The Iron Scale still Under Consideration.
PiTTsBURG, PA. June 23.-The iron
scale was again taken up this afternoon
by the Amalgamated Committee and the
manufacturers and the points OF conten-
ton exhaustlvely discussed The finish
ers wages were under consideration and
the twenty per cent cut demanded by the
manufacturers proved troublesome point
I'm the proceedings, as the huishers are
IS determined 10 resist cut la their wa
ges as are the puddlers.
The members Of both committees refuse
20 make any statements In regard TO inc
conferences, saying they do not wish 70
commit themselves until they are ended.
From outside sources II was learned to-
day that the manufacturers had made
proposition TO pay g. per ton for pudding.
which is so cents loss than at present.
This was not accepted, but 10 II believed
that a settlement will eventually be MADE
upon this basis.
