The plant has ‘| been idle since the strike. of July last, and. a | four furnaces are now running, ‘The Benwood (W. Va.) rolling mill has rasumed in full. The Bellaire (0.) steel works has started after a two weeks’ stop. The Eagle Glass Works at Lazearville, W. Va., isagain running full. The Joseph Bell Stove Company may move from Wheeling to Martins Ferry and there build one of the largest'works in the United States. After holding out for 22 days the striker on the San Antonio and Aransas Pass rail road declared the strike off, owing to the failure of the head organization to legalize their action. Thénew men will be retained and old employes given work in order of application and seniority of service. 1 The switchmen’s strike at Meadville, Pa. is virtually at an end, Division Superin. tendent Matson made a proposition to the strikers, but it was not accepted and new men were hired for their places, i The Lehigh Valley Cpal company (Wilkes barre, Pa.) issued orders to suspend work at their Heidelburg colliery, near Pittston, until the 1st of April next, on account of the prevalent depression of the coal trade. This will throw many men out of employ- ment. The Pennsylvania Railroad company has raised the wages ofits employés on the di- vision between Philadelphia and New York on an average of from & to 10 per cent. The railroad people here say that the increase was made in view of the fact that the best service is required of the New York-Philadel- phia division, and will not affect the wages prevailing on other divisions, The ‘men contend, however, that it will bethe wedge for a general increase. ntl Qs sen w A NEIGHBOR’S CRIME.
