Several OF the tonnage men who secur-

! In the (
} WorldOf Labor

The industries of this local vicinity
have a brighter outlook than that of
last week although this week will find
many employees and departments idle,
yet the last week has shown some
gains, also some promises for the flu
ture. The gain was the La Belle mill
signing the scale, the lower Benwood
mill resuming in full Tuesday, also a
part of the Riverside Monday week.
This coming week the American Tin
Plate Co. will meet at Clevel' ID in
conference, with the tin-workers asso-
citation. AS previously stated 1t is
thought the only trouble in regard to
the scale, will be the tin house en-
ployes Tor better known as the finishing
oepartment) but many we'll posted men
think this difficulty will be amicably
settled and that all the tin works will
soon be back at work as far as the
scale Is concerned.
One of the most serious troubles con-
corning industrial troubles is that
which comes from Youngstown and
Niles. Ohio. OF course, there is two
sides of the question. One is this: that
Youngstown is the Homestead of 1892,
as far as difference in wages is con-
cerned, but no clash between employe
and employer Is expected. 1t is stated
that a strong effort will De made to
break the strong unions in that city.
One unexplained question is this
trouble is, why should the same scale
as adopted at other clties be obnox-
ious at Youngstown? At Niles it is
said about the same situation exists.
y !, anHc al hO rl~
are more than they can afford to meet,
and from the present outlook the out
come hangs in the balance.
The industrial market still remains
inactive and has shown but little
change in LIE last week.
The steel department and plate mills
of the Riverside mill resume work one
week from tomorrow. This plant has
been idle for some weeks, and this news
of resuming in these parts is most well
come to the many employees. No news
regarding the resumption of the tube
department was learned.
The Lower Benwood mill will be on
in full next Tuesday, the steel plant
having resumed last Tuesday. This
will give every employee of this mill
steady employment.
The repairs of the Belmont mill are
progressing satisfactorily and the plant
will soon be ready for operation. al
though no time has been named, when
they will resume.
All of the potteries in the city are
working full time.
The Top Mill is still idle with no no.
hce when they will start up.
The La Belle iron department has
signed the scale and will resume work
in full on Monday. The decision reach
I'D between the employees and manage
ment is said to be entirly satisfactory.
The La Belle tin plant is still idle
but it is expected that an agreement
will be reached this week, in the diff
ferences, that have arisen in the new
scale, which applies to the tin house
employees.
Whitaker's mill is on in full. and a
good business is reported.

MARTINS FERRY.

The new addition to the Laughlin tin
mill is being rapidly pushed and the
contractor expects to make much head
way with the foundation this week. 1t
is understood ,-le company would like
to have this structure finished before
cold weather, and as the Injunction
against the company has been dis
solved, it is most likely the work will
be vigorously pushed.
The Laughlin shovel works is busily
engaged every day, with their works
fully employed.
Mann's foundry is working every day,
with plenty of orders ahead.
McDermott's tool works is working
every day, having all the work they
can do.
The Stanton Heater Company seem
to run continually, and from reports
their orders seem to come in as fast as
they can handle tl4em. This industry
is certainly enjoying a good business.
The Benwood furnace still continues
to work, and have their full force of
workmen busily employed.
The Aetna-Standard shows much &C
tivity, having twelve of eighteen mills
employed. The work of repairing the
other six minis is being rapidly pushed.
1t is reported that just as soon as
these mills are repaired they will re-
sumo.
All the glass factories in this city
still remain idle There has been
many rumors that they will resume
soon. and make their six weeks stop
at different times. but no such reports
have been confirmed, and it is thought
by many that all the factories will take
the limit of time
1t is reported that New Martinsville
has raised its $4,000 for the new glass
house which is being promoted by
Messrs. Matheney and Douglas, of Mar
tins Ferry. From all reports the new
company will soon commence the cree
ton of the building, and make arrange
ments for the necessary machinery.
The iron and steel plants at Mingo
are only in partial operation. 1t is said
several departments will resume this
week, and the balance in the near flu
ture.

STEUBENVlLLE, o., July 2s.-
Some parts of the industrial situation
in this vicinity have not got a rosy
peach-blow dinge. There is talk that
the National Steel Co. will close down
the La Belle-Jefferson furnace here,
which it is operating under lease. The
pig iron from this furnace goes to Min
go Junction where there are great
long, high piles of pig iron which will
aggregate over mile in length.
An Irondale there is a decided blue
feeling over the prospects of the scale
being signed and the tin min started.
The Mingo tonnage men hardly know
where they are at, as it is rrnored
none will get back and also 1t is ru-
mored since the refusal to consider the
amalgamated scale that the National
Steel Co. Is going after the amalgamat-
ed for keeps. On top of other talk it
is said in accordance with plans. that
instead of tonnage men there will be
men hired by the month at prices laid
down by the big trust. The tonnage
men are strictly up against it in deal

This city is now rather quiet, owing

way,
