Belle pottery was a glad sound TO many
Yesterday morning, after the idleness
OF nearly seven months. A number of
workmen went to work yesterday max
ing clay, as they always have to start
work one day at least before the re-
mainder Of the workmen to get
things in readiness. and at
five o'clock yesterday afternoon there
seemed to be nothing in the way OF
general start this morning at both the
Warwick and lower Wheeling works.
At half-past five a committee Of work
men called at the REGISTER Office and
said that all the men won Id report for
work this morning at the two lants
named, and added that although there
hands, dippers and saggar makers, they
would go TO work and the matters would
be adjusted in the near future.
The pottery Companies were also con-
fident Of a start to-day. The manage
ment OF the La Belle stated they ex-
pected the men to go to work, and that
the outlook for a good run was bright,
as there is little stock in the country at
the present time. II was added that
none of the statesmen would be put on
the road for some time, or until some
stock had been accumulated.
The management OF the Wheeling
ctatad that wit in the
next few weeks, the immense new sanl-
tary works, formerly the Wheeling
pottery, would be started In full, giving
work 10 about two hundred and fifty
persons, making in the employ OF the
company about five hundred and fifty
potterymen. This would be more
workmen tnan were ever employed by
the company. Among the Dig potterles
OF the United States, the Wheeling con-
Germ has stood second, and now when II
is on in full, il will employ nearly as
many potterymen as any plant in the
entire United States.
Some of the employees OF the War
wick pottery went TO work yesterday
getting the clay moulded in readiness
the general resumption to-day. About
half OF the two hundred employees OF
the Warwick will go TO work this morn
ing and tee balance of them will ind
work not later than the latter part OF
this week. 1t is said there that the out
look was bright for good run.
The potters' Advisory Board met at
Menge & Howley's hall early yesterday
morning, and sent Com mittee TO Pres
dent c. w. Franzheim, OF the Wheel
ing Pottery Company. They were
officially told of the agreement, which
has been published exclusively In the
REGISTER. The klnmen and the pack
ers. who were the last to agree TO the
settlement, decided TO go 10 work at The
1919 per cent. cut with the rest OF the
workmen, pending the settlement OF
their differences at East Liverpool, or
Trenton. The potters said whichever
way the matter Is settled there, the
Wheeling potterymen will abide by the
decision. The Committee then waited
on President Carr, OF the Warwick China
Company, aud from him they learned
the terms of the settlement, and the
final arrangements for going TO work
this morning were made.
In the afternoon the potters held a
kind of iolifcation meeting at Menge
& Howley's Hall, and gave themselves
over to good time centrally.
Matters were in this shape last even
ing when a telegram was received from
East Liverpool stating that the potters
up there would probably refuse 10 90 TO
work at the new schedule. Like intor-
nation also reached the management o!
the city potteries, and both
managers and workmen met
independently TO consider the
situation. The potters called 4 meet
ing ct Menge & Howley's hall a, ten
o'clock last night and at midnight they
were still in session and word was sent
out that they would likely not adjourn
before one or two o'clock this morning,
as they wanted to settle the matter
finally one way or the other.
At twenty-five minutes OF one the
meeting adjourned, those present hav'
ing decided TO go TO work this morn
ing. The information from East Liver
pool last night was not very definite,
but it is probable the men OF that place
will 60 to work in few days, as they
cannot stay out with all the rest OF the
country at work.
