The sawmill employees at West Duluth
will not strike; at least, that was thell
answer to an inquiry yesterday afternoon
The men have as yet taken no particular
interest in the strike at the Knox mill
and some of them even said that they die
not know that strike was on at thai
mill. .-
It Is said that the men employed by the
mills at West Duluth are better paid thar
at the mills at Duluth.
Merrill & Ring are said to have raised
the wages of their employees first, by
granting 10 per cent increase at thu
last pay day recently. This is said te
have been done voluntarily, hence thu
latter are reported as well satisfied. Some
claim that this increase, however, Is NJ
more than just, and does not any more
than offset the reduction made in the fal
and winter of lS96-'97.
1T Is claimed that Mitchell & Mcclure
the st. Louis Lumber company and the
LIE Sure Lumber company are paying the
same wages to their pliers that Merrill &
Ring are, viz. S1.S7k day. In some
other departments, it is said, some Of then
do not pay quite so much.
The Sawmill Workers union of West
Duluth still preserves its organization
but, owing to the backwardness in the
opening Of the saving season. the mem
bers have made no special effort as yet to
get on an active footing. The men say
that they have nothing to strike for. are
generally receiving fair wages, and will
expect a slight increase as the season ad-
vances. The only dissatisfaction expressed
was by the shed men at one Of the mills.
They are getting SLIGO a day, but think
they ought to have 81 rs. Still, they say
they have mo idea Of striking for it. Some
individual employees, It IL claimed. have
received q slight increase. on the side,
which will be paid to them at the end OF
the season. ~
One Of the mill men. in speaking OF the
voluntary raise Of wages by some Of the
mill companies. said:
'.It can be easily seen why some Of the
mill owners cutting logs for other people
do not want to raise the wages Of their
employees, for they are receiving less for
cutting up the logs than they were one
and two years ago. To raise wages Is.
with them. a question OF taking money
out Of already decreased profits. Il.
1.-THE mill ownlrs that-a cutting their
own logs. however, can afford to pay
more. owing to the advance in the price
of lumber. f55f Y

'TOBUILD STEEL Mill
wEYEnHAEUsER INTERESTS TO
CONSTRUCT ONE AT NEDAGAMON.
Contract Let for New Structure
Which Il Wanted to Handle the
Lumber Of the Company-Planing
Establishment-Wi Require q
Large Crew-News Tribune's Re-
port Confirmed.

Nebagamon is to have q new plant that
will be an innovation in its line. Fred
yerick Weyerhaeuser has decided 10 erect
a planning mill here and will have the
entire mill constructed Of steel, it Is said.
The contract has already been let and
work on the structure is to be started
at once as the mill is wanted 10 handle
all the lumber put out by the large lum-
bex. mill, which is already working at
ab06t half capacity. s.
The contract for the steel work to be
put in the mill has gone to outside par
ties. Officers Of the American Steel
Barge company, which is now fitted out
for furnishing such material, say they
did not bid for the reason that Weyer-
haeuser did not give that company suffi-
Client notice to allow the making of the
necessary estimates. The barge compa-
ny's plant Is ready to compete with the
Eastern firms in this line, but has not
as yet bid on much Of that work.
The building OF a steel planning mill is
an idea Of Weyerhaeuser for when this
planer is in operation It will be The only
one OF its kind in existence, It is assert
ed. The danger Of the building catching
fire by sparks or in any such MANNER
will be avoided and the structure will
also be most substantial one. The plan-
ing Of all Of the lumber turned out by
the big mill at Nebagamon will make
still more work there. Not only win the
planer itself require q crew to run Il
but more will be required to do the extra
piling and handling occasionei thereby.
