At Scottdale, Pa , the old Meadows
plant Is Idle, on account ot repnlis to
the engine, but tho Scottdale plant of
the ame company Is woiklng full. So
far as can be teamed, no oidets lmo
been lecelved to stop weak, and union
nnd non-union men aie wot king .side

At lioechbuig, Pa, the mills of the
Ametltan Steel Sheet company nte
running full The mills have been tun
ning non-union for a numbei of eais,
nnd the call of Pieslclent Shaffer dots
not aftect them. Zug & Co , this city,
announced today that the would sign
the scale. The mill Is closed down. The
sheet mill will icoptn on July &, and
the bar mill on July lr,. No tiouble H
anticipated.
Added Inteiest was given the Mtlko
situation today, when It bienme known
that two mills in dispute, which weie
the tius of dKigieement between the)
Amnlgamnted association and the
Ameilcan Sheet Steel tompaii, weie
claimed by both paitles. These mills
nre the old Meadows nt Scottdale unit
tho Saltsbutp; mill. The oillel.ils vvho
lefused to sign the union scales deemed
as much suiprlwd at the claims of
Pieslclent Shaffer that the mills -weie
union as the pieslclent seemed to be
that thev should take a xlew opposite
fiom his. The sheet steel olllclnls ap
pealed to have a tillle the btttei of the
atgument todav, when wot el came fiom
Scottdale that the men now woiklng
theie tefiised to eiult, scale or no stale,
association or no association,
Mr. Jarrott's Statement.
Speaking of conditions nt Scottdale,
John Jaitett, seetet.uy of the labor
buteau ot the Sheet Steel conipati, said
toda :
"The Amalgamated people have no
claim to tho Meadows nnd fcnltsbuig
mills. The men, paitleulaily In Scott
dale, ate woiklng under peisonal ngiee-
ment with us. These nguements have
been extended to Januat, 1H03. I am
well BntlMlPil that the woikmen thete
don't deslie any change. They left the
Amalgamated association of their own
volition. They came to us man times
and plead to have the mills started up.
'lluy would agree to cut tho Amalga
mated for nil time if wo would but
stmt the mills The) me making money
now, something which they did not do
when quau oiling all th time lor tho
association.
"When the test comes It will not tnke
long to show Just "what sott of a mill
Old Meadows Is. Piesldent Shnffei can
oider out his men, hut the question Is,
can he stop the mill? With tegaitl to
the Saltsbuig mill, I can piovo that
prominent meinbeis of the Amalga
mated nRsotlatlon said theie was no
lodge there, and the waited an Inde
pendent agreement, like tl at at Vande
grlft. The whole thing In a nutshell is
that the Amalgamated association
seems anxious to havo us foue theso
men at Scottdale nnd Saltsbuig to tome
Into their fold again. This wo will not
do, 1 do not think It will come to a
fitrlke. Mr. Shaffer will cool down a
little, and when tho men have had their
little vacation riming the hot spell all
will be well aguln. One thing is cer
tain, the vvorkmnn hns got all he
asked."
The i mnor that President Schwab, of
the Pnlted States Steel Porpoiallon,
might be nsked to come to Pittsburg
to settle the trouble now pending,
caused some little discussion, but both
Sec tetaiy Jarrett and Piesldent Schwab
denied that theie was any need of his
set vices. In line with the Intimation of
Sectetuty Jairett that there will be no
leal utillce was the appearance ot the
lipiclquattcis of the wenkrts today. All
piomlnent otlleem weie on hand, and
several private consultations were held,
Tho piesetit nnd the finmer vice-presidents
of the districts wete busily en
gagfcl all dav, and indications aie that
Piesldent Shaffer himself expects an
ea.ly adjustment of the complication.
