SITUATION AT ROLLING MILL.

The Strike There Seems to be One With
 No Settlement.
 The manner in which the rolling mill strike continues is causing considerable discussion among people in Fair Haven. They say that the men are just as pleased as they were on the day they laid down their tools, and that they have no thought of going back to work unless the men at the head of the mill take back the man they turned out
 This reinstatement, it is said, is all that the strikers ask for, and they say that the report that they want an in- crease of wages in some branches is not true, for they have not considered that.
