| Mill Matters.
| Last week the owners of the La Belle
mill notified the heaters that the extra
furnace would be put to work. On Mon
dsy last the heaters called the mill COM
mittee together to decide the question,
claiming that it would make them lose
time should the extra furnace go into oper-
alton, as the furnaces already at work were
ableI to keep the nail factory in material
10 work on. The mil committee decided
against the heaters and in favor of the man
ayers of the mill. Upon being informed
OF the decision Of the committee, the heat
ers decided to strike, regardless of the
Ecommittee, as they thought they were
than the committee. This firm stand OF
the heaters caused quite commo&on in
this generally quiet mill, and the vice pres
| ideut of the Amalganated Associatio Mr..

them 10 keen on at work and he thought he
