Pittsburgh. Pa, July 1.-THE sec
ond strike day closed with the ANAL
gamated officials in satisfied mood
and claiming to have made good every
promise II to results. On the other
hand, the manufacturers will not say
word concerning the strike and re-
fuse to be quoted in any way. Re-
peated efforts to secure statements
from President Corey, of the Ameri-
can Sheet Steei Co.. and General Man
ager |. W. jerks, of the Hoop com
pany, have been met with the re-
sponse that there was no change and
nothing to be given out.
M Tall. of Mediation.
The Amalgamated people say that
nothing has been said to them of any
plan for mediation or arbitration, and
that they will continue to carry out
their programme as originally an
nounced.
The closing down of the Clark mill
and of the Mone>s sen sheet mil are
looked upon as telling victories, max
ing an almost complete tie-up of the
three companies in the district But
one tin mill, that at Monessen, and
one sheet mill. at Duncanyille, remain
al work. The fact that the National
Tube mill men tnon-union) received II
substantial advance in wages, Mon
day, has caused discomfort among the
union men employed by the National
Tube Co. at their Second Avenue
plant, and at the Eepublic mill ON the
south side. The men here think they
are entitled to similar increase. To
consider the matter meetings were
held on the south side, and, it is said,
demand will be made.
An important Telegram.
The following telegram was re-
eeived Tuesday night:
Wells, July 1.-THE Wellsville roll
ing mill viii be run, and it will run
ncn-union. 1t will start tomorrow. If
1t can not be rui non-union it never
will be run at all.
This statement was made by Perci-
fer NJ. Smith, of Pittsburgh, district
manager for the American Sheet
Steel Go. He was here and made an
address to the striking mill men He
told them they had no grievance;
that they had been well cared for il
the past ana would be in the future
The announcement that the mill will
be started non-union has given rise to
no little speculation and uneasineSs
among the citizens. Many of the
strikers expecting prolonged idleness,
have left the city for hunting and
fishing camps. W new men have been
brought in, ana how Manager Smith
expects 10 start is a matter for con
lecture.
Developments AnNiousIy Awaited.
The foregoing il, the first indica-

PARTICIPANTS in TIA" big strike. What
the result ma bc of an attempt to

sides as an important point, and d.
