Thirty-Five Skilled Men Will Walk
Out To-Day.
MILWAUKEE,, September 29.-At a
meeting to-day of the strikers at Bay
View, who still remain out, it was
voted to call out those of the radical
element who recently went to work.
1t is said that about thirty-five OF the
skilled workmen will walk out to-mor-
row. The reason for the course taken
is said to be that the Illinois Steel
Company is not paying the Amalga-
mated scale, which was in force when
the men quit in a body several weeks
ago. The result will be, it is said.
the shutting down of two of the nine
inch mills. Employees who returned
to work when the first break in the
strike occurred, and who belong to the
conservative element, will remain at
work. The Illinois Steel Company
will not listen to a committee of men
on the wage question.

There was a welcome sound ard
light in Bellaire last night. 1t came
from the steel plant, where the night
turn was on. The mills are now run

are hopefully waiting to see what
course he will pursue in regard 10
them; that is. those of them who have
not already secured work at other
points.
The merchants are also anxious that
men with families and homes in Bell
aire may secure situations in the local
works for apparent reasons.
The men who have already paid for
their homes are in better shape than
those who. having bought on the pay
ment plan, have not yet got clear OF
debt for them.
Trade in Bellaire has decidedly i'm
proved already since the mills started
work.
The citizens feel that under the new
management things will run smoothly
and old troubles be forgotten.

The Laughlin tin plate plant, which

The starting of the steel mills and
tin mills stimulates not only the trade
of the merchants. but also increases
the output of manufacturing establish
