Operations are rapidly going on in
connection with the new nail mill at
Brilliant. There are 100000 brick on the
ground, and hauling stone and other work
is in vigorous progress. J. r Robinson, OF
Bellaire, has the contract for the stone
work, and will begin cutting on Monday
morning. Jacobs. of Wellsburg, has al
read begun making brick.
The REGISTER saws that ironworkers are
leaving Wheeling in numbers for Pitts
burg, Youngstown and elsewhere. Now
we would like to know why these men will
leave there homes to work elsewhere on q
$5 so basis when they can obtain employ
ment at the same rates any day at Wheel
ing. Aren't they carrying an abstraction a
little too far?-Steubenrille Gazette
There is nothing new to record in the To-
cal aspect of the strike, either of the iron
men or coal miners. At the BASTARD shaft
a small force of miners is at work at a re-
duction of from 90c. to SOC. per ton, but
most Of the diggers decline to 60 in at that
rate. They refuse the same rate at the D.
& T. shaft, and reduction of q half cent
q bushel at the Jefferson. The other city
mines are running as usual.-Seabenrae

Steam will be raised TO try the the new
mill engines at Mingo, this week, but II
will be month. before the mill is ready to
start. Samuel Hodkinson is building two
new dwellings on his addition opposite the
spring on the main wagon road, and will at
once erect three more. He has also laid OIL
an addition of fifteen lots east of the c. T.
railroad. The Anchor Oil works are in oP-
Grafton. David Simpsons new brick IS
ready for the roof. Work has begun of ex.
cayating under the Pan Handle railroad for
the new crossing agreed upon by the Com
missiopers and the railroad company. l:
is almost opposite the spring, and will cor
rect long standing annoyance and danger.
The strike among the ironworkers in
this district was not settled yesterday as
was expected by most people. There are
at least five points of difference between
the workmen and their employers, the ex-
ira quarter of dollar to the boilers and
difference asked by the nailers for cutting
light nails being the principal ones. Pro
and con opinions as to the former have al
ready been published in these columns.
As to the latter, the nailers insist that
they must have either more pay for
the light nails. of which the feeder
cannot cut more than II or ~ kegs, where
as be can cut about IA of common nails
BelInire Independe7lt. II the nailers are so
tenacious on this point, why do they refuse
TO pay their small nail feeders the same
rates paid the large nail feeders, one-half
the earnings of the machine? If there is
anybody who has right to kick it is the
cold nail feeder, who only receives two.
ffths OF the product of his machine. The
nailers are now the best paid men about
the mill, excepting the rollers.-SteubenviHe
