THE INDUSTRIAL OUTLOOK.

Negotiations are progressing for restarting the Meier Iron Works in Illinois, opposite South St Louis, which have been idle for several years. The striking employes of the Champion mine at Marquette, Mich., have resolved to go to work at the old rates. An increase of 25 per cent has been accorded to the men in the melting department of Hussey, Howe & Co.’s steel-mill at Pittsburgh. The St. Louis Council has passed an ordinance making eight hours a legal day’s work for city laborers.
