Union Is Recognized.
Ishpemipg, Mich, Aug. 1.-THE striking
miners decided yesterday To remain out
uDtn snch time as their union is recognized
by the companies. This means a long period
of idleness as the companies will certainly
not do business with the union, and in the
unequal fight now on the men may be
beaten.
Many strikers are complaining that the
committee selected to wait upon the COM
panies' agents did not report the result
of their conference correctly. The report
was that the companies would give them no
answer, whereas each company Offered
to treat with its own men.
Several workmen are being employ yed
about the mine, and the advance in their
wages TO date from August. Miners are
paid $1.7O per day and surface men 81 20.
The latter is a raise of 20 per cent over
the old wage rates.

Another Bridge.

For some years past there have been
at times desultory remarks about an
other bridge across the kennebec in this
village, and of late these remarks have
taken on a more definite character aud
have even crystalized into acts. Some
of our enterprising citizens have engag
ed a representative OF the Berlin Bridge
Company of Connecticut, to come and
look the matter up aud make an estimate
of the cost of throwing a steel structure
across the river at the foot Of kennebec
street, and he is expected here next week.
There is certainly a magnificent place
for bridge at that point on the river
The banks are 40 feet high of solid ledge
on either side which would greatly
simplify the masonry problem, and, if
the structure could be made of one span,
must greatly reduce the expense thereof
This the bridges. builder can determine
when he arrives.
That bridge at the above named
point, nearly one-half mile below the
Island bridge. would be a matter OF
great convenience to our people and
utility TO the business of the place and.
at the same time, open up a very dcsir-
able scope of country for building sites.
it requires but glance at the situation
to demonstrate.
There can be no question of the de-
STABILITY of the bridge and there is room
for little if any doubt but what it will be
erected sooner or later. The question is
only in the degree of desirablity consid.
cred in relation to the cost OF securing
it. This is question the citizens of our
town cannot afford to ignore and they
will look at it candidly in this light.
They have demonstrated time and again
that they are ready to make public in
vestments when there is good prospect
of realizing a fair dividend upon them.
but they must be reasonably assured of
this before they make the investment.
TIE REPORTER has strong predilec-
ton in favor of progress and improve
ment in our splendid town, whether
public or private. We have great faith
in ways and bridges as means for the
development of town and the advaut-
ages of this project. now that it has been
preached, are many in our mind and we
are liable to write of them later.
