Eelf Feeders.


To he Editor Of TIE Register.
In your issue of October 3lst / note the
following from Mr.. Chew, Secretary Of the
Nsilers Association:
The Eastern price for 10 pennies is l6
cents and 10 per cent. of for seIffseders,
which will bring it to IA 40, or nearly, as
Secretary Wise figures it, l43. But he
very shrewdly puts the price they offer
without saying anything about the 70 per
cent. off for self feeders attached to the scale
they are offering US There is another point,
too. The Eastern scale does not go below the
above prices, while under our scale the
price Of l0ds can be reduced to II cests,
and Is per cent off for selfteeders, No
one ever said that more vas paid in the
East for making nails, but we do claim
that the western manufacturers have such
advantages over those East in coal, natur-
al gas and many other attributes Of pro-
duction, that they are easily enrbled to
keep the eastern nails out OF the western
market"
In the first place. Secretary Wise mas
been out Of the city for ten days, aud had
nOinlng Whatever I'd 10 WIFI Tue COH para
tive statement published in your issue of
the 3Oth. That was published by order of
our Wheeling manufacturers, not by the
Western Nail Association, of which Mr..
Wise is secretary.
The selt-feeding business was not men
toned because their use in our factories
up to this time has resulted in benefit to
the mailer only, and our manufacturers are
certainly entitled to share in the gain
made by the introduction ofnew machinery.
To demonstrate this will 60 into figures Q
little Where self feeders are used, one
boy can run two machines, taking the
place of tro regular feeders This boy
is paid by the mailer for his services at the
rate Of from soc to 75c per day, while the
feeders would receive oHe.haT the pro
duct of the two machines. Let US see
how this will figure on full sd job. A cd
machine will cut 81 kegs per week, conse-
quently l4s kegs can be made on full
Job of four machines. Our msnufactur-
ers offer 349c per keg for cutting cold cd,
one-half of which is to be paid to the
feeder if fed by hand, and 25 per cent. TO
be deducted if fed by automatic feeders.
The following table will show what the
nsilers gain by using automatic feeders
instead of feeding by hand
