No AGREEMENT REACHED
ON THE SHEET IRON SCALE.
WORKMEN DEMAND THAT L.
COVER ALL THE MILLS IN
THE TRUST.
THE ADVANCE CONCEDED.
DISCUSSION OF THE BAR IRON
SCALE Is TO BEGIN
TODAY.

PITTSBURG, Pa, June 27.-The two
day conference for the settlement of the
sheet ircn scale adjourned tonight
without result. No arrangement was
made for another meeting and as the bar
iron scale is to be considered to-mor-
row and Saturday there seems now to
be no hope of a settlement OF the sheet
scale before the expiration Of the pres
ent scale, which will be on Monday. In
the event Of no settlement by that time
the organized sheet mills of the coun-
try will close down, throwing more than
fifteen thousand men out of employ
ment. While nothing official can be
learned, it is said that the workmen as
sumed the aggressive in the conference
to-day and insisted on their contention
that, when signeo, the scale should ap-
ply to all mills whether union or not.
This is believed to be the stumbling
block in the way of the manufacturers,
the advance in wages being conceded.
About IS per cent Of the sheet mills
or the combine are now union.
The bar iron scale is the only other
Amalgamated scale remaining unsettled,
ana President Shaffer thinks it will be
agreed upon without trouble.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 81
Senator Scott, of West Virginia, this
morning discussed with the President
several matters of interest to Virginia

1t is the intention of the Virginia Re-
publicans to put full State ticket in
the field this year and to make a gen
uine fight for it. For tlis reason, they
want all that belongs to them in the
way of federal patronage, hoping IL

as possible. Senator Scott is aiding
them and is backing up their efforts TO
secure the Lynchburg postofiice for Mr..
Mclaughlin, Republican. A frieLG OF

ginia as an officer in tie commissAcy

BERLIN, June PIT turns out that
the report of the Leipziger bank, pub

liable information shows that the sum
of Ill 100000 marks. which forms the
bulk of the assets, includes $1,000 900
marks loaned to the Clssa;l Treber-
Trocknung Company, Of which only a
small part can be realized apon.
The Tageblatt to-day says he Leip-
ziger bank quite recently advanced an
other 15.000,Oa0 marks 20 the cassel
Treber- Trocknung Company after it
was known that the latter was insol-
vent.
Representatives of the leading banks
of Berlin say there is no doubt all the
stock of the Leipziger bank. and its
reserve, amounting to 100000 marks,
are lost. The Dresden and Leipziger
bourses refuse to handle the Leipziger
bank stock. The policy of the Leipzig
er bank board OF directors has, for
years been such es 20 lead to the belief
that other arrests on the charge of cul-
pable negligence will follow the taking
into custody of Herr Exner The riem-
bers of the board OF directors inc.I ed
some of Leipzig's wealthiest citizens.
The Berlin, Leipzig and Dresden
morning papers express the highest in
dignation at the conduct of the Lelp-
