TIE TIME Up,
But Nothing New 10 Developed I'm the
NaiierS strike.

But Nothing New 10 Developed In the
Naiisrs' strike.
At IL o'clock yesterday according 70 the
resolution adopted BY the nail manufsetur
ere. the time given the nailers to sign the
manufacturer scale expired. However,
nothing new in the situation was developed
yesterday afternoon, and both manufactnr'
ers and workmen seemed at loss to even
venture an opinion as to what the result
would be.
A reporter of the RBGIsTER called on .
manufacturer and asked him what he
thought OF the situation and what action
they intended to take in the matter.
well" said he, it will probably be- .
week before We can get things in any sort
Of running shape and secure men to lake
the machines But to give you the whole
thing in . nutshell. neither the manufactsF'
ers nor the workmen are at all anxious to
90 10 woii just at present"
What will be the effect should the Wheel
ing paileIs 70 down and feed the Bellaire
machines, a. reported they would?0
"0b, i do not think they contemplate
such an action at ALL and even if they did |
am sure the manager Of the BellaiTe mill
would not sanction the proceeding, as it
would be in direct violation of Mr.. McCourt-
ney's assertions at our convention"
The reporter shortly afterwards met
prominent mailer and asked him If the
Wheeling nailers would go to work at the
Bellaire factory on Monday chopping nails.
Il haven't heard any Of them say they
would" said he, and i do not imagine
that such is their intention. Besides un.
derstand there are Fifty machines at work
down there now-enough to cut all the nails
the mill Is in need of at present. The sit.
uation is complicated enough already with.
out making it more so. However, | think
the matter has reached . climax and will
be settled in some manner next Week"
A notice was posted up at the Belmont
mill yesterday, stating that as they had de.
cided to change the manner Officiating steel
the services Of the old heaters and helpers
we're no longer required. Gas furnaces are
being put in at the Belmont, but as men
will be needed to run them this action could
moi be interpreted by the men. A printed
noticed containing the resolution Of the
manufacturers was also posted at the factory
entrance.
Another manufacturer stated that the
market was we'll stocked with nails, and
there is no demand, except for few special
sizes; that the market would hold as long
as the strike remained unsettled.
Another report reached the REGISTER of.
fee last night that the Bellaire factory
would 60 on full Monday morning, but
whether feeders, nailers or learners would
man the machines could not be sscertained.
Ameeting of the nail feeders, the Bel
laire K. of L. Assemblies and the steel
workers Assembly combined held secret
meeting at K. Of L. hall, Bellaire last
night. Those present were very reticent as
to the business transacted the only thing
our reporter was able to learn being that
the object of the meeting was to secure the
stoppage of the steel works tomorrow.
An Associated Press dispatch says that
meme of the strikers in Pittsbrrg have re-
turned to work and are still firm, insisting
on last years scale of wages.
