and Belmont mills, and the Wheeling
s,sel plart, was considered at meetings
ofstockhoIders Of the respective con-
earns. and they were unanimously
IN favor Of the project The matter
will be finally settled on or before April
one or two industries have started
nm and the number of factories in
C9sration will be materially increased
during the coming week.
We don't like to discourage the A. I.
e w. e., but IL is our duty to warn
,bam 10 be alert and watchful. The
tendency Of several branches Of the flint
business is toward Capitalization OF
Dower, and the next demands after the
completion OF their successful Organiza-
lion will be to increase the moves and
decrease the wages. We already hear
surh things discussed by manufacturers,
claiming that owing TO the enormous in
crease OF output in this country, foreign
markets must be sought to secure trade
FOR the surplus products. To compete
with foreign countries ware must be
made cheaper, and how are you going
10 do 10 unless you increase che moves
and decrease the wages? We hope our
warning will be timely, and that wiser
counsel will prevail upon the part Of the
manufacturers, and that they will not
attempt 70 increase the move and de-
crease the wages Of their employees. Let
them exercise other economies and
lessen the cost Of ware.-Budget.
