Pittsburgh, Pa, July 2.-As the re-
suit of the failure of the joint wage
conference of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation of Iron and Steel Workers and
manufacturers to agree upon the scale
at the Youngstown conference Wednes-
day, all the union mills closed down
Thursday and between $4,000 and
$4,000 men are idle.
The general suspension cannot be
regarded as either a strike or n
lockout. Repairs are always made
at this season of the year and
many manufacturers do not sign
the scale until after their plants have
been overhauled This usually takes
two or three weeks. In the meantime
the conference committee will meet
and endeavor to settle the differences.
If the committee finds that an agree
ment is impossible the strike can then
be considered as on in earnest.
