STRIKERS AT IRONDALE.
The Condition of Affairs Unchanged and Jarrett Denounced.
[Associated Press dispatch to the Gazette.]
CHICAGO, June 3.—The situation at Irondale is practically unchanged this morning. The men will hold a secret meeting this afternoon to take action upon a telegram alleged to have been received from President Jarrett advising the men to use their own judgment as to whether they stay out any longer or not. There is a strong feeling here that it would be advisable to continue work until the 15th, or while the committee at Pittsburg is conferring with the manufacturers.
Some of the men are loud in their denunciation of President Jarrett, claiming that he should not consent that the men should do anything different from what is done at Pittsburg. Leading men among the iron workers express great confidence in Jarrett, however. There will probably be a split among the iron workers over the question whether to go to work Monday until pending the arbitration or whether to stick out until Pittsburg signs the scale. To-day is semi-monthly pay day at the mills. The men are all quiet and orderly. Between $20,000 and $30,000 is being disbursed to the men.
