Last week there was considerable
trouble among the employees OF the
Wheeling Pottery Co., and the manage
menL That trouble has not all been
settled yet. There were differences at
both the La Belle works and the new
sanitary plant. The trouble at the La
Belle was about a new shape the man
agemeut was about 10 place on the
market. The men put price on this
shape OF about q half dozen articles,
aud the MANAGEMENT said they could
not afford 20 pay them the price. and
then make any money for themselves.
a strike was imminent, but commit
tee Of the worSmen went 20 President
FrauZhiem and the MANAGEMENT de-
Cided 10 not make She shape al ali.
This settled the matter, and now all
the men are Gt work aud are making
good time. The trouble at the new
sanitary works Is of more serious ma
ture. All OF the men have gone on
strike, and it now looks like the works,
which are new, having been In opera
ton for less than two weeks, will be
idle indefinitely. Tho men claimed that
they were not making as much as the
sanitary wOrkmen OF other places, aud
they struck. There are no negotiations
now pending between the management
and the wOrAmeu for settlement OF
the differences.
