PrTTsBURG, Aug. 12.-Tbe Amalga-
mated association officials are distribute
ing circdlar appealing to the work
men in the iron establishments of Pitts
burg and elsewhere to boycott material
that comes from the Carnegie mills.
A sensational rumor, to the effect that
Prick had resigned the chairmanship Of
the Carnegie company, was promptly
denied by that gentleman. The report
that Frick's life may again be in dam
ger from anarchists seems to be cred
tied to some extent by Frick, as
we'll as by the Carnegie officials and
police authorities. The force OF detec-
tives has been more than doubled at the
office of the company, and everyone
visiting there, unless we'll known to the
officers on duty, is subject to a strict
and searching scrutiny, and has to run
a gauntlet of inquisitive and interesting
eyes.
The calkers and carpenters at the
Church boat yards, Haxelwood, struck
today against handling iron girders
manufactured at Carnegie's mills.s
A rumor has been going around for,
two days that the Duqueene men are
dissatisfied and are coming out again.
The story cannot be confirmed.
Important developments are looked
for at the Union mills within the next
twenty-four hours, but just what the
move will be is not known. Some say
the strikers are getting ready to work at
the company's terms, but this is indig-
nantly denied.
WILL WAIT AWHILE.
PrTrsBURG, Aug. 12.-The executive
board of the American Federation OF
Labor met here today, and after an all
days session, decided not to boycott the
Carnegie products at present. The
reason for this is because the firm is not
turning out enough material to Justify
the boycott. Should il be necessary in
the future 10 order boycott, the board
will not hesitate to do so.
FINIsHERs DISSATISFIED.
PIrTsBURG, Aug. IL. Notwithstanding
denials, there is great dissatisfaction
among the finishers over the ac-
ton of the amalgamated confer
ence committee regarding the signing of
the scale. They claim their wages will
be reduced under the new scale % per
cent instead of 10 per cent, as given out,
and they threaten to refuse to abide by
the committee's action. A conference
of tinishers will be held tomorrow after
noon to arrange for general meeting OF
all finishers in the district tomorrow
night. Nothing will be done until the
meeting is over. tits believed, however,
the inishers will accept the reduction.
