Notes From Ohio

/ 80
The past week has seen a forceable
slackening up of different manufactur-
ing plants in this end Of the state
and no doubt such conditions exist
all over the state.
The report that the Carnegie mill
of claire was to close down appears
to be well founded as they intend to
do so the first of the year. No state
ment was issued except that repairs
would be made.
The Lorain Coal and Dock by pur-
chasing ire johnson mine at West
Wheeling will have an outlet to two
different railroads and also will be
able to load coal on the river.
A large number of miners were in
jured in the past week as high as
three and four being in one day in
Belmont county. The majority of
them were foreigners. The mines
out the B. & O. appear to be in the
lead as far as casualties is concerned.
The screen bill committee will pre-
sent two reports as predicted by the
miners, a majority and minority re-
port, but it f. expected the miners
will get what thew demanded. Still
it will pay the miners to keep their
eyes on those white co1lared gentle
men in Columbus as their promises
are Like. the weather. they change

The Wheeling News which IS we'll
known for its general untruthfulpe
in matters pertaining to working con-
ditions came out with a large article
in last Sundays issue IN regards to
the Rail and River coal company's
work, which they stated was every
day. The truth Of the matter is that
| the No. and No. . mines which they
stated was getting full time is hardly
operating at all. Last week No. 2
worked one day and No. i did not
work any. No. 1 worked last Monday
and No. 2 worked last Tuesday. Sit
ting at a telephone getting news is a
poor way to earn your salary. Still
Ifs filled in space and that is all they
required.
