A meeting Of the puadlers was he
yesterday afternoon In Stheir hall in the
Boyd Block. The meeting was 70 de-
termine whether they would work
three turns at some 81 the furnaces in
the Htna mill. The management at
first told the wOrkmen that il was the
intention Of the Compuny TO tear down
all the furnaces except seven, and that
they would discharge all but enough to
run these seven furnaces three turns.
This conclusion was afterwards with
drawn, giving the men chance 10 d.
vide what work there was to do among
all. The mon after aleugthy discussion,
accepted the latter proposition, and
will work three turns, each man reCeiv-
ing an equal share OF the work. This
Is not the first union mill that will work
three turns at the pudding furnace.
We are informed by one OF the officers
OF the Sub Lodge that the Sligo mill
and Iug's mill, IN Pittsburg, and a mill
at Hays station, near that city, were
working three turns and all three are
operated by members OF the A. a. OF I.

at this kind Of work a. tho 4Etna is
about l55 and the number actually
needed at the furnaces that the COM
pany intend TO run three turns is in the
DeighborhOod of 20. So that the way
the matter now stands 10 looks as IL 175
men will receive the work OF 20 men.
There IS no doubt as 10 the tearing
down OF the furnaces for that work has
already been commenced.
