on the night of the expiration of the yearly
contract. The men bud declared positively
that they would strike at the date of tho ex
piration of the yearly contract. This term
of expiration was to occur either nt 0 o'clock
this morning, or li o'clock this evening, just
ns the authorities decided. At midnigh' the
firm clcverlv forestalled tho men, and llatly
declared b shut-down. Instead of being a
strike then tit the great steel works, tho ac
tion of the linn ha made it a lock-out. This
rather puts the men on the defensive.
Tlie Amalgamated Association ha not yet
declared a strike. They had accepted the
oiler of the firm, and instead of declaring a
strike nt the date fixed by the firm, .liiuel,
tlie men had waited until June iM before
their final move wa made. Of course the
action of the firm inclosing all department
with tho possible exception of tlie beam
department forces a lock-out instead of a
strike. As the Amalgamated has disbanded
Its annual session, thero is no telling when
the men will bo in u position to declaro a
strike. Tlie Homestead six lodges of the as
sociation are rather independent, but they
cannot declare u strike, anil ho? to receive
the support of the association, without the
consent of the latter to tho strike, ('mil
this consent is given both sides will quietly
rest on their oars.
The scale to govern wage In blnrk plate,
sheet steel and tin plate mills was settled ut
n protracted meeting tif the conference com
mittees of the iron and steel sheet manufac
turers and the worker. The basis of settle
ment was otlicinliy stated ns being satisfac
tory to both sides. The adjustment of tlie
rates ha been so effected a to place tho
men in a position to earn even more wages
than during last year, tho only changes
made being such as wero necessary to tho
changed condition of manufacture, due to
tlie utilization of improved machinery. At
the close of tho meeting a resolution was
passed tlinuking Mr. Weilieand J. P. Ba
tello, the acting reorctaries, and John
Jarrett for their efforts to induce reciprocal
concessions.
This umicniilo adjustment of the steel
sheet and tin-plate, scale cannot but have an
inspiring effect on those who have emraged
in tho business, us well as others contem
plating entering it. The scale regulate tho
wuge of uhoiit 10,000 employes working in
wcnty-live mills.
