There was an incident few days
ago al the South Side factory, which
l.
men considerable encouragement. 0ae
of the workmen was about 10 take his
tools from the plant to 90 10 work else
where. The manager told him he had
better not YET take his tools away for
good. This significant hint, small as
IL may seem 10 many, was heard with
much satisfaction 10 all interested.
Rumors were circulated on the South
Side last night which filed people gen.
orally with JOY. They we're that the
flint glass workers strike had been set
tied, and that the Hobbs and Central
glass houses would soon be put 10 op-
GRAFTON again. 1t was impossible TO find
out II the rumors were true, az II the
strike has been settled it must have
been accomplished at Pttsburg. and
none OF the men OF the committee from
this city are here at present.
Work has been begun tearing away
the ruins Of the fire at the Whitaker
mill. There is a force OF men at work
tearing. away one OF the largest smoke
stacks. II is said that only this one
will have TO be removed, as all the 9th
ers can be used again. A force OF team
sters are at work also, and it will not
take long TO clear away the debris.
Some of the wOrkmen who were tearing
down the stack yesterday, were In 4
very perllous position for time on the
crumbling smoke stack, but no acct
dents resulted.
There is another hope that the labor
differences existing at the Lower Bea-
wood mill in the pudding department
are nearing a settlement. About two
weeks ago the REGISTER reported that
the puddlers met President Russell
Hubbard at the mill Office, aud they re-
fused TO 20 to work for the price Offer
ed, 81 a ton, when steady work could
not be promised them. The meeting
adjourned by Mr.. Hubbard telling the
puddlers that II they desired they could
have another meeting with him within
the next thirty days. At this meeting
out OF the l60 puddlers present only
four were in favor Of going to work at
the reduction. Since that time number
of the puddlers have signtied their will
ingness TO go to work. The puddlers'
committee posted notices in the mill
yesterday to the effect that they would
like 20 meet the president again this
morning AZ the mill Office az IL o'clock.
This meeting has, therefore, been ar
ranged, and it is very sincerely hoped
that q satisfactory settlement will be
reached. The mill has been idle since
Christmas and employs $50 persons.
