started in the near future. Yesterday
the notices were posted for the puddlers,
who desired their old jobs back, to ap-
ply for them at the mill not later than
Monday. 1t is thought this means that
the puddlers will be asked to work for
the rate of 81 a ton for pudding,
though this was not stated in the notice.
II is probable that the puddlers will 90
to work at the 81 rate, as many Of them
are talking that way. 1t is the inten-
ton of the man agement to start
tWenty-siX furnaces on about the
mi0dle OF next week. President Hub
bard has been in Pittsburg, bat came
home yesterday, when he ordered that
the mill be started, II possible. A force
of la5orers have begun to get the mill
in shape for running. 1t is ordered that
the castings In the old factory be brok-
en-, so that they can DO worked up dur
ing the first run of the mill. 1T is ex-
pected that the plate mill will 90 on
about next Wednesday. The plate mill
men have not yet been offered any re-
duction, but the laborerS have been re-
duced from 81. 33 a day to $3.50 day.
From the present outlook. before this
time next week there will be at least
three hundred persons at work at the
mill. The mill men are delighted over
the outlook.

Miners reel Encouraged.

Yesterday the scales in the Standard
coal mine of the Etna-Standard mill
were placed in readiness for operation.
Already the new rate has been in
operation at the Etna mine. Before
the cut the miners made 20 cents ton
for mining, and then they were re-
duced 10 So cents ton. Both these
rates included pay for the clean coal.
Mine Boss Ashton felt that the miners
would be advantaged by having the
scales put at the mines, when the miners
would be paid for all the coal they
mined. The price they will get now
will be 80 is cents ton, and they
think they can make better pay by the
new method than by the old. Both
mines employ over one hundred miners,
and by next Monday both the shafts
will be on in full.
