Runner of Conference With j. Nor
ton Poole Company Denied.
NO CHANGE WITH PAINTERS
Stockholders of the Harlan & Hcl-
lingswortE Company Held a
Meeting Yesterday Stu.
alton. in Other Cities.

Yesterday was an unusually quiet day
for the local machiniSts, who are strik-
ing for nine hour day with ten hours
pay. There was no change in the situa-
ton whatever There can be no change
unless the J. Morton Poole Company and
the Harlan \ IIollingsworth Company
give in.
The usual meeting was held in Turn
Hall yesterday morning hut no musical
program WAS rendered. The entertain
ment was not given on account of so
many Of the men being ont 10 see the
horse parade Many Of the machinists
attended the Horse Show or the base
ball game in the afternoon. An elabor-
ate program has hcen arranged for the
meeting in Turn Hall this evening.
Machinists deny that committee of
the strikers held conference with off
cials of the j. Morton Poole Company
on Monday night. They say that no
such meeting was held and that the situ-
alton mt that shop is unchanged. The
machiniSts and patternmakerS of the
Iobdell Car Wheel Company held con
ference with representatives of the firm.
The matters were talked over but no
definite action was taken. MachiniSts
employed by the Lobdell Company work
on piece work and many Of them make
unusually large wages.
When prominent machinst was ask
ed last night what the men thought of
the results 50 far and what the present
outlook is for the future he said: No
machinists who are out on this strike
are perfectly satisfied with the results
attained 50 far. 1t has been a hig vic
over the country. In two weeks We
have won in every shop in Wilmington
with the exception Of two. the Harlan
IIolingsworth Company and the !
Morton Poole Company. In all tho
shops that have conceded the demand the
employers and employees arc on the hest
of terms. Officials Of the Companies arc
ms well pleased with the change MS the
men themselves.
There has never been the least dis.
senson among the men. None Of them
have ever expressed The least desire t.
return to their shops unless the nine hour
day is granted. The men are nil stand
ing together because they are positive
that they will eventually win. The end
Of the strike is not far off. The ShopS
cannot afford to mold out much longer
II would not be ut all surprising if tn
