Either Factory Is. to. Start up.

Information received at the IErEItI.
eESckR office yesterday afternoon from
Mr.. John K. Weir, ef Bellaire, President
ot the United Nailers Of America, that
the heatefs. and rollers scales had been
signed by President McCortney, Of the
Bei!aire mill, and that the rollers and
heaters employed at the factory there
won1d 20 10 work to-day. Mr.. Weir also
said that he bad received q telegram from
Belleyille, Illinois, saying that the ex.
tenaive works there, known as the Wall
mill, had signed the naflers scale, and that
the mill would 90 TO work this morning.
These statements were received with
different expressions by different manu-.
iacturers here. Generally 1t was stated
as beyond doubt that the factories would
remain idle st both these mills. The i'm
preston at first received was that 1t was
the Western Nail Works, with which Gen.
Powell Is connected, which had signed at
Bellvil1e, and 1t was doubtless this mill to
which manufacturers referred when they
secuted the idea Of its starting up before
the Others. The Wall mill Is q smaller
one. Mr.. Welr's information can be re.
lied upon, doubtless, as correct In refer
ehce 10 the Wall mill. Gen. Powell Is
one Of the frmest members Of the West
ern Association.
THE BELIAIRE MILL.
The Bellaire mill officials say the heaters
and rollers there will go to work to-day on
Il ives desired to, as the tool iron rolls are
In the train and II would be hecessary to
change them aud to buy tool iron II the
work in hand were not now finished.
Whether the factory will start soon they
refuse to say.
A prominent Wheeling manufacturer
said yesteriay that he expected the Bell
eise factory to start as sooa IS arrange
lnents could be made for 1t to do go. He
says the stock Of nails there Is practically
exhausted, the steel works are in opera
ton making metal, tool iron Is now being
prepared. and after this work Is done
there is absolutely nothing to prevent the
factory from starting, all the scales having
been signed. This Is the first time q
manufacturer has been known to make
this admission.
The Bsllaire Independent asserts: "The
Bellaire Nail Works and workmen stand
together and the entire establishment will
be In operation in a short time.n There
were one or two little breakages at the
steel works yesterday, but they only de.
layed work q few hours.
The news from Beileviiie as well as that
from Bellaire, was received by working
men and the general public here yeBter-
day with good deal Of quiet satisfaction.

each mill In this vicinity will meet id this
city on Thursday, at 9 o'clock 2. NJ, TO

relative to their demands on the nailers

premature, as there has been no meeting
OF the feeders or their committees TO act
upon the matter.
