THE DUNN STRIKE.
Twenty-One Miners Quit Work
Wednesday Morning.
The Strike Is Promptly Settled BY
Paying off the Strikers Notes
From Other Districts.

May month was inaueurated az the
Dunn mine by IL strike Wednesday morn
ING. Twenty-onc miners quit work and
demanded their pny being two months
behind. They not only refused toreturn
10 work but for a time threatened to
prevent others from working unless their
demands were nccedcd TO.
The trouble was settled, however, by
giving the men their due bills Tor back
pay. which were cashcd 10y NJ. Bach, oF
this city, who paid out over $1,000 in
about an hour.
The men claimed that when the mine
started they were told they would re-
ceivc their pay every month, not later
than the tenth, but the earliest they had
been paid of was the nineteenth and
only once ms early ns that. Pay day,
they said, kept moving further into the
next mouth, until they were two months
behind, and as the mine had recently
changed hands they determined to quit
work until paid up.
Supt. Bennett informs TnE DiA-
MoNp DRiLL that the delay in
paying MAS occassioued by delay
in making out the pay roll, and that in a
short time all the men would he paid.
Many 81 the strikers have returned to
work and everything is moving along as
smoothly as ever.

The Cleveland Iron Trade Reviews Resume Of
the Week in Iron Circles.
The tnlk of better prices for iron,
whatever share of il has been realized in
actual market transactions, has brought
immediate fruit in demands for higher
wages, with an lfneasincss apparent in
other directions that promises seen 10
bc heard from. The Minnesota Iron
company has made a ten per cent. adj
vance in wages, hut az its men were paid
less thnn the rate at most Lake Super
or mines, this action may not bc con
sidcrcd precedent. In connection with
the amnlgamated convention soon TO be
held in Cleveland, an advance OF 30 to
75 cents in the pudding rate Is mooted.
The wage features OF the situation seem
TO support the advance in prices an
nounced in various directions. Further
furnace strikes IN the valleys could only
result in n firm market for Bessemer pig
and disagreement over the nmalga-
mated scale would have like effect on
all rolling mill products. 'rhe principal
development 10 pig iron IL second adj
vance OF 2J cents 10y leading southern
producers, and the large sales they have
made for the next four months would
Indicate that their position IL stronger
than at any time since the depression.
