so far has been made to place it In
position.
The new shovel works is being
pushed rapidly, and the work of put

weather continues as it has, may be
able to complete the factory earlier
than the above date.

GINA Glass Company were very much
pleased with their checks for 80 per

number OF the bottle workers.
At Bridgeport the Crystal Glass Com
pany are working full time.
Bellaire seems to have the best out
look for every working man to have a
good Christmas. of any city along the

The new mine that is just being

Der of men.
Mr.. 7. l.. Lewis, secretary-treasurer
of the Ohio Mine Workers. in an in
terview, speaks very encouragingly of
the outlook for the miners, and gives
his reasons to substantiate his claims
that the Ohio organization to-day Is
in better condition than ever before in
its history. Where heretofore it has
been almost impossible to get an or
ganization the men are now anxious to
join, and almost daily he receives calls
from places that wish to join the union.
Mr.. Lewis is very confident that the
miners will receive an advance of at
least ten cents on the ton, and says
some say the advance will reach fifteen
cents. Some of the operators have
entered into an agreement promising
an advance. The coming convention
will be very interesting one, and
will have many important objects to
discuss, but none will be as important
as the wage question, and it is expected
that the national executive board will
push their demand of the advance of
fifteen cents agreed upon at their last
