YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, Aug. 9.—An offi cial of the American Steel Hoop Company, whose mills have been idle since July 1, said to-night: “The company has plans under consideration that will result in the removal of the upper and lower mills here to the vicinity of Pittsburg, where they can be operated with less certainty of labor trouble. The company is willing to sign the ‘scale agreed ’upon at the’conference with the Amalgamated Association ‘and start the mills at once; otherwise they will be moved. The mills will be operated else where, if not in Youngstown.”
