The industrial situation throughout
Belmont county appears to be in a
splendid condition. Of course there is
a few industries that are idle due to a
difference between the workers and
the employer.
With the glass industry the condi
ton of trade is better at the present
time than it has been for several years.
The 7Rodefer glass plant of Bellaire, is
working to capacity with orders on
their books that assure a steady run
throughout this coming fire. With them
as with other plants the ealry part of
the season. the boys employed by them
caused all concerned considerable trou-
Bile keeping them at work.
They succeeded however and the
plant has been enjoying a steady run
for several months. The Imperial
Glass plant is also enjoying a steady
run; they also have solved the small
help problem. With many orders on
their books and a sufficient number Of
boys the only thing to interfere with
steady run is that the excessive heat
of the last few days will compel many
shops to be idle from time to time as
some members Of each crew will surely
be affected.
The bottle works of Bellaire is work
ing steady.
~, 80
is the only glass plant on the Ohio side
that is idle, and an effort is being
made by the stockholders to formulate
plan to be presented to the stock
holders at meeting to be held in
Martins Ferry, July %, to have the
plant in operation in the near future.
: With the iron industry all mills are
operating daily with the exception of
some parts due to men becoming af-
fected by the heat
With the various plants where metal
casting is done working to capacity
seems to be the prevailing conditions
and with most Of those plants a short
age of men prevails. A moulderT can
find work at any of those plants. Par
ticularly is this/s SO of the c. L. Dorer
plant and the Bellaire Stove works.
With the former one year ago they
employed just about half the number
of moulders they are using today. This
was made possible by the erection of a
new addition within the last few
months.
The Bellaire Stove works was forced
to remain idle the last few weeks
making repairs on plant that were
necessary but promise their employees
a good steady run the remainder of the
year.
With the Building Trades conditions
are good. Very few men employed at
this particular line have any occasion
to remain idle. This is true of the
eastern end of the county, as the num-
Der of new buildings surpass the rec
ords for several years.

News of the
BUILDING TRADES


Thursday afternoon at o'clock the
special arbitration committee went
into session to settle the contention
between Stationary Engineers Union
and Contractor Butts. The arbitrator
are: John j. Sheehan, for the En-
gineers, H. S. Cunningham, for Butts,
and DR.. Charles Wingerter, for the
Wheeling Commercial Association,
the organization whose general man
ager, Mr.. Ketchum, brought about the
arbitration.
The question at issue has previous
ly been given in these columns. The
scale for hosting provides for the
employment Of a second engineer
when a cement mixing machine is
added to the hosting engine. In case
the second man is not employed, the
first man is to be paid time and one
half for running the two jobs. The
Kitchen company has signed the scale
and has been operating under it right
along, but when the condition arose
on the Butts work on the Madison
school building on the Island he re-
fused.
