HE DIDN'T HEAR ABOUT IT.
President Weihe, Of the Amalgamaied
Association, returned yesterday from a
visit to the different lodges in the Ohio
vslley. He said that so far as he knew
there was no truth in tae report that the
nsilers at Wheeling hsd offered to work on
a salary for the next year. This move was
said TO have been taken on account OF the
present depression in trade and 81 600 per
year was the salary for which the men
were willing to work The mills through
ont the Ohio valley were not booming.
Some of them are a. work and some not,
but the prospects are favorable for a revi-
val.-PttsbWg Commercial Gazette.
