STATE NEWS OF A DAY.


The Amalgamated Association and Man.
ufacturers Fail to Adjust Scale,
PITTsBURG, July 19.-The failure of the
Amglgamated Association and manufac-
turers' conferences to reach settlement
of the wage scale and the ending of all
conferences has rendered the situation
more than critical. As a result of the dis
agreement union mills, or at least those
that paid union rates " the past, will CON
tinue closed or resumHJperattons on a nom
union basis. 1t is stated that it is not
probable that any of the manufacturers
will attempt to start their works for at
least four, and probably six, weeks. In the
meantime thousands of iron workers will
be forced to seek employment elsewhere or
remain idle. The Amalgumated Associa-
tion will now have its modified scale
printed and pre- sent it TO individual firms
for signature. President Garland said to-
day that the situation does not now assume
the aspect of a strike, and will not until
the mill owners order a resumption on
terms of their own making The workmen
do not anticipate that this will be done,
and believe that the manufacturers will
sign the scale as soon as they are ready Ia
resume. The financial situation, together
with small collections, has had much to do
with the failure to reach a settlement at
present.
