AMONG THE IRON WORKERS.

Prospects That a Number of Mills viii
Sign the Sheet Iron Scale.
Nothing out of the usual way was de
veloped in nail circles during the past week,
snd things are running along in the same
old manner. Ii was asserted on good au
thority yesterday that sixteen new mel
would go IN at the Benwood factory on Mon
day, but whether they are Benwood feeders
or not could not be ascertsined. Three
new men have been added at the La Belle
in the past two days, while several
probably have dropped Of at the other
factories. A report, seemingly well sub
stsntiated, says that manager Morrison, of
the Top mill, was asked to resign because
be refused to show the feeders how to make
nails.
The Bellaire Independent says: "In 3
casual conversation with Mr. John X. Weir,
President OF the Nailer's Association, VT
learn that there are now about $500 nail
machines in the territory embraced in the
Western Nail Association. Of these BE
states that less than 100 are in operation By
feeders, and that the yield from the one
hundred is less thsn-one,iourth what it wss
under the old rule For instance, when
the nailers attended the machines
keeping them in repair and
grinding, and the feeders fed, one hundred
machines would produce from thousand
to twelve hundred kegs, whereas now
hundred machines in the hands of feeders
produce from $50 to 800 kegs in the same
length ssof time. He regards the start as
q signal failure, and says that the compe-
tent feeders do not want the price cut down
because it affects all capable men who have
tailh in their merit securing them positions,
while some inferior chaps want to secure q
job whenever they can. Mr.. Weir thinks
This stop is made, Just like many other
stops when the scale is signed, to improve
Il 9 nail trade and sliffen the price.
In regard to the sheet iron scale, the fol-
loving from last evenings Pittsburg Chron;-
c'e is pertinent:
1t was quietly whispered on the streets to,
day that conference of the sheet iron
manufacturers and representatives Of the
Amslgsmstsd Association had been called
to take action on signing the sheet iron
scale for another year. As stated elsewhere
the Association adopted q resolution ct the
Convention held in Wheeling some time
since, requiring the scale to be signed before
August y, on penalty of q strike for non.
compliance. The scale has not been sign
ed, and the meeting has bean called to ar
rive at an understanding OF the situation
Both sides were exceedingly reticsnt, aud
information was difficult to obtain. That
the meeting had been called, was confirmed
by 9 gentleman whose authority is never
questioned. He stated that the meeting
rad been arranged for this afternoon or
evening, and he had seen the notices sent
out to the manufacturers.
At the Office of Jones and Laughhn one
Of the firm stated that there would be no
strike, as such course would be madness
Eow. The men were getting what they
ssssd. no Increase was demanded, and sign
ing the scale was only foruslity.

The Hearing Of Martins Ferry Citizen
, Completely Restored.

~
The Hearing Of Martins Ferry Citizen
Completely Restored.
The many friends of Mr.. Addison Co.'S, OF
Martins Ferry. have lately been surprised,
when upon speaking to him they discovered
that be was able to hear nearly as well a.
anyone. The surprising part Of this comes
from the fact that for twelve years past Mr..
Coss has been unable to hesr ones voice
unless raised to very high key. Not many
wears ago be became deaf from some cause
and his hearing steadily continued to grow
worse until FIVE years ago, when he was
unable to hear even the ticking of watch
when pressed closely against his ear, AMI
he almost gave up attempting to hear any
one WHEN they spoke to him.
Meeting the gentleman the other day q
reporter asked him in an ordinary tone OF
voice how he was getting along, when he
answered that his hearing had almost en-
urely returned to him. This seemed strange
in view of the tact that he had been
deaf so long, and the reporter asked him
what had wrought the wonderful change.
Said he:
About ten weeks ago l applied to DR..
Slocum, the well known ocuhst, and be has
been operating upon my organs of hearing,
with the happy results you see. For long
time l was bothered with constant
misery and pain IN my head
which has now all disappeared,
the good results of Dr. Slocum's treatment.
You can imagine that it is pleasure to
have my hearing back after so many years
of deafness, which causei much trouble,
both to myself and friends. l shall be
pleased to see anyone and tell them of the
wonderful cure made in my case BY DR..
Slocum, iftbey will call on me at my house
or at the establishment Of Hoyle 4 Jones,
in Martins Ferry where | am employed"
This cure is one of many that have been
made, of course, but it is not an every day
occurrence, by any means, to find man
who has not been able to hear with any dis
tinctness for twelve years being able to
converse and listen to friends speaking In
an ordinary tone of voice. 1t is good deal
like blind man being rendered able to
again to view the beauties OF nature and art
after many years Of darkness. Here is
man who, after long time, is able once
more to listen with satisfaction and delight
to music and the voices of friends, and en-
joy the many other advantages Of well
and healthy man.
DR.. Slocum has made many wonderful
cures since his advent among US, and he
may well feel proud Of his achievements in
his profession. He makes an exclusive
practice OF the eye and ear, and was former
ly connected with the celebrated oculist,
Or Sadler, of P,ttsburg. His Office is at
lll6 Market street, and any one affected in
any manner that comes under his special
ties will do we'll to call upon him,

Co. said be did not spprehend any strike,
because there wss no reasen for calling out
the men, who were getting all they asked.
The workmen were making money, as the
mills were busy but there was nothing tor
the manufacturers at present prices.
These views were conceded with BY Q
number of the manufacturers, and gem
ersl willingness to sign the scale was ex-
pressed. Such being the case, the prospects
of strike are very attenuated indeed.
