| The glass makers of Pittsburgh are GA Il strike,
and by their action the strike fever seems to have
spread all over the country among the Blowers
of glass, not even eXempting those of our own
city who, though not on strike, for the plain
reason that our works have not yet commenced
operations, are evidently leaning that way.
The Weekly La5or Tribune, of the 9th inst,
published at Pittsburgh, has the following:
The Pittsburgh glass manufacturers held a
meeting on Wednesday, to discuss the question
Of resuming work. The men are resolved to de-
mand war wages if the factories are kept shut
mand for last years card on the fact that stocks
of glass have greatly declined, and that prices
have advanced from GOand off to 30, and in some
cases to card rates. The manufacturers are be-
ginning to manifest anxiety for the resumption
of work. The blowers are altogether Indifferent
and are as resolved rs they were three months
ago to do no more work until last years prices
are obtained. The question of Il National Union
is becoming the subject of earnest discussion be-
tween the Unions East and West The desire for
such | mon seems strong enough, and the only
hindrancc is the means for carrying out the pur-
pose. 1t is quite probable that means win be
provided this winter, and that by spring we will
have the groundwork of a national organization
We have in Pittsburgh able and competent men
to do all that work.
While We are the friend of the labOring man
ourselves, from force Of circumstances perhaps
finding it necessary to earn our bread by mental
and manual labor, we have in very rare instances
been able to see that any advantages were de
rived to laboring men by forcing an increase
of wages from their employers by what are call
ed strikes" This will be hard winter for
laboring men. The manufacturers will not want
food Sbpltnr no fort bn al
or their families. But how many of the laboring
men are thus fortunately situated? Manufac-
turers, owing to the tenderness and care of the
republican party, are so protected that they can
always find some ones nose that they can hold
to the grind.one and make it profitable. To the
laboring man no such privilege is given. Things
should be taken as they are, and if wrong RENE
died at the right time and place and in the
proper manner. That time is, in most cases, at
the annual elections, the place at the polls, and
the manner by means of the ballot. Elect men
to Office who will work for the repeal of protec-
tive tariffs and the abandonment of all class leg
islaton.
This in a general way. In the case of the Pitts
burg glass blowers, however, by whom the prices
at Ottawa appear to be regulated, it seems the
employers, on Il reduced stock and with Ndvan-
cling prices, have combined to reduce the wages
of the glass blowers or operatives In such a
case there is clearly course left to the blowers
but to meet combination by combination.
whats sauce for the goose is sauce for the
gander" When the employers combine to strike
down wages instead of letting the laws of trade
regulate them, then the other side have clearly

FLOUR BY THE ArrR1r1oN PROCESS.

A few months ago we mentioned the manu-
iacture of flour by new process known as
the minnesota Patent" The advantage
claimed for the process was, that it made flour
equal to the best white winter out of the com
monest varieties of spring wheat. Whether
II took so much more spring wheat to make
barrel as to bring its cost up to "best white
winter" or not, we are unable to state; at all
events minnesota patent flour in the mar
ket has been higher than white winter, and
whatever advantage the new process may be
to the manufacturer, it has thus far been none
to the consumer; nor 10 the farmer, as far
as we can learn, in raising the price of spring
to an approximate equality with white winter
wheat.
Now another new process is discovered,
called the "Attrtion Process" A mill for
the manufacture of flour by this process has
been erected at 302 Clark street. Chicago, and
IN a lengthy article in the last Sunday Tribune
we have Il description of the mill and process.
The latter is thus described: The wheat hay
ing been conveyed to the top story, it there
receives Il complete cleansing and then passes
to the floor below, where it takes its first
"dressing' Having passed through nun
Der of cleansing and pressing machines and
become thoroughly rid of the impurities it
passes into a series of discs or chambers, and
then follows the pulverizing process. And
the pulverlzing is the most curious part of
the operation, and its most essential feature.
Without it, attriion flour would be unknown
to the market. The operation differs entirely
from the old methods to which the world has
chung for ages, and to which many diseases
have been traced. Wheels in the interior of
the discs revove at great speed, and strong
current Of compressed air is discharged into
them in such a way as to act in contrary di
rections. In these various discs the particles
of wheat are ground wholly by attriton
among themselves "while suspended and
whirling with great velocity in multitude of
sortccs and in powerful currents of cold air"
1t then runs as perfect flour into the barrel.
In all the stages of the process the main idea
is held in view, and all the chemical elements
of the wheat are retained in the flour. The
attrition and the preliminary and subsequent
operations attain this object to the fullest de,
gree.
The advantage claimed for flour manulac-
tured by this process is, that it has "all the
merits of Graham flour and none of its OBJ
jections," being white sweet, fine flour, yet
robbed of none Of its nutritious qualities as
flour manufactured by the old process is al
legged to be.
Whether this process makes good flour out
ofpoor wheat or chcapens the article of good
sour to the consumer, or in any way, on the
dollar and cent question is an advantage, we
are not informed.
