ing and Decide 10 Meet the Feeders

Yesterday q seemingly rellaDle report
was sent broadcast throughout the city that
n settlement had been made at the Top,
Riverside and Belmont mills with the old
naiIers, and that all of them who could Sc
cure Jobs had done So Naturally the re-
port excited good deal of interest, ana II
was soon being discussed all over the city;
reporter, armed with the rumor, started
ont TO discover the truth of the matter,
and the first persons he ran across who
could give him information were two nall
ers. one from the Riverside and the other
from the Top mill factory. ,,
ssWhat do YOU know about this natter
ventured the reporter.
Don't know thing, and think there
is not a word of truth in the rumor-at
least we have heard nothing of il"
The reporter then visited the Riverside
office and met Mr.. Culberts0n. Have you
and the old nailers come to settlement
queried the reporter.
NJ, SIT, VIC lialNS NOhAN ~ nv
Int a number of our old nailers came to us
to secure machines in the factory. There
are sixty machines yet vacant, and THINK
about thirty old nailers will take them. "
what scale will they work On?'
''The seventecn-cent or manufacturers
scale-cxactly the same that is being paid
the fecder-nailers. They expect to go to
work on Monday next"
The newsgatherer then visited the Bel
mont and Top mills on the same mission.
AT the former mill he was informed that
there were only twenty idle machines, and
that while nothing definite had been done
REGARDING the return OF the old nallerS,
| there had been a surface indication OF
something of the kind. However, the
number of machines idle at this factory
would give full jobs to only five nallcrs
At the Top mill the officials said that
nothing of the kind had transplred. 30
the rumored settlement is another OF the
many myths of like kind that have been
! toisted off on the public since the nail
strike began.
As stated in yesterday mornings REG
IsTER, q delegate meeting OF nallers, rep
resentinu all the factories i'll this vicinity,

pose of taking action regarding the de-
mands of the feeders for one-halfand three

could not be ascertained, but it was learn
ed that committee was appointed to meet
the feeders, inform them of the action OF the
meeting, and attempt, ifpossible, to make
an amicable settlement. The meeting
will De held this morning and it is likely

SO that the factories Of BenwOOd and
l.aBelle can resume Monday.
1t is learned that the Jefferson mill at
Steubenville has applications for all the
vacant machines in the factory from out
side nailers, but will hold them open for
day or two before filling them with
strangers.
