Which Still Run.
Pitsburg, July 1s.-There were no fea-
lures visible upon the horizon of the
strike situation this morning. which
were in any way Indicative as TO when
climax between the two contending
forces will be reached. While there is no
Goubt that the Amalgamated people are
making strenuous efforts toward organ
izing those mills that are acknowledged
Ia be non-union, and are meeting with
some success, the other side is not rest
ing and is endeavoring to Illustrate these
efforts at every point. The Amalga
mated people denied yesterday that tine
mills at Wellsville could be started up.
but in spite of this assertion dispatches
from that place report at least partial
resumption. 1t appears, however. that
the officials of the Amalgamated Asso-
ciation willmake strong play today by
holding mass meeting Vt Welisville, by
means of which they hope to bring all
the wavering forces over to their side
The strike situation about Pittsburg to-
day remained practically the same as
yesterday
AT the Painter mill notices We're
posted during the night to the effect
that all tonnage men could get their pay

what will take place when the men meet
to draw their money is hard to conjec-
ture. No trouble is feared, but report
is floating about among the men that
the management of the plant will speak
TO the men regarding the stand they
have taken.

in or about the mill. Notices were
posted last night to the effect that all
men will be paid off tomorrow This

] tion are going on at the Dewees-Wo God
