The Nail Feeders ImbrOglIO-
Further FROM the NRilers' Side
Of the story.

ElltOa Iatslllgsncer:
| am deeply sensible that I am yiolat.
log promise made in my former COM
munication, in which ! said no reply
would be made TO any articles coming
from the feeders, but after reading the
communication signed by "Feeder," in
your issue Of yesterday, in which an at.
tempt Is made 10 have the public believe
that
Peter McCann
L much Sbused man,
and which places the parties whom 1 rep.
resent in an unenviable position before
the public, l am constrained by duty to
ask you sgain for space for reply. As
atidaYits are the order Of the day, We
have produced what we think
is 4 complete vindication Of our
action, besides sustaining every
charge made in my former article.
You will observe that Mr.. Bero and
Dir. La Flau understood the status Of
affairs exactly alike, while Mr.. Mccain,
for some unaccountable reason, either
would not or could not see it, and refused
to be comtorted. Granting, for argu-
ments sake, that Mccain was not no.
tilted, and that his story ia correct, he
is still radically wrong, inasmuch as he
violated the acknowledged rule OF long
establishment, viz that the preference
OF jobs shall be given to the feeder longest
in the nailes's employ. The sworn state.
ment Of Mr.. John Lewis, the engineer,
gives quietus to the patent cutoff gov
ernor story, which existed only in the
brain Of an excited nail feeder, while the
story Of the committee waiting on him Is,
10 use the Feeders very inelegant ex.
preston in yesterdays issue, "too dang
rotten thin"
These sworn statements are from re-
sponsible parties. We are willing TO
have them weighed in the balance OF pub.
lie opinion with Mr.. Cams. AfEidavits
as 10 Mr.. McCann's utter shiitlessness as q
workman could be added, but as that an.
pears not to be disputed point l iorego
to add them. might tell OF the little
episode that happened at the Riverside
mill not long since, but presume Peter
has astriking remembrance OF that affair,
We make no eight on Mccain personally
only abiding to his general Iuntellability
IA steady workman, in order that the
public may understand the great
stiffness, and the perfectly unexcusable
course Of such an intelligent body Of
feeders as we have at the La Belle In al.
lowing Themselves to be led by one who
has no fixed or settled aim as workman,
but who is certainly on the grand bounce
and. is the acknowledged King amongst
itenerant nail feeders. Bidding adieu 10
the subject, firmly believing that truth,
Justice and right will ultimately triumph,
aud thanking you for the space consum-
ed beg leave to ask attention to the fol-
lowing aftidayits.
