THE POTTERY TRUST.
A Pc sitive Statement That the orgsnIza
ton VIII Be Formed.

A Pc sliive Statement That the Organlza-
ton VIII Be Formed.
A telegram from Philadelphia says the
prominent potters of Trenton, N. J., Penn.
sylvsnis, New York and New Englar d
States, say that the proposed trust combi.
nation will be formed, notwithstanding all
reports to the contrary.
The manu- facturers are quietly maturing
their plans, and it is expected that every.
thing will be in readiness TO place the com
binstion on a satisfactory and permanent
foundation within a short time.
Arrangements have been perfected fol
the holding of meeting at Long Branch,
n. j., the last week in July, and, esti
mating from the number of responses al
ready Ieceived in reply to the circular sent
ont, IT is confidently expected that every
pottery manufacturing center in the coun-
try will be represented.
The Cresson Springs conference, where
final arrangements should have originally
been made, resulted so disastrously that al
one time it was apprehended that the
whole thing would fall through. The Op
position which originated at the meeting,
and started W. s. Hancock TO the West fol
information, has borne fruit.
The western manufacturers discovered
that the Trenton people were operating
against them, and demanded time 30 az Ia
study the proposed trust. In the mean
time the formal organization of the trust
was postponed, and it has been learned
that the Trenton potters who named
themselves the trustees in the articles
have yielded to public opinion and re-
signed.
Before the Long Branch meeting there
will be an examination of all the figures
which the promoters Of the enterprise
have gathered.

ing, it is row positively stated, gauge for
rolling nail plate was adopted, which will
either be ratified or rtisc!ed at the meet
ing 10 be held on the oath. Just what the
gauge is cannot be positively ascertained,
bat, nevertheless, it is known that in sew
eral mills ten-penny nails are being cut
from eight-penny iron, and the resulting
nails are being tested in various
ways to discover whether or not
they will stand the strain to which
nails Of various sizes are ordinarily sub
iected. The experiments and tests so far
as the manufacturers have been induced
to make them public have all tended to
prove that the new light nail will stand
the pressure nearly as well in all cases,
and in many Just as we'll as the old heavy
nails Il is also rumered that the work
men will demand an increased price for
cutting the light nails, as they do not
count up nearly so fast as the old timers.
The nail makers are down to fine points
now, and any further reduction in wages
means protest.

The great ssventy-fve hour straight
away pedestrian contest commenced at
Healy's Garden last evening with eight
entries Messrs. Cartright, Connors, He.
gelm en-, Engledmen, Ray, Golden, Day
and MoGrane. Everybody knows several
of these men TO be famous walkers, which
ia assurance enough that the contest will
without doubt be the finest ever seen in
Wheeling. The sporting editor Of the
REGISTER, Was chosen as starter and ref
cree, and at twenty minutes past nine
o'clock he gave the word 'gon and the
men started off on a run. The man who
had the scoring arrangements in charge
did not spprt ciate the needs of the &C.
casion and the boys could not
keep tally with any success, so the men
were compelled TO stop for a time until
other arrangements could be made After
the second start was made everything went
along smoothly, and quite good sized
audience looked at the race with interest,
applauding the men as they made spurts.
McGrane, the Wheeling boy, had many
friends present, and as he kept along with
the leaders, be was frequently spplauded.
1t is understood that Hegelman, Con-
nors and Csrtrigbt are all determined to
win first place, and as they are all fine
pedestrians the contest between them will
be especially interesting. There are sew
ersl others, however, who are confident oil
coming in at the head of the procession.
This is the best contest that will he seen

it will be well attended. To-day will be

The foundations of the new Island
school house are about completed.
A large lot of ornamental pressed brick
arrived yesterday from the Tippecsnoe, O.,
yards for Stifel's new tenement block or
north Main street.
A meeting of the National Window Glas;
Manufacturer Association will be held in
New York to-day. Two Bellaire firms are
represented.
Lima oil has been successfully used fol
fuel in a PittsbuTg rolling mill. 1t Is
used with a down draft" and is said to
do better and cheaper work than natural
gas.
1t is now stated on pretty good author
ity that the Union Bridge and Terminal
Company will build passenger station in
| North Wheeling for the accommodation Of
those who do not care to 90 round the hill
to the city. The station will be built on
the first iron pedestal, and will be reached
by stairs from the ground.
There is probability that in the near
future the Island cars will turn of at Main
street to the main track and run down as
far as Fourteenth street; thence up to
Market and around to Tenth This Is an
improvement of vast importance, and
would be appreciated By the people who
use the line. The proposed plan would do
away with the delays of cars on both lines
at the Market street turn table, and would
place people at the doors of the Main street
hotels and in the business part of the city

the purpose they can be made much

The Convention of the Window Glass
Workers now in session IN PittsbuIg has
passed a resolution bOycottiDg all the firms
that advertise in the National Labor Til.
buIe and the National Glass Budget.
This ia done because the editors of those
papers zee fit to criticise the action of
James Campbell and his cohorts in the
matter Of importing men from England to
make window glass for Chambers and Nc
Kee at Jennette. The Tribune is the Of
fetal organ of the Ama'gamated Associa-
ton and the National Federation Of Min
era, while the Budget is TIE official organ
of the American Flint Glass Workers
Union. 1t is altogether probable that if
the men represented by the two papars
to be boycotted strike back at the Com
moner and Glass Worker, the official organ
of the window glass men, that the window
glass people will De glad to come to terms.
In the meantime the American Fiints are
taking an active part in the contract labor
matter.
