SITUATION AT OSHKOSH,
Manufacturers Meet and Discuss
Matters but Reach No
Decision.

Oshkosh, Wis. July IL Special l.
The manufacturers are in session this
morning, but there WAS no change in the
strike situation up to Ii o'clock. The
Morgan and Paine plants are running
with nonunion men the same as usual.
The McMillen factory is still running
under the terms Of settlement, leaving
four mills idle. The strike pickets have
been ordered off duty by the police. The
force Of sheriff's deputies is being con-
siderably reduced.
The millmen have been holding daily
conferences since the McMillen settle
ment, it is said, planning some concerted
action. Ihe report that the six remaining
mills Will close their doors until a settle
ment of some kind is reached was not de.
MED by the manufacturers last night, al
though they said there was no cOmbina-
ton between them. They have been act
ing together so far, they claim, solely be-
cause 1t is for their interest to do so, since
their contention is the same foe-the
union.
1t is known that one Of the remaining
millmen has asked for a committee from
the union for conference, when a settle
ment upon a satisfactory basis will be
discussed. The date for the proposed
meeting has not been made public, how
ever, ana like all the proceedings of the
strike, so far as the millmen were con-
cerned, much is left for conjecture.
The strike leaders continue to assure all
questiOners in smiling terms that they are
pleased with the situu ton and that it is
quite favorable. An informal session with
Charles Barber, local attorney, who
has interested himself TO great extent
in the strike, and +. II Edwards, mem.
Der of the state board of arbitration, was
held in the rooms of Mr. Kidd at the
Revere hotel last evening. Peace meas.
ures were talked Of, but nothing impor-
tant resulted.
The business Of the city is just begin
ming to feel the effects Of the strike
Strike benefits are insufficient to pay all
the bills and such items as dues in lodges,
insurance assessments and installments
upon property are being neglected. The
large families Of most of the strikers
compel the men to get credit, and the
natural consequence is stringency in
the amount of money in circulation. Six
weeks and more of strike pay, which is
abort half and in many cases less than
half of the amount of money formerly
paid out weekly and monthly, has
wrought sad havoc with business. Trav-
cling men complain bitterly of the state of
affairs Big contracts in branches entire
ly foreign to the woodworking industry
are being delayed until the uncertainty is
over Business men cry loudly for an
adjustment of the difficulties.

Either.

Chicago H., July 2.-None Of the Eng
fish papers were published il Chicago to-
day owing to a strike among the stere0typ-
ers. The stereotypers demanded a redUc-
ton in the hours Of labor and an increase
In wages. It was refused and as a result
at S O'Clock last evening the stereotypers
refused to so to work. The following
newspapers have entirely suspended pub
LEGATION pending a settlement of the issue:
Times Herald Record, Tribune. Chronicle,
Inter Ocean, Evening Post. Daily News,
Evening journal and the Dispatch. A
meeting Of the publishers was held at II
o'clock this morning to arrange a plan
of campaign and to provide for the resum-
ing of publication at the earliest moment
and it was announced that no paper could
be published tomorrow morning. The
publishers are acting together, and will
continue to do So Already they have re-
ceived a large number of applications from
stereotypers in other cities and it is the
general belief that since something like
200 employees are directly involved the
suspension will not be long. An imme-
diate influx of stereOtypers from other
cities is expected and has in some meas-
ure begun.
The intense interest in the battle at San
tiagO renders the situation peculiar one
and this fact was undoubtedly seized upon
by the operatives.
