In short we make

can be made, we use
none but trustworthy
cloths and materials,
and if any alteration is
necessary in a suit we
make it, just as the

AN AGREEM ENT
Reached Between the AmaIgamated
Association and the Manufacturers
on the Pudding Rate.

YOUNGSTOWN, O., August lit was
daylight this morning before the iron
manufacturers and the puddlers OF the
Amalgamated Association conference
agreed upon a scale for pudding.
There were twenty-five puddlers on
the Amalgamated committee OF 100,
and the puddlers had the say about
accepting or rejecting the proposition
directly affecting them.
The puddlers made several attempts
to affect compromise and obtain S4.25
a ton for pudding. but the manufac-
turers positively refused TO recede from
their demand for a reduction from
$3.50 to 81. When the puddlers held
their last secret meeting TO consider
the matter, the vote stood l3 TO IL in
favor Of taking the whole reduction,
and this portion of the difficulty was
at an end.
The new scale adopted is as follows:
81 a ton on a one cent card rate; S4.25
on a one and one-tenth card rate; Si.15
on a one and three-tenths rate, - on
a one and four-tenths rate. and S5.25
on a one and fye-tenths rate, one
cent card rate meaning when bar iron
is selling for one cent a pound, etc.
An adjournment was taken az
O'Clock this morning until 10 O'Clock
Monday morning. when it is expected
the finishers scale will be adjusted and
the whole trouble brought 10 an end.

PITTSBURG. Pa, August AIT li5
this morning the strikers at Camp Deter
mination were aroused and five hundred
men ordered to march to Sandy Creek and
five hundred to Plum Greek. The march
began with President Patrick Dolan head
ing the force going to Sandy Creek.
After proceeding a short distance Dolan
was served with a notice charging him
with riot and unlawful assembly at the
instance of Thomas p. DeArmitt. For
time great excitement prevailed among
the marchers, but Doan quieted them by
saying that he would be all right and
would soon join them. He was then taken
to the Justices office and the marchers
proceeded. Secretary Warner. organizer
Cameron Miller and other leaders are in
cluded in the writ. A citizen of Turtle
Creek stands ready TO furnish bail for
Dolan. and it is presumed he will be re-
leased The incident has caused very
ugly feeling among the strikers and if the
other leaders included in the order of ar
rest should be stopped in their work. de-
cidedly vigorous action will likely be taken
at the big meeting this morning.

speeches was that money and quite a
goOdly sum must be forthcoming at
once if the strike is to be continued.
They made forcible appeals to their
fellow uniOniSts and the result was the
appointment by the league Of COM
mittee to represent the matter TO the
different organizations with the end in
view of securing the necessary sinews
of war for the strikers.
A set of resolutions were adopted ex-
pressing hearty sympathy for the strik-

nouncing the action Of Sheriff Lowry in
commanding the strikers to not assem-
bic on the highways of the county.

abridsement Of the rights Of peaceable
citizens.

At Scottdale Likely to. Cease Since
The Murder of Saturday Night.

Scottdale, Pa, August Coroner
Owen to-day held an inquest over the
remains of William S. Cummings, the
non-union mill worker who was killed
last night during a quarrel with strlk-
ers A large number Of witnesses
were examined. but the only one who
gave positive testimony was Constable
Longanecker. who testified that he was
standing within a few feet of the par
ties when the shooting took place and
plainly saw the fash aud smoke from
the revolver beside William c. Hubbs.
The jury found Hubbs guilty, and he
was at once arrested. Hubbs was
roller in the employ Of the Scottdale
Iron & Steel Company before the
strike and is one of the best known
young men in the town. While Opin-
ions differ as to the effects of Cum
mings's death, il is generally believed
that the trouble last night will end
the riOting and blOodshed and that
both sides will be more guarded in
their actions. The town tonight is as
quiet as on any ordinary Sunday.
