PRESIDENT SHAFFER COMING.

VIII Speak I'm wheeling This Week
to a Mass Meeting of tie Union
Men of This City Ten Scabs
Caught in Martins Ferry.
There was joy with the strikers In
Martins Ferry and Bridgeport, yester-
day, when they learned that the River
side men would all come out to-day,
and also that the Bellaire steel plant
would probable be idle.
Vice President Walter Larkins, Of the
Second district, made the Joy much
greater, by announcing that a mass
meeting would be held either Wednes-
day or Thursday at the Fair Grounds
on the Island, and that President Shat
fer would address the meeting. Presi-
dent Shaffer is really loved by the men
and the announcement of his coming
was received with much enthusiasm.
Vice President Larkins is on his met
tie and is thoroughly aroused. He
seemed much encouraged last evening
and while in conversation with some OF
the men, asked them to be conservative
and remain sober. The men have much
confidence in Mr.. Larkins, and his or
ders are fully obeyed.
Only one episode of note occurred In
Martins Ferry yesterday, which was
promptly disposed of. Two scabs ar
rived in town about noon and wended
their way to the Laughlin tin mill. but
were caught by the pickets, who talked
t othem, and used arguments against
their going to work. The men were
not abused. but were treated kindly. the

BELLAIRE UNION MEN OUT.

Amalgamated Men Go Out at Bel
laire h Mill Running With
One Third of Its FOrce.-Superin-
tendent Thomas Says W Will
Run This MILL"
The officials of the Bellaire steel
works were busily engaged during the
entire day yesterday in perfecting ar
rangements for continuing work in the
mills should the men not go to work at
the usual time last night, namely. 6
o'clock.
The management held a conference
early in the day but no Information
was given out as to what was the sub
ject Of their meeting or what result
was reached.
Supt. Thomas in charge of
the Bellaire Steel Works,when
interviewed by a representa-
tive of the Register, said!
You can pat 1T down in black
and white that we will run
this MILL urther than this
he would make NO statement.
The Amalgamated workmen in the
Bellaire plant were at work early yes
terday morning. In fact there had
scarcely been any cessation Of work
during the night by some of the or
ganizers. Many seemed not to have
slept during the night.
During the forenoon several promi-
nent mill men connected with the
works We're summoned by the manage
ment and every effort appears to have
been made to offset the vigorous actions
OF the men.
At 2 O'Clock yesterday afternoon the
Association members and other mill
employees held a large and enthusiastic
meeting at McGregor's hall. The or
ganizers were present and addressed
the meeting. A number of new mem
ssss took the obligation and became

The situation at Benwood is practic-
ally unchanged from yesterday. The
Riverside plate mill is out and it is
said that the tube workers Will be with
them. Thus far, there has been no Of
fetal announcement that the men would
nat work to-day and ii is thought by
the management that they will, but
the general opinion is that the tube
works will be shut down. Last even
ing fires were burning in several parts
of the big works which made it appear
that they would work. A number Of
ployes of the mill were asked yesterday
what they were going to do and they
Invariably replied that they did not
know. that they were undecided and
one person said: "Wait until to-mor-
row and see If the mill is running and
then you will know whether we are
coming out or not" 1t was expected
that a public announcement would be
made as to the position Of the tube
workers after the meeting at Mozar.
hall yesterday afternoon but nothing
has been given out for publication at
this writing.
Much interest is manifested in what
the Riverside steel workers are going
to do. They are not affiliated with the
Amalgamated Association. All griev-
ances and differences are referred to a
mill committee appointed by the men
This committee confers with the man
agement and any agreement made by
the committee and management goes
with the other workmen. One OF the
clauses in the agreement between the
MANAGEMENT and the men is that each
side shall give the other a thirty-day
notice when any changes OF existing
contracts are contemplated. While a
great many persons think that the steel
works at the Riverside will be closed
the men have not so decided and the
management has not been served with
any lOllCG. n hltVlih5 "a
workers was held in the city hall at
Benwood yesterday evening and was at
tended by a large number of men. The
meeting lasted about an hour and at the
close the men left at once. To a Reg
ister reporter it was said: 1--WE have
nothing to give out"
will the steel works be running to-
morrow
II don't know"
Later in the evening it was learned
that the steel works will be on to-day,
and that the men win hold another
meeting this evening. Wheeling Lodge
No. 5, A. A. /. S. and T. w. will also
hold a meeting this evening at Mozart
hall.
Yesterday evening two employees OF
the La Belle mill saw a party of strang-
ers on Fourteenth street. They said
they were going to Benwood to work
in the mill. The La Belle men at once
went down to Benwood and notified
the people there and a sharp lookout
was kept for the strangers, but they
were not seen anywhere in the indus
trial town.
Near midnight there was considera-
bic excitement at Benw0od. Ten
strange men were held up and taken to
the city building. 1t was later discover
ed that they were part Of a gang Of
men brought here to work on the Ma
tional Tube Co.'s tunnel under the B.
& o. at Bogg's run, and they were re-
leased.
At 1890 this morning it was stated
that a number OF Association men were
on guard at Benwood Junction, 1T hav-
ing been rumored that four car loads OF
men were coming in that way.
