OF the Wheeling Steel Plant Ysstsrday-No Vhans'

Matters Of Interest

II now looks as if there might De an
early settlement of the differences 81 inc
Wheeling Steel Plant at Benwood. AS WAS
stated in these columns several days SINCE
the men were becoming tired of their idle
ness, and were casting about to find come
way of settling the matter. 1t was UNDER
stood that the officials of the company mad
positiyely decided not to confer with tne
Amalgamated Association committee, ana
that if matters did not come to focus IN
another week, preparations would be made
to close the plant down for at least the first
six months of the year, and the company
would have its orders filed elsewhere.
This was their solemn determination
ratified, it is learned, by the Board OF Di-
rectors. This settled the matter Of con-
ference as far rs the Amalgamated Assocl-
ton wss concerned. The management
would not object to Amalgamatsd ASso'
citation men working in the plant at all,
but they would object to having the Asso
citation scale in force therein.
The difference is not matter OF wages,
az has been stated, but Of conditions. Inc
two scales, as far as wages are concerned
sre almost indentically the same. but the
AmaIgamation objects to plant seiline
steel to establishments that may nave
trouble with the Association, or that may
he non-union concerns, &c. ms the
Company would not tolerate and henc'
they signed the X. of l.. scale under wnlcf
the plant worked last year, and when ha'
no such provision. ,,
The X. of L. men in the plant decided
TO leave the matter with the Amalgamateo
Association and both sides remained hrn
until Yesterday, when committee oi tn'
workmen waited upon the officials OF tn'
Company in order to ascertain if satlsiac
tory settlement of the difficulties could mo-
be arrived at. The conference lasted som'
little time and the prospects are that 1t re
shifted favorably, but nothing could d.
learned lest evening. The committee vii
make a report of the result to meeting o
the steel workers to be hell this or to-mor
row evening. Now that the ice is broken
il is probable a settlement will be arrived
at. and a large number Of men who nav
