 IhOmpsOn Steel Co. to-day notified their employees that unless they accepted a reduction of wages a suspension of operations would be necessary. The firm employs nearly 5000 men and the probability Is that the reduction will be accepted as the number of idle men in this vicinity IS greater now than at any time during the past ten years. Only about half the mills and glass factories are in operation. There is great dis tress among the poor in consequence. The poor board officials have nearly ex- hsusted the appropriation for out door relief and has yet six months tO run.
