The News of the Industries at Martins
Ferry.
Saturday the fires in the Buckeye Glass
Works were let out and the factory shut
down for an indefinite period. Since the
Buckeye resumed they have been running
one furnace-the lower one, a l6.pot Gill
furnace-which has turned out an immense
lot of frst-class ware. most of which has
been disposed of. The factory has been do
ing frst-class business, considering the
business depression, and now has less stock
on hands than when it resumed. A general
line of ware has been manufactured and ex-
cellent time made.
The Elson is still running, with fair
amount OF orders on hand, and will con-
tinue to run as long as this continues.
They expected to shut down Saturday,
November 29th, but decided to run
on until Saturday, as orders kept
ceming in at moderate rate. This
past week additional orders were received
and they concluded not to shut down yes
terday and will keep the factory in opera.
ion as long as they keep receiving orders.
1t is thought that next Saturday will be the
last day, but it is hoped that the factory will
continue in active operation.
The Etna, which has not been doing
scarcely any business for several months,
will resume to-day with the sheet and
pudding department on double turn and
the bar and guide mill on single turn. OF
course, only part of the pudding fur
naces will 60 on.
Operations will be resumed as usual at
the Laughlin mill. The Laughlin is doing
well.
The Standard mill will not 60 on to-day
as reported. Mr.. Graham, the Secre-
tary, is back from trip in the interest Of
this mill.
The Martins Ferry Stove Works shut
down on Thanksgiving and will most likely
remain idle till the first Of the year. Mr..
Joseph Medill, the President, is back from
trip in the Interests OF this enterprise and
represents business dull.
Saturday the first heat Of stoves was
made at the Belmont Stove Works. Secre.
larry c. f. Irwin said to the REGISTER
representative: "As we are just starting
We do not know the weight Of our stoves or
cost, and can make no estimates as yet.
We have already received good many in
quiries for catalogues. We are in no hurry
to sell, and expect to be careful and not self
TO every Tom, Dick and Harry, but we in
tend TO try and work up agood trade among
good parties. From every indication our
prospect are right good"
Mr.. W. II. Wood said, During the year
we have sold over 100000 brick and have
about $4,000 on hands yet, which are sell
ing slowly. On account of the times we
don't expect to sell as many next year as we
have this year.
Exley K Co., the planning mill men report
n good business this year, but they now have
little work on hands with the outlook not
near so encouraging as it was this time last

The Latest Information Among the
Glass Men.
Talk with a Manufacturer - Pittsburg
Workmen Refuse a Reduction--.Gen-
eral Industrial Affairs.

Much Of the talk Of the city yesterday was
in relation to the glass situation, and, OF
that, more in its relation to the factories
across the river than our own. As men
toned yesterday. the Central and South
Wheeling factories stayed out Of the Asso-
citation and viii continue, for the present
to pay by turns" Yesterday REclsrrR
reporter met an officer Of one of the facto-
ries over the river and hadfa conversation
with him relative to the move to do away
with turn" work and substitute the piece
basis. In the beginning he said some
light would be thrown on the situation 5y
the instructions to managers. For instance,
his com pany has issued the following to its
manager:
"In changing your system Of paying your
pressers, blowers, fnishers and gatherers
give them to understand that there is no re-
duction of wages demanded, and that all
you want is an equal show with your COM
petitors. Ifthey notify you on or before
noon, December 18th, that they are willing
to accept this change and will agree to
meet you and fix price TO be paid them by
the piece as low as is being paid IN Pitts
burg for same or like work, you will block
your furnaces so that work can be resumed
as soon as scale Of wages can be agreed
upon. If they refuse to accept the change
or make you no reply you will put out your
fires Saturday, December 18th, and stop all
expense that is not actually necessary Tor
the protection of the property"
"0f course" said he, when the writer had
read the above, "all we want is to be put on
an equality with Pittsburg. This | can ex-
plain in a few words. We have been pay
ing so much turn of say 400 pieces. That
sum is paid, no matter now many detective
articles, or seconds, may be in the number
In Pittsburg, they pay by the piece and
only pay for finished articles. You may
readily see where we lose. here"
But understand" said the reporter
that glassworkers object to the piece system
because they lose by any breakage which
may occur between the time ware leaves
their hands and the time it comes out of the
annealing furnace"
That is not strictly true There is an
allowance by arrangement, for all seconds
and imperfect articles that come out of the
liers. There sse two great objections to
The turn system. One is that we cannot
pay simply for what We get. The other and
most important objection is that it does
tot encourage skilled labor. Under this sys-
ten, poor workman gets asmuch as fine
one and there is no inducement to man
10 perfect himself. Under the piece sys-
fem a good man makes more money than
his less skilled neighbor and as there is no
limit 10 the quantity he may make, he is
always stimulated TO do good work. When
ore of our men becomes proficient, he goes
to Pittsburg, where he can make better
wages

The Lively Core spondents Unhappy Do

Col. Fred D. Mussey, the lively CORE
spondent Of the Cincinnati Commercial Ga
zette, who is so fond of slurring West Vir-
GINA and West Virginians, has the prospect
of lively time at home. He is married to
and separated from Ex-Gov. Charley Eos
ters daughter and news item is going the
rounds to the effect that the Governor is
pushing his daughter to procure divorce.
A dispatch says:
The statement is made that Ex-Governor
Foster will probably have some trouble be-
fore be gets through with the case which he
seems to be championiug for his daughter.
1t is alleged that the first Mussey knew Of
the application for divorce was in a publish
ed interview with Governor Foster, to
whom he had never made an answer in
pint and he charges the Governor with the
entire responsibility of making the affair
public.
1t is intimated that unless Mussey can
effect reconciliation he will make de-
tense in Court, and rich developments are
promised if this should take place. Having
been the Governors Private Secretary he
is supposed to have information, which if
diyulged would be of an interesting charac-
ter. He is said to have no scruples or be in
any way cramped by his former connection
with the Governor. There is great num-
Der of people about Columbus who claim to
know all about the affair, and there are
others who are engaged in the pastime OF
denying that separation has occurred.
