PITTsBURG, July 2S-Fully ten thousand
iron-vorkers IN Pittsburg arc affected by
the new scale which the Carnegie steal
Company Cimitedl has prepared for the
Union mills In this city and the Beaver
Falls plant. and which tho new men, or
those of the former employees who return
to work, will be required to sign. The
scale will extend until January, 1894. and
the wages will be the same as paid the
Amalgamated workmen. but no association
will be recognized. The fnlshers. 10 10
said. will profit especially BY the new
agreement. The fires have been started IN
the Union mills, and work will probably
be resumed in q few days. The strikers
are quiet, and no trouble is anticipated.
There have been no attempts made as yet
to resume at Duquesne or Beaver Falls. and
none will be made until the Homestead
and Union plants arc IN full operation.
The trouble with the transportation men
at the Edgar Thomson works. Braddoek,
was settled by Manager Shwab. and the
men have returned to work
IL is asserted by many conservative
thinkers that the policy of the Carnegies
with regard to the prosecution of the strik-
ers 10 not only TO prosecute. but 10 perse-
cute the locked-out men. People who
should know say that the Wholesale prose-
cutions will be continued until such time
as the strikers exhaust all their resources
of securing bail or become sullenly obsti-
natc and refuse to furnish bail. Many OF
the men have already been charged with
the dual crimeNof murder and riot. and tits
stated that various other crimes will be al
legged against them.
About twenty-five of the delegates were
present at this mornings sessions of the
convention for the purpose of forming an
In International labor bureau of information
and correspondence. A lively discussion
of the soeialistic question took place, but the
convention adjourned without accomplish
ing anything. The wage committee OF the
malgamated Association and the manu-
facturers held another fruitless confer
ence In the afternoon, and then ad-
journod to meet again next Tuesday. The
manufacturers are becoming restless and

source this evening that Jones ~ Laugh

are sald to be not alone in the talk of the
move tn onon-unioniZe Pittsburg mills. The

that they must have reductions in order
that they may operate their plants. Their
