SOME LABOR MATTERS.

What an Iron Worker Has tn Say-Nine
Hour 8, stem Granted Other Notes.
"what do you think of the outlook Of
the Pittsburg confsrence?" asked REGIS
TER reporter of well-known iron worker
the other day.
"Well, haven't much idea as to what
the outcome will be, but l know that the
men will accept no reduction, because it is
palpably unjust demand, as the manu-
fac,urers we'll know"
''How do the Wheeling manufacturers
look at it ?"
1.-TWO of the mills would run right
along at the present rate, while one Is
backing up the manufacturers IN their
demand for reduction. Why these men
have acknowledged that they never before
paid less price for the manufacture Of
sheet and plate iron, and the claim OF some
of them that the market is slow and that
stock is accommodating doesn't count
for anything because 1t Is untrue
The market is in good condition and
stocks are pretty well cleaned up, so there
really is no just cause why they should de-
sire to force reduction upon the men, ex'
cept TO add to their own profit In b
truth of my statements may be easily
backed up by referring to the action OF the
workingmeu's wsge committee in propos'
ing three. months shutdown to the man
ufacturers' wage committee at Pittsbure
on Saturday, and the latter's silence re,
garding the proposition. One thing Is
sure-if the manufacturers persist in their
demand for reduction, long and bitter
fight will result, which would dislike to
see ~

The Hot Weather.

The intensely hot weather of Saturday

and yesterday got away with twenty sew
en- gallons more. Ice cream was in lively

Works, Yesterday Morning.
About nine o'clock yesterday morning q
particularly sad accident occurred at the

deayored to Jump from the truck, be
missed his aim and fell on the track,
where he was run over by the engine,
which stopped with its full weight upon

time he was released. ~

still Alter Gas.

The Wellsburg people seem to be deter
mined to find supply of natural gas if it
exists within their bsiliwick. AT a recent
meeting of the manufacturers and business
men of the town, the agreement reached
was that the manufacturers were to sub
scribe $1,000 among themselves, and the
citizens were then to raise 81 900, making
1000 in all for tine purpose Of sinking
two wells. When this sum is raised
Samuel George will agree to bind himself
to sink the third well on different terri
tory. The basis on which the msnufac'
turers agree to subscribe was that each
concern would pay in proportion to the
amount of gas it consumed when in active
operation. Six hundred acres of land on
Panther Run have been leased for the ex-
pertinent.

Nine Hour System Adop.ei,

Mr.. Chisholm, the contractor on the new
city water works, called his men together
after paying them off Saturday evening and
announced that he would leave the ques-
ton Of system of work entirely with them.
If the majority voted to adopt the nine
hour per day system at 81 80 per diem
it would be that way, but if they
preferred the ten hour system at sixteen
cents per hour, that rule would prevail.
A vote was taken and two-thirds of the
men voted for the nine hour system, and
it will 20 into effect to-day. This settles
a question that promised to make some
trouble.

that before many months his manly shout

have been accorded me from Tucker and

counties will have thirty-two votes, and
J am reasonably certain Of their solid cup
port. Mineral will probably divide hei
vote, and think that | will receive my
share OF her support.

present a candidate with anything III
unanimity, they will accord him hear
