Rus- sia is anything but pleased, It appears the action of the Prussian authorities is simply re- taliatory measures,as many Germans who had been reaiding in Russia wore forced to return to their native country.

As netther side has yielded and the contract year has expired, all mills in this vicinity closed tc-day, There are no exceptional cases, such as at Pittaburg and Wheeling where the domand of the workmen will be complied with, and the shutting down is general, St. Louts, June 1,—Ths Belleville nail mill and the Weatern nail works at Belleville, Ill, shut down Saturday evening in accordance with the arrangement apreed upon at the re- cent meeting of the Western Nail assoclation, The new Pittaburg scale has not arrived in the aity yet, and therefore no action has been taken by the manufacturers, WhEELING, W, Va, June 1.—Saturday night all iron and nail mills in the city and vicinity shut down for an indefinite time.

The company yesterday laid off six and seven hundred men, which is about one-half of the mill’s full force, Thesa men are thrown out of work, but no trovble is an- ticipated as they are all of first rate character, Pr11sBurG, Pa., June 1.—The workmen in the nail mills where the new scale has not been signed, went out on a strike this morn- ing.
