faeturers Will Not be Interviewed.

Pittsburg, Pa, July 16.-The second
strike day closed with the Amalgamat-
ed officials in a satisfied mood and
claiming TO have made good every
I promise as to results. On the other

fuse to be quoted in any way. Repeat
ed efforts 10 secure statements from
President Corey Of the American Sheet
Steel company and General Manager
I. W. jerks of the hoop company have
been met with the response that there
was no change and nothing 10 be Civ
en- out.

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 MOnessen sheet mill are
! looked upon as telling victories and an
almost complete tie-up of the three
companies in the district. But one
tin mill. that at MonesSen, and one
sheet mill, at Duncanville, remain at
work.

advance in wages yesterday has caused

/ plOyed by the National Tube company,
/ at their Second avenue plant, and at
I the Republic mill on the south side.
