TIE new foundryot the Keystone Bridge
Company. Pittsburgh, Pa, is in opera
ton.
LITcHFIELD, iLL-What a few good
Union men can do, is illustrated in that
city by the organization of u Union which
will embrace every molder in the place.
The Executive has given them number go,
and with such men as Roger McAfee,
Worth Raymond, and other old members
Of the Union, No. go should be "A model

ppent. The latter part of the month, an
advertisement was circulated, asking for
molders to 90 to Terre Haute, Ind. We
have ascertained that no molders were
really wanted, but an effort was to be
made to reduce wages, and a surplus Of
molders was wanted as a preliminary. The
advertisement produced one scab, who
left in hurry Beware If advertise
mcnts.
