last Nav, and since that time has been
rebuilt, until now il is one OF the finest
IN the Ohio Valley. All the ore and
other materials are ordered, and will be
brought TO the furnace soon this week.
Everything else is in readiness for
start. II is thought that the furnace
will be on not later than the latter part
OF this week. IL employs about 200
men. Part OF the remainer Of the Bel
mont is on. A portion Of the nail mill
and the rollers and heaters are making
steady time. Il is expected that before
the latter part Of this week the entire
plant, giving employment 70 about 500
persons, will be in fun operation.
Wheeling is brighter industrially now
than for many months. The REGISTER
labor man, in his rounds OF the fac
tories OF the city and vicinity, found
very much encouraging news at nearly
all the works over last week. In inter-
views with the leaders 10 management
OF the mills IL was fouad that all talked
much more encouragingly. This week
will witness some very important re-
sumptiOns. and at many of the plants
new departments, when have not been
10 operation steadily for months, viii
be restarted with the prospects bright
for steady runs. At several OF the plants,
too, labor differences, which have been
agitating the wOrkmen and the mana
ayers for some time, have been settled In
, manner which is satisfactory 70 ALL
The LaBelle mill is doing as web as
any of the works in this locality. A
better demand for the output OF the
tack mill was never known, and the
men I'm this department are making full
time, and have been for several weeks.
Demand Is so good that the tacks are
shipped without being taken 10 the
warehouse, and there is no stock on
hand al all. The nail mill IS also having
good run, and the nailers are making
nearly full time. The rollers and heat
ers, too. are making good time. The
drivers OF the coal mine struck against
reduction OF from S1.5O day 20 S1.35,
and eleven OF them stayed out for few
days but have gone 70 work at the terms
offered by the company.
The potters strike in this city is about
the same as last week. Both sides are
as 6rm as ever, apparently, that they
will not give in. In East Liverpool the
operators are doing all they can at their
offer 20 get the old men 10 20 20 work.,
but these efforts have proved compar-
atively Intellectual, as only about twenty
OF the men have gone 10 work In this
city. As far as is known IN this city,
the operators have made no new pro-
positions to the men 20 90 90 work, and
are not insisting on il, but tue old en-
ployes eau go 10 work az the reduction
rs soon AZ they may desire The stri6-
ers are holding regular meetings at
their headquarters az Menge X HoWiey
hall on the South side.
Asmuch OF the E,na-Standard Is now
on as at any time since last june. There
are but few OF the mills now in either
department OF the big mill which are
not In full or part operation. The dit-
ferences at the plate mill, which have
been growing since last fall have been
settled, and this mill is now 0n ia all
departments. The miners OF the big
mill are making better time than for
many months, and they are we'll pleased
with the new way they are paid by
weight. There was no littietrouble last
week caused By the shortage Of gas,aud
several OF the divisions had 70 knock of
bv reason OF this. Yesterday was the
general pay days at the works.
The Riverside Iron Works continue
70 have their great run. At the big
plant now every department is on in full
with the exception Of new part OF the
tube works which was never in opera
tiop. The output from the entire mill
now is as great, II not greater, than
ever before in the plants history. There
was a break In the machinery az the
tube works q few DAYS ago, throwing
one of the bell-weld furnaces aud others
Of the workmen of for less than a day;
and those in management report too,
that the outlook for a steady run Is get
ting brighter every day.
The potters benefit concert last Wed
nesday night at the Grand Opera House,
was a big success. An audience filling
the opera house to the doors greeted
those who were 20 take part 10 the ex-
rellent programme. Some of the best
talent in this city and locality executed
most excellent programme. The pro-
raeds. which are 10 go 70 the striking
nstters OF this city, are not vet definite
" known, hut il is thought they will be
near $50 This sum will be given into
the hands OF the Relief Committee Of
the potters TO be given 20 those Of them
Who are in need.
The new machinery for the making
OF tin plate at the Etna-Standard is ar
irving. One Of the immense new ket-
ties. in which the tin plate is 20 be
made. has arrived. with some more OF
the machinery. Each kettle will have
fopr rolls. and .here are six kettles
II the company makes the most rapid
Drorress possible. 10 will be six weeks yet
before the new plant is In operation. Ii
will give employment 20 about 100 work
men - Of whom will have 20 be skilled.
The company is now making arrange
ment for securing the skilled wOrSmen.
There was a diversity among the mill
men Of wheeling regarding the way the
labor troubles az Youngstown, Ohio,
were settled. IL is known that the pud-
ding rate OF S4.75 ton and the Anal
gamated price was broken for the s.
rate. The settlemet caused general
conversation among the mill men IN
this locality. What makes the matter
have more significance IS that NOungS-
town is now regarded as the pudding
centre Of the East.
