Hut one tin mill, that at Monescn. and one sheet mill at Duncan ville remain at work. The fact'that the National Tube mill men (nonunion) re ceived a tilstiinti'il advance in wanes Monday haw caused discontent anion the union men employed by the National Tube compnny at their Second avenue plant and Kcpubic mill on the south side. The men here thiuk they ure entitled to a iimil.'ir increase. To consider the mat ter mcel im:s were held hist nicht on the south side, and it is said a demand will be made today. The following telegram was received from Wellsville yesterday: "The Wellsville rolling mill will be run. nnd it will be run nonunion. It will start tomorrow. If it could not be run Tiounion. it never would be run at all." This statement was made by lVrsifer V. Smith of I'iitsbuig, district manager for the American Sheet Steel company. He wan here in the morning nnd uiado uu uddress to tile striking mill men. He told them he had no grievance; they had been well cared for iu the past and would be in the future. The announcement thnt the mill would be Ktnrted and started nonunion has given rise to no little spec ulation and uneasiness among the citi zens. Many of the strikers, expecting prolonged Idleness, have left the city for limiting and fishing camps, where they expect to spend the time. No new men have been brought in. nnd how Manager Smith expects to start the Wellsville mill is a matter for conjecture. Wellsville is looked upon by both sides as nu important point, and developments are anxiously uwaited by all. The position of the Tin Workers' I'ro teotive association in the strike was set tled yesterday by the following telegram to The Icnder from 101 wood, I nd.: "Our association is bound by an agree ment with the company to work, provid ing they live np to their contract. If the company introduce black plate worked by nonunion men, our men will be called out. The Amalgamated people will have our full support if necessary." TUBE EMPLOYEES WIN. Nonunion Men Get 10 I'er Cent In creiiNe In Waves, M'KEKSI'OKT, Pa., July It?. The steel men won their first victory in their struggle with the United States Steel corporation. Five thousnnd men of the pipe depart ment of the National Tube Works com pany sent a committee to the manager, George Crawford, demanding an increase of 10 pr cent in their wages. The men had resolved to strike if the demand wns not granted by next Saturday. They did not have to wait long. Man ager Crawford yielded immediately nnd auuounced yesterday afternoon that the new scale would go into effect at once. These men are nonunion men and hnve never organized because the employers would not permit them to do so. The tin plate works have been union ised two yeurs. Wo Compromise flays tbe Trust, NEW YOKK, July 17. A representa tive of the highest interests in the United States Steel corporation authorizes the statement that no conference concerning the steel strike has taken place and that none is likely to take place unless the Amalgamated association recedes from its present attitude. The additional state incut is made that on this point there can be no compromise nnd that the heads of tho constituent companies will not un ionize such mills ag have up to tills time employed nonunion men. J. l'icrpont Morgan will not bo quoted at all about the strike nor will any of his partners. In fact, all other olllcers of the United States Steel corporation are most reticent on the subjuct, so much so that they re fused even to see newspaper reporters.

Strike of Stationary Firemen Stops All Work. OXEHCSDREDTIIOUSAXDMISERSIDLE Kearly Bvrry Mine In the AVIlkfu. tinrre It option AfTerted by j the Action of the j Firemen, WII.KESIIARRE, Pa.. July 17.-The strike of the stationary lireinen was de clnred yesterday morning, and nt nil the places where the demands have not been granted the men left their work nt 7 o'clock sharp. Nearly every colliery In the entire region is tied up, nuil those which are working are sniiill concerns , where the operator have placed the men J on eight hours for n month or several weeks with the understanding that if the big oompaiiies do not grant the demand they will change back to the 10 nnd 12 hour schedule. The mines of the large corporations are , nil idle. Many of the companies shut ; down the mines nnd did not wait for the - lay of the strike to dawn, mil ices be- ; lug posted thnt there would bo no work nt the collieries until further notice. This wns the result of n consultation be tween leading olllcers held here and post pones iu some measure the actual con flict between the strikers and the cmn IMinies. At the mines the fire bosses ami some men belonging to either the Firemen's union or the United Mine Workers have been placed at the pumps and lire keep ing steam up. but at none of the mines have nonunion men been placed at the fires, nnd the miners continue nt work. There as yet has been no test of this. ' At those mines which started work the shutdown whistle was blown a few minutes after the lireinen went on strike, so that the mine workers did not have time to show their uttitude regarding the employment of nonunion lireinen. Several of tip? smaller companies waited until the Inst moment, nnd then, seeing that the strike could not be averted ex cept by granting the demands of the men, they gnve the eight hours. These are isolated casrs, however, and, the great majority of the mines are idle. The response to the call for the strike was general, the men going out ut the minute specified. They are now holding meetings of ench of their local unions, nnd reports from nil over the region nre coming in. The con I companies were noncommittal, most of them stating thnt work had either been shut down ns soon ns the strike was declared or that work wns suspended Indefinitely nt their col lieries. It is roughly estimated thnt 100,000 mine workers nre idle. At some of tho mines where the demands were not granted nonunion men have been plneed in tho strikers' plnces. As yet there have been no strikes of otlier employees in consequence. A Former Slave Dead. NEW YORK. July 10. Nalhnn Wood- wnrd, n former slave. Is dead nt Husking Ridge, Somerset county, N.
