This is pay day at the Riverside iron
works.
The Riverside steel works dropped
bottom yesterday until mex, Tuesday.
More of Hoffman's tannery will be
laid off to-day. There will still be a
part of the plant on.
Wednesday night at the blast furnace
OF the Riverside iron works one OF the
theirs burned out. aud it caused six
hours's delay at the plant.
The tack factory OF the LaBelle iron
works is of until further orders. No
materials on hand caused the depart
ment to become idie. The factory has
had one of the greatest OF runs in the
history Of the mill, having been in
steady operation for over year, depres-
sion and all.
The developments CT yesterday Ia
the pottery situation only made II seem
more likely that both the idle plants
will be on next week. The Advisory
Board OF the Wheeling workmen held g
meeting yesterday morning st Menge X
Howley's hall on South Market street.
kilograms were received from Iren-
ton and East Liverpool. The one from
Trenton con tirmed the report that the
strike had been settled, and that all
the immense plants OF the city would
be in operation again 10 few days.
The one from East Liverpool said that
the conference OF the workmen OF that
city was still in session, aud
that II was not known what course
would be taken BY the workmen. 1t is
understood, however, that they will so
to work soon 10 all probability. In the
afternoon at the same hall, the Advis-
orv Board held another meeting. In
the course or IL, three OF the workmen
composing q com mittee was sent 10 the
Office Of the Wheeling Pottery Com pany
20 meet President Franzheim. The re-
suit OF the Washington conference,
which brought about the settlement,
was stated to the committee. This re-
port TO the committee was Identical
with that which appeared In the RE
IsTEB Of yesterday. The committee was
non-commital, and returned ana gave
the result OF the conference to the Board
still in session. Roth these meetings
were adjourned without taking any def
Mite action. Last night at the hall OF
Walther s. Dueker, at Twenty-sixth and
Chaplipe streets, the kilnmen's order Of
the potterymen held secret meeting.
Among the kilnmen Is where one or the
hitchesis against the compromise. At
the Washington conference, 1t will be
ram q n, harad that-the kilnmen did not
enter the agreement One OF the Board
said at the close OF the meeting that no
definite action had been taken by the
kilnmeu. The most Important meeting
OF all will be held at Menge & Howley's
hall this afternoon beginning at2 o'clock
and all the potterymen in the city inter-
ested 10 the cause are earnestly invited
to be present. IL is hoped that there
will be a full turn out. At this meeting
II is expected that some definite action
will be taken. One OF the REGISTER
men had talks last night with some Of
the operators, and also with many OF
the workmen. The operators all think
the men will go TO work at once. The
workmon ssened more Ia favor OF going
TO work than on the previous day, or at
any time since the settlement was
reached at Washington. The probable
result OF the workmeu's meeting this
afternoon will be that they will decide
10 60 10 work. President Carr, OF the
Warwick, says his plant is now ready
for operation, and the La Belle Is en-
tirely ready and the engines In opera
ton.
