TIE NAIL FEEDERS DECLARE Tn
HouRs A DAYS WoRK.-.As indicated q
few days since, there is strong feeling
among the employees Of the nail mills in
this vicinity 10 favor Of q reduction In
the hours Of labor 10 ten hours per day.
As we understand 1t, the nail feeders, for
instance, are required to commence work
at 6 o'clock in the morning, and alter q
recess Of thirty minutes or so for dinner,
continue until Q in the evening, thus
putting in IN average Of eleven and one
half hours per day. The boys COM
plain that by the present. arrange
ment they are compelled TO sit in
their seals the entire day, without
any exercise whatever, and as a conse-
quence they do moi properly digest their
food. Elsewhere, they say, ten hours IS
the standard days work, and for the pur.
pose Of taking some action looking TO the
adoption Of the ten.hour system here, all
feeders we're invited TO attend a meeting
at Goetzes Hall, in Centre Wheeling last
evening.
Although only portion Of the feeders
Of the city were present, the hall was
crowded, and the meeting was large
one. About s o'clock Mr.. Wm. Hamilton,
OF the Belmont Mill, called the assem-
blage to order, and nominated Mr.. VIM.
Shields, OF the La Belle, as President.
Mr.. Shields was unanimously chosen to
preside, after which Mr.. E. G. Crosier, oil
the Riverside factory, was elected secre'
tary. D,,,.
Mill, stated that it was his understanding
that the movement had originated with
the nailers, who had engaged the hall and
made the necessary arrangements Tor the
feeders to meet. Il was the desire Of the
uailers that the feeders should appoint
delegates from each mill to meet with
them at McLain's Hall on Friday even
ing and take appropriate action in the
premises.
The chairman requested an expression
OF views, pro and con, from the feeders
present, whereupon the following gentle
men spoke briefly, advocating the measure
under discussion: W. S. Smith, Of the La
Belle; VIM. Hamilton, Of the Belmont;
VIM. Shields, OF the La Belle; Geo. Gund-.
ling, OF the Top Mill; P. W. Gundling, OF
the Riverside, and John Wagner, oil the
Riverside.
Charles Albright, Of the Riyerside, and
Michael Gruber, Of the Belmont, spoke in
opposition 10 the measure. Mr.. Gruber,
however, wished it 10 be distinctly I'M
derstood that he was in favor Of having
one hour at noon.'
A vote was taken upon a motion to
adopt the ten.hour system, and it was
unanimously carried, with the under.
standing that the half holiday on Satur-
day be retained, and that there be no
working "over time"
Five delegates from each factory were
appointed 10 meet with the naiIers to.

ling, Ed. Day, David Paxton, William
