Ar the session of the Amalgamated
Association OF Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers, held at Youngstown some
weeks since, o resolution was adopted to
the effect that the nailers and nail feed
ers would hereafter work eleven and a
half hours for days work, instead OF
twelve hours, they claiming that they
were not able to stand the continuous
twelve hours work. The men i'll the
Wheeling mills are demanding that this
rule be applied, and the manufacturers
are not willing to accede, so that from
the present outlook trouble is likely to
result from it there. Later-ln CONVEX
satiun with some of the nail men OF the
Jefferson Iron Works, this morning, we
learn that no trouble will likely result
from the resolution at these works, as
they only worked II hours at any time,
going on at six in the morning and quit
tim, at five in the eyening.-SeubGariHe
