As predicted last week, the owners of the Sheet Mills and the workers came to an understanding in regard to salary; the workers agreed to accept a ten percent cut in their wages. The price of puddling from here on will be $4.75 a ton, the lowest price in this area for many years. In the face of that, as well as the fact that there is much idleness exists already amidst the men [word unclear], because not all the mills are running regularly, and no one works full time, there is no reasonable hope for the present winter.
