ALL UNION MILLS SHUT DOWN.


No Agreemsnt Reached Between Anal "a.
mated Association and Manufacturers.
PITTsBURG, Pa, July las the
result OF the failure Of tho Joint
wage conference of the Amalga-
mated Association of Iron and Steel
Workers and manufacturers to agree
upon the scale at the youngstown
conference yesterday, all the union
mills are closed down to-day, and
between $4,000 and $1,000 men
are idle.
Repairs are always made at this
season of the year, and many man
ufacturers do not sign the scale un-
til after their plants have been over
hauled. This usually takes two or
three weeks. In the meantime the
conference committee will meet and
endeavor to settle the difference.
If the committee finds that an
agreement is impossible the strike
can than be considered as on in
earnest. The conference on the tin
plate wage scale will be resumed to-
morrow. All the tin plate plants in
the country, with the exception Of
the four non-union concerns, are
idle.
All the tin plate works in the In
diana gas belt have closed. In
Cleveland two mills shut down.. af-
fecting 5000 men at Anderson, Ind,
all skilled labor in the union glass
factorieslwas suspended pending a
readjustment of the scales. Tire
more signatures were received to
the amalgamated scale to-day, and
on-union mill at McKee's Rocks,
employing 500 men, ordered q cut
from 10 to 20 per cent. in wages.
YOuNGsTowN, Ohio. July AL
the plate mill employees of the Ma
honing Valley Iron Company and
Coleman, Shields & Co. were dis
charged to-day because they had re-
fused to make certain concessions
asked by the firm under the amalga-
mated scale. The men were taken:by
surprise.

victed and given seven years in the
pen, the limit of the law. He will be

disarm the soldiers in the yard failed.
There are threats of re-enf0rcements
