BUSINESS MEN TO MEET.
A State Convention of Merchants to be
Held In This City.

A State Convention of Merchants to be
Held In This City.
When the special business which had
called the Chamber together was disposed
of, Mr.. C. B. Hart took the floor, and said
he felt that there had at last come a time
when something might be done to attract
outside capital and invite immigration to
the State. 1t was true both people and
money had been coming in Of late years,
but they had not been coming fast enough.
II aDy other State or Territory had re-
sources equaling those of West Virginia, in
the same ratio as REGARDS territory, they
would sound a trumpet which would be
heard around the world. We ought to do
some blowing ourselves, in a legitimate
way, and the present was a good time, in
his estimation, to sound a preliminary
blast.
Wheeling had a tremendous interest in
the development of the State, an assertion
which he proceeded to demonstrate I'M very
conclusive way, and then said the business
men of the town ought to be, and he had
no doubt would be, heartily in favor of the
proposition, which he desired to presently
submit. Before doing 50, he called atten-
ton to the fact that very little money
would be required. The chief expense, at
least at the present time, would be secur-
ing the insertion Of proper announcements
of the objects of the gathering and the time
and place of meeting, in the principal
-ArraAa-nra AE NhA SkaNn Ilnaa khA -
sentative business men Of the State got to-
gether, ways and means would be speedily
devised to bring about a material benefit
to the entire commonwealth. He had not
imagined, upon first thinking Of the project,
that parallel action was being taken else.
where, but during the day he had found,
in the Associated Press reports, the follow
ing, which he read:
LITTLE Rock, ARK, January 3l.-A
State convention, comprising 400 delegates,
met here to-day to organize q State Bureau
OF Immigration, to continue in operation
until the converting of the General Assem-
bly,, which body is petitioped to create
such q State department. Fifty thousand
dollars is to be raised to pay the expenses
Of the work by voluntary subscription
from each county BY pro-rata assessment.
The railroads doing business in Arkansas
were all represented by their chief officers,
and they are the guests of the convention"
This was very much in the line of what
he had in his mind, but his idea was more
fully set forth in the following, which he
desired to submit for the action of the
Chamber:
WHEREAS, The considerable increase in
new industrial enterprises in West Viz
ginia, the building and serious projecting
OF additional railroads, the unsurpassed
natural resources and ~cheapness of our
lands furnish a substantial foundation for
3 systematic effort in the line of State de-
yelopment,
ResOiued, That the Chamber of Commerce
of the city of Wheeling unite and urge the

LOOKS LIKE TROUBLE.
THE ANALGANATED ASSOCIATION OBJECTS
TIT K. OF L. SCALE,
As Signed BY the Riverside COmpany-A Meeting
Held Yesterday Afternoon and
lis Result.

When the scale presented to the River
side Company by the Knights of Labor
was sigued on Tuesday, ii was gener-
ally supposed that the whole matter was
settled satisfactorily, and the works would
resu me when ready, without further
trouble. But it appears there is an Anal
gamsted Association Lodge among the
steel plant employees, and they objected to
the K. of l.. scale being accepted over
theirs, and refused 10 agree to 20 to work
under the terms of that scale.
This state OF things was communicated
to the Amalgamnted officials, and Tuesday
night Secretary Martin came down, and a
meeting of the Amalgamated men in all
branches of the Riverside plant, nail fac.
tory, steel plant, furnace and all to be
represented, was called.
The meeting Was held yesterday after
noon at Knights of st. George Hall, in the
Reilly building. The meeting was
largely attended, Secretary Martin
presiding, and Vice President Dan
lei O'Leary of this district,
being present. The discussion over the
two scales was long and exhaustive, judg-
ing from the length Of the meeting which
did not adjourn until nearly Z o'clock. II
is understood that NO other action was
taken except the appointment OF q COM
mittee to wait upon Manager Frank
Hearne, of the Riverside, to-day, to confer
respecting the matter. Just what differ
ences there are between the wv scales
could not be learned, but the men claim
that it is considerably lower than that
paid by any other plant in the country,
while the manufacturers say there IS nc
difference in the rate of wages, but some
slight changes in the mode OF working.
A REGISTER man talked with a River
side man, last evening, but he said he had
nothing to say concerning the meeting nor
the scale, except that they would demand
the Amalgamated Association scale.
An official of the Riverside said to the
reporter:
1--WE worked last year under the h. oil
l.. scale and never had a with OF trouble,
and we propose to work under the same
scale this year. That is what We signed 1t
for. If there was any decrease in the
wages as compared with the A~malgamated
Association scale there might be some
cause for objection, but there is not, and
the whole thing is a fight between the
Amaluamsted Association and the Knights
of Labor, and the men will be the
sufferers, because nothing pleases the
Pittsburg people better than to See trouble
at other places, as they get all the
benefit. What trade we lose by n strike,
they capture. There are only about sixty
Amalgamated mel out of 275 employees IN
the works snd | cannot see why they
should want to dictate to the majority
Secretary Martin will return home this
evening and it is probable that more light
will be thrown upon the matter to-day
1t ia sincerely hoped that it may be set
tied amicably and at once.

MI. and Mrs. Joseph Sp eidel Entertain
Their Friends, Last Ev ening.
A very pleasant reception was given by
Mr.. and Mrs, Joseph speidel last evening,
at their elegant residence on Chapline
street, which was attended by a large num-
Der of their friends, who spent the time in
a most enjoyable manner. Prof Joe
Kramer's Orchestra occupied the hall and
the large north parlor of the residence was
occupied by the dancers, while the library
was filled by those who preferred cards.
Everything was arranged in that hospit-
able manner which the host and hostess are
noted for, and of course those pres
emit could not fail to enjoy the occasion.
1t was not until ! O'Clock that the Ia
bles were laid in the dancing room for re-
treatments, and the guests were in good
humor to devour them. This wa a fea-
ture of the entertainment which was not
by any means the least enjoyable, as the
luncheon served was of the most appetiz-
ing character.
Thursday. wa several hours old before
the guests began to leave, and even then
they did. so reluctantly, and with many
Acknowledgements to their host and hostess.
Among the visitors present were: Mr..
and MI. and Mrs. Crawford Il. Booth and
son, of Texas; Miss Grace Kelly, of
GAINESVILLE; Miss Leila Ingalls,, of Zanes-
vile, and Miss Pickering: of Columbus,
Ohio.

NEW QUARTER
Authority Given to Lease q More Eligible
Room,

uthority Given TO Lease q More Eligible
Room, .
Before a~djourning Secretry Hszlett made
a report from the committee appointed to
sscu re other and more eligible quarters for
the Chamber. He said that the room o
occupied by the Ohio Valley Lite Assocla'
ton, on the second floor of the Reilly
block, might be had for a reasonable hg-
urs, and submitted the matter to the
Chamber for its action. After some dis
cussion, the Committee was authorized
to lease quarters for the coming year,
which probably the room in the
Reilly block will be secured. The room
has many advantages over the present
quarters, principally in the matter of To-
cation, IT being at the intersection of two
business thoroughfares, and in the direct
line of travel. 1t will be kept open every
day during business hours, and probably
in the evenings as we'll, and will afford a
comfortable and much needed rendezvous
for business men, both resident and
strangers.
