The strike at the Beilaire Steel
Works. is a bad and regrettable condi-
tiCn of affairs. After refusing the
proposition to arbitrate, the company
! last week boarded UP its premises with
an eIght-foot fence and after employ
ing special police, started up the plant
with new men imported from other
places. While no trouble has as yet
taken place, it is not at all improbable
that it won't occur. The men were idle
all summer and after working for only
few weeks saw strange men, many
OF whom are alleged to be foreigners
and negroes, come into town and take
their jobs. The prevailing sentiment
is that if any trouble occurs that the
company will be in a measure respon-
sible for it, as they have shown no dis
position to make an amicable settle
ment. The men struck because they
could not make( by CONSIDERABLY as
much money under the new scale
which the company put into effect not
withstanding the assurances given
them that the increased output of the
plant would make up the difference.
The men state that the new machinery
will not do this, and the sensible sig
gestion has been made that if the COM
pany is sincere in its stated assurances
TO give the men as much as under the
old scale that they arrange a settle
ment on that basis, and if the men find
that in working the machinery longer
that the output can be increased the
scale can be readjusted to that extent.
The people of Bellaire are much con-
cerned about the outcome of re diff
Guilty.
