Mill Notes or the Plant, and Those Pick
cd Up About tho Town.
From the outlook now it looks like
the iobbing mills would be the last TO
go on.
Michael Riley, OF the mill, wife and
family have gone for an extended visit
to friends and relatives in Pittsburg.
The engine which drives mills Nos.
10, 10, IA and Is, of the sheet depart
ment, is out Of condition, and they are
waiting for a new piston which has
been ordered.
An effort is being made to get the
puddlers on next Monday. This will
probably not be accomplished, as that
part OF the mill is little out OF order at
the present time, but is being gotten in
shape.
There are few OF the employees Of
the mill to be found around the plant or
in the town. They have gone on fish
ing trips principally to Ohio. Many Of
them will return Saturday to go to
work.
George Williams, one Of the best
known among the mill men, has gone to
Cam bridge, o., TO work in an iron mill.
The mill of that place has resumed, the
scale having been signed satisfactory to
all parties concerned.
Samuel Fell, well known mill man,
Is very III and confined to his home. He
was climbing recently, when he ran
nail into his arm. The nail was rusty
one and blood poisoning has resulted.
His arm is terribly swollen and he is
under the care Of the doctors.
Something that will effect the mill
going on in full soon is the tie up Of the
railroads in the west IL it lie lot settled.
The plant has been making shipments
in prosperous times clear to the coast,
and many OF the orders from that part
OF the country are being cancelled.
Most of the big mill is idle at the
present. The only part on is a portion
Of the tin plant, in the wash depart
ment, which has three girls at work,
and a few men. They are getting
things in readiness for the resumption.
The scale being signed for this depart
ment gives general satisfaction. The
new plant is now complete, and they
look for steady run after next Mon
day.
Twelve OF the old miners have gone
to work in the mines. The Local of the
Mine Workers has had notices posted
giving these mems names, as their action
in going to work was not justified by
the members OF the local. The general
situation among the miners is about the
same, the management of the mill still
refusing to take them all back to work,
aud the majority OF the diggers refuse
to go to work unless all are taken back.
When the mill does not 60 on in full,
not so much coal will be needed, as
much gas has been put 10. 1t is prob
able that coal will not be substituted
tor the other fuel for time at least.
The scale, as far as the mill in general
is concerned, has been signed and ratl-
fed by Advance and Mountain City
lodges of the Amalgamated Association,
which govern the workmen Of the mill.
There Is slight hitch on between the
employees of the jobbing mills aud the
management. This applies to the fold
ing of the skelp. Formerly the men
we're paid 81 80 extra for this process,
which requires additional labor. Now
it seems the company does not want to
pay that much. 1t is thought that this
matter will soon be settled. At least
the tin mill aud the sheet departments
are 10 90 on in full next Monday. This
will give work to upwards Of 500 men.
