to purchase only such remedies as are reliable

Ihc Strikers Confer, but Take No Def.
ntte Action.

The nailers and feeders employed on
Belle Isle, who went out on strike on
the 18th Of June, held a conference az
Heider's Hall, in Manchester, yesterday
and discussed the situation at some
length, but adjourned without taking
any definite action.
Saturday evening, June 10Th. the
men stopped work as usual, and the
Monday following (Whit-Monday) be-
ing legal holiday, they did not return
until Tuesday morning. When they
did return notices we're found posted 10
the nail department-bOth plate-mills
and cuttiDg-room-that after June 2Sth
wages in that department would be
made to conform 10 those paid at Har
risbuig, Penn. This was equivalent to
a reduction of 10 per cent. The nail
cutters, upon reading the notice, with
out making any inquiry concerning 1t,
unbel,ed their machines and went out
on a strike.
The nailers were all opposed to
stopping before working ont the two
weeks notice, but the cutters would
bear no such talk, and went out on
strike. The nailers, consequently,
were compelled to go with the strikers.
The men in the plate-rolling works,
about thirty in number, continued to
work for several days after those in
the cutting. room went out. The wea-
ther then became very hot and oppres-
siye, and Superintendent Baird went to
the employees at work and told them
that it was useless for them to con-
tinue preparing the material with no
men TO work il up. This made the
number of men thrown out there abou,
$50.
Last week several Of the striking men
had all informal conversation with Pre-.
sident Blankenship, who was very cour-
teous and polite, but made no offer Of
compromise. lie told them that the
works were open and ready for the
hands to return to their places if they
were willing to. do so at the price fixed
by the company.
The strikers committee called
meeting of their men (which was held
yesterday and laid the facts relating to
the conversation with Mr.. Bisnkenship
before them, with the above result.
Several of the men who were engaged
in the plate department attended the
meeting by special invitation and ex-
pressed their opinions concerning the
existing troubles. The men engaged at
the pudding mills and other depart
ments on the island are still at work.
and it is hoped that the existing differ
ences may soon be adjusted and let all
the men return to work.
The company claims that the prices
here have always been regulated by
those at Harrisburg, which are as
high as those paid anywhere east of the
Allegheny mountains, and the present
price of nails will not justify continu-
ing to make them at the present cost.
The employees. on the other hand.
say that they have been receiving very
small remuneration for their labors,
and that they could not afford to work
for less, it matters not what people may
work for elsewhere.
