their fellow workmen, but it vas to the
members OF the manufacturers assoCia'
ton. President spauldipg, Of the Bril-
liant Iron Works, had notified the manu-
iacturers that circumstances had arisen
which rendered II necessary that his mill
should act individually in bringing about

The ConferotCs Committees oil the
Western Nail Association and the United
Nailers, Rollers and Heaters OF America,
met in joint session at the office Of the
Benwood Iron Works, in this city, yester-
day forenoon at 10 o'clock, TO attempt to
arrive at an, agreement concerning the
points In dispute between the nail manu-
lecturers and their employees since last
June. All the members OF both commit
tees were present, except Mr.. spaulding,
Of Brilliant. The manufacturers were
represented by w. Ii. Wallace, Of
staubenville, Alopzo Loring, Of the Ben
wood, i. j. Hearne, OF the Riverside, q.
D. Hubbard, Of the Top Mil, A. F. keat-
ing, Of Pittsburgh, ]. D. Dubois, Of the
Belmont, and John Russell, Of Ashland,
KY, and the workingmen by President
John K. Wier, secretary NJ. A. Chew,
Vice.P President Stephen Ripley, Trustees
Theophilus Pugh ant, w. 3. Lewis, Deputy
A. D. Work, Of this district, all Of Wheel
Ing or vicinity, and Deputies A. D. Long,
Of Ironton, ]. II. Clay, Of Terre Hauts, o.
II. squires, q Chicago, and J. G. Stephens,
OF Pittsburgh. 10 make this committee
more fully representiye, Messrs. John
Gavin and Henry Serig, Of this city, were
added to 1t.
Upon assembling the joint session or.
ganized by electing Mr.. Dubois President
and Mpssrs. Wise and Chew Secretaries.
A recess was taken shortly after noon
Till 2 o'clock, and the afternoon session
lasted till 8, when the conference adjourn
ed till 10 A. NJ. today.
THE INDICATIONS.
Before separating the members Of the
two committees pledged themselves 10
secrecy, at the suggestion Of Secretary
Chew. This pledge the members kept
inviolably 90 far as the efforts Of reporters
10 pump them would indicate. The nail.
ers outside OF the committee seemed, too,
10 be entirely In the dark as 10 the status
Of affairs at adjournment, but some manu-.
facturers not In the meeting were said 10
have "pointerS." II they had, though,
they kept them.
frequently during the conference each
eide withdrew into the adjoining room and
debated among the members some point
that had arisen. II was evident that ex.
trelne care was being exercised by each
side 10 secure all the concessions possible
and make as few 90 absolutely necessary.
The length Of time spent together i1attif.
ally raises the presumption that some pro.
sress was made toward q settlement, and
after the repeated declarations Of tbs man.
ttaOlurers that no proposals looking 10 the
changing Of the Status Of the ieederhail.
ers would be entertained, the only Infer.
shce possible is that this point has been
waived by tile nailefs.
After the conference dissolved the man.
uiattuteB' committee had long session
Of its own, during which some earnest die.
Ctsslon took place.
