These (Wellsvlllo men havo been considered excellent workmen and many of them havo money Invested in property thoro, so that should tho property be takon to Vnndcrgrift, ns Is threatened, they would suffer. Thoy do not bollovo tho promlso which accompanies tho throat that tho mill from Dennlson, Ohio, will bo brought to this placo In casn tho present trouble Is settled.

It b probable tl'at a portion of fills will rirao here If tho shortage continues. It will bo much moro costly than the American make, but tho exigencies of somo of the local consumers arc so Imperative that they will pay no nttcntlon to cost. It long-con tinued tho striko Is suro to bo a good'thlnij for tho Welsh makers, whoso trade for somo time has been In an apathetic condi tion. "Tho American Tlnplate company has mado no lncrcaso In prices for tho stock It has on hand and cannot well do so on ac count of tho contracts that It cannot fulfill even with tho material that Is now beln: worksd up in tho tin houses by tho finish ers, This supply will ho exhausted and shipped within ten days at all plants, when tho stoppage In all but the Monessen plant will be complete.
