Conferences Between Mill Owners
and Workmen Have Thus
Far Been Fruitless.
Lebanon, Pa., Msrch ti. None of
tl i mills in this city were running to
day and there is no clmngo in the sit
uation. Stwral eonferenOre have been
held between the men and their em
ployers but as yet no satisfactory un
derstanding has resulted. A secret
conference of the discontented mill
bauds was held in the birch wooils in
Independent district this afternoon.
The men grouped around the leading
spirits in one corner of the dancing
pavilion but whut transpired could not
be learned.
All persons excpt the poddlers and
helprrs were excluded, and even re
porters were requested to keep away.
All seemed quiet, but evidently de
termined on adopting some plan for fu
ture action in view of tho little they
have accomplished in conference with
the proprietors.
The mill owners imist that they
cannot pay any more than their com
petitors in surrounding cities They
say they are sorry for the men, and
advise them to return to work for the
present. They assert that there are
thoiuauds of men who have had noth
ing to do for months, who will gladly
take their places if they do not want
tbom.
On the other hand the men say the
reduction means starvation wages, and
that they may as well starvo doing
nothing as working.
