The La Belle Tack Factory and How the
Nsilers VIII Work.
"What ia to become Of the small nail
trader" asked a REGISTER reporter of q
La Belle mailer, the other day.
"Well, / caunot say, but it looks now
As if some change In the state Of things is
bound to soon occur"
"How is the tack factory at the La
Belle coming oD?"
"They are getting in shape as rapidly as
possible, and when completed it will be
equipped with about twenty-six small nail
machines. Twelve of these have already
been declared vacant in the factory, which
throws three nailers out Of work"
''How does the company propose to run
the machines in the tack factory"
II think the company wants the men to
work at tack factory prices. Instead Of a
Job consisting Of only four machines it will
be Just double thst number, and the mailer
will be paid abont fifty cents per key for
making fine thripPening, the self-feeding

this rate mailer could make from six to
eight dollars day, which is not bad. The
only drawback is that it gives employment
to just half as many nailers, but OF course
that is better than employment to none. F."
"Do you think any objections will be
made by the nailers to such system of
work ?"
"Yes; there may some objection, but ]
do not believe il will amount to anything.
A Pittsburg establishment has BEEN run
ming tack factory right along side of their
nail factory for years, and the nailers are
paid tack factory wages for making small
nails, aud no kick has been made. There
fore 1t is not probable that the objections,
if there are any at the La Belle, will
amount to mach"

ID. IL. Stalsy Committed to jail I'm De-
fa1lt of $1,000.
Tha REGISTER OF yesterday morning
mentioned the fact that D. b. Staley, the
local manager of the Union News Compa
ny, OF New York, had been arrested an6
committed to Jail for hearing upon the
charge of embezzlement. Yesterday the
prisoner was arraigned before Justice Da
Wis, aud held in the sum Of $1,000 for s
hearing at D. m. on Saturday next MOI
being able to furnish the bond, he was
committed to Jail. Staley's embezzlement
will aggregate $500, Of which about $2O5 is
the company's cash. He made up $65 Of
his deficiency Saturday night, just before
his arrest, leaving his account still short
S143. 30. He made o full confess
ion of the situation to K. K.
Burke, the travelling agent Of the News
Company, who came down to see how
matters stood. In addition to the cash
above mentioned there is about $92 worth
of goods missing, which Staley says he
sold, converting the proceeds to his own
uses. 1t is said Stsley has been travelling
at a pretty lively gait since placed In
charge of the local office here. His dis
honest conduct towards the train boys was
the direct cause of his getting into
trouble, some Of them having reported
him 10 the New York office of the COM
psny. HIS method Of dealing with the
bows was after this manner: They would
sell fruits, papers, magazines, and books
at certain figures, and they would so mark
their sales correctly. II the article sold
amounted to twenty-five cents, lie would
raise the price on tie boy to thirty-hve
cents, and make the boy pay it. By this
means of swindling he managed 10 get .
good deal of cash off the train boys.
His shortage and entertainments were
soon discovered by the sgent, K r. Burke,
of Pittsburg. The company makes it a
condition, when they employ an sgent,
that he shall remit every week not only
his cash, but also correct list of goods on
hand. Staley failed to do this. and the
company soon became suspicious that he
was in arrears for some cause, and ordered
Mr.. Burke to investigate, which he did,
with the result already stated. Stsley has
been arrested for disorderly conduct, and
has paid for the same since he has been in
Wheeling. ]. G. Schafer, young man
from Pittsburg, now has charge Of the
agency, be having been put in possession
of the agency Saturday night By Mr..
Burke.

on Stencils place, and Judging from indi-

O'Brien hit hard to Peak, who made a
