Both sides present @ firm front, and when the day turns go off this evening all the milis in the West but twelve, operated by non-union men, Will be closed down for an indefinite period. A dispatch from Youngs- town, Obio, reports the milfs in the Mahoning Val- ley preparing for a protracted suspension. Notwithstanding the discouraging reports re- ceiveds by the mill men, they do not seem to be worrled. Almost ali who were spoken to be- eve that the suspension will not continue longer than (wo or three weeks. A shut own is always hecessary at Uhis time of the year for repairs and Stock taking. The manufacturersy, they claim, have used the same arguments for years, and always opposed the Amalgamated Association as vigorously as at present. Since the strike of 1ss2 the scale has been signed in conference, wita but one exception, and that Was in 1885, When a strike was declared. One by one the firins signed tue scale that year, and the ‘Strike Was over and the mills were all In operation Witiia a month.

At noon the Amalgamated officials reeetved information that tbe scale had been signed by the Apollo Iroa and Steel Company, of Apolio, Pa. ‘This makes Unree firms that have signed s0 far, the other two beipg the Akron Iron Company, of Akron, Ohio, and the Laughiin and Junction Steel Company, at Mingo, Olslo, ‘The three milis employ about fourteen huniired men, A ch just received by President Keating, of the Manufacturers’ Association, trom the Keliy Iron Company and the Belietonte Iron Company, of Ironton, Olio, states that they will not sign the scale, even If itis signed by the Pittsburg manu- facturers, as they can get thetr work done cheaper.
