tural steel and iron are watching closely
The course of the threatened general
trikc among iron and steel workers, and
Ill are apprellensive Of the result One
of the best informed ship builders said
Yesterday afternoon:
''It would be difficult to predict. at the

strike would have on the ship building

builders cautious about making contracts

many more ships under construction il It
were not for this condition. Now a strike
among steel workers would further hurt
business. The mills which turn ont

have been running steadily and on many
orders, l suppose II would he possible i6

not so long. That is Supposing the supply

not worrying over the delay ana seem
to be confident MS ever that they will
win. They are encouraged over the
delay In issuing the strike order and
believe 1t IL due to the fact that the
officers of the workers organization
are not certain of their ability to bring
out the union men desired. One thing
appears certain, and that is that Presi-
dent Shaffer will not call out the men
before the latter part Of the week.
President Shaffer was at his office at
. o'clock IN the morning and at once
went to work. 1t is said that he is
preparing the notices to the different
companies which will state that he
intends to call the men out These
notices will probably go out at once.
No attempt has been made to start
any OF the mills in this city now tied
up by the Amalgamated association,
but iumor is current in the west end
that an effort will be made to start the
Painter mill nonunion this week. A
number Of fires in the mill have been
s...ated, aud. while the management re
fuses to talk, there is every Indication
that something in that direction is
being planned. At Clark's mill and the

San Francisco, Aug. 6.--Negotiations
for n settlement of the labor troubles
having resulted in failure, the indica-
tions now are that the strike will not
be ended until after bitter and pro-
tracted struggle.
Mayor Phelan's closing statement of
his services as mediator presents both
sides of the controversy. This state
ment shows that the vital difference
now existing between the contending
parties lies in the fact that the Employ
ers' association declines to re-employ
their men unless they will agree not TO
go on sympathetic strikes or use SYM
pathetic boycotts. As an offset the
employers say they will not discrlm-
mate against employers of union labor
or against union employees. Neither
side will yield the points at issue, and
