Just so soon as the market warranted the restoration, the inen would get it. There are about three hundred men employed in the .steel plant. They have always had a scale, Independent of the J Amalgamated scale, and the present scale is slightly higher than the Amalgamated. During the last year they have not worked very much, and the | Orders received by the company in. that period have been few. Only three days' work has been had in the past month, owing to luck of orders. It is claimed that if a lower scale be agreed to, the men will not have so much idleness to endure. The matter will probably be amicably settled at the meeting of the'employes this afternoon. FOR AN ALIBI. The Itowcry Forgery Cane to be Tried lu the Criminal Court.
