lnhhNlHIuNIOTY
Condition.
PlTrsBuRG, Pa. March l6.-The gen.
cral iron and steel industries are in q very
unsettled and unsatisfactory condition ac-
cording TO manufacturers statements, but
it is not likely that any OF the works will
close before the regular summer shut
down. Over production is given as the
cause, but as the consumption in the
spring and summer months ALWAYS in.
creascs, the stock will likely DO reduced
considerably.
A manufacturer who has made n study
OF the affairs says that pig metal has fallen
81. 20 to - per ton since last fall, while
finished products have declined from 81
TO s. per ton. lie SAYS that many mills
would shut down only for the fact that
they have regular customers who buy
from them the year through and they
must keep them supplied.
There IL great deal OF trouble about
wages. AS some manufacturers are opor-
aiing their mills under the Amalgamnted
scale and others under the scale adopted
| by National Trades Assembly 2l7, knights
of Labor, there is no uniformity in the
price paid the puddlcrs. In the pitlsburg
district, where the mills arc controlled by
the Amalgamated Association, $500 per
ton is paid, while in the East and West,
where the puddlcrs are controlled by both
OF the organizations, the price is $50 per
ton.
The annual scale Of the Amalgama,ed
Association will be drawn up in u few
weeks, aud will be submitted ut the June
convention. No reduction will DO made
in the scale, aud none Of tho workers be-
lloyo there will bc any trouble.

to do some additional work before .plastcr-
ing. OF course the plasiering should be
applied with an air chamber between it

veneering was applied by cutting away

WASHINGTON, March l6.-The Geo.
logical Survey has just issued a brief pre-
liminary report on the production of coal
In the United States in 1883, in advance of
the full and complete returns, which will
appear in the final report. The figures 1t
gives show most gratifying increase in
the output OF coal in the Southern States,
and the progress of the industry in that
section OF the country. During last year
the production OF coal in Alabama was
100000 as against 10000 tons in the
previous year, which is about double.
The value OF this output is placed at
s3,335,O0 in 1883 and $685., 900 in 1887.
In Tennessee the increase has not been
30 great, but 1907. 800 tons, valued at
S,l64,03O, were turned out, as against
100000 tons, worth 81, 470, 900 in 1887.
Arkansas mined $4,000 tons, worth
s2S0, 800, last year. and only $50, 600 tons,
worth s252, 800, in the year previous.
Texas produced 10000 tons in 1888,
valued at Sls4, 900, against $4,000 tons,
worth $50, 200, in 1887.
Alabama stands ninth in the list Of coal
producing States in the quantities mined
and eighth in the value OF the production.
