PTTTsBURG, June 15-It was learned this
afternoon from a reliable source that the
Friend mill, formerly Woods's, will shortly
make an attempt to start up with a nom
union force of workmen. This statement
was borne out by inquiries on the South
Side, where it was stated that the firm in
question had hired non nnion men and
would light their fires at an early day, pos
sibIy to morrow, or Monday at the latest
The Friend mill has been closed for two
months for repairs. 1t mas fifteen pudding
furnaces, and is located in the Thirty sixth
ward.
Mr.. p H. Lauffman, who was interviewed
regarding the latest news from his (Apollo)
mill, said: 81 am running both mills single
turn, with leo non-union men at work, and
am perfectly satisfied with the work done;
and / would like to add that have served
quiet notices to Amalg gamated men in my
houses. Further, have perfect faith in my
ability to continue the operations OF my
mills as / have begun. / am not inimical
to the Amalgamated Union, but consider
it a needed and excellent institution
when it does not try to abuse its power.
The members are behaving perfectly well at
my mills, Offering no interference" Mr..
Lauffman seemed to enjoy peculiarly the
good will of the officers and members of the
Amslgamated Association, and the Offices
of the organization. His success did not
seem to afford dissatisfaction or elicit COM
ment.
Inquiry at Klonan's mill, at Superior Sta
tien, ELECTED the statement that an additional
furnace started up to-day, and that the force
.. non-union men was now seventy-hve; also,
that the work turned out was satisfactory.

Religious Interest in Charlotte, N. G.

Messrs. Ea5tor8,-The religious in
terest in Charlotte, N. c., is represented
in an editorial in your last issue, to have
begun under the ministry of Rev. Mr..
Woods. This is mistake. 1t began
months before. Large accessions were
made to the First church before his com.
ing. Subsequently, the interest extended
to the Second church. It would be very
singular, if the sowing Of seed, and the
springing up, and the gathering of the
crop, should all occur within two months
The interest still continues, and long
may it continued Should the harvest
prove to be genuine, as we trust it will
then, to the Lord of the harvest alone is
all the glory due. Herein is that saw
ing true, one soweth and another reapetb
Other men labored and ye are entered
into their labors Neither is he that
Planteth anything, neither he that water
eth; but God that giveth the increase
Now he that planteth and he that
watereth are one and every man shall
receive his own reward according to his
own IaDOr' Amen. VERITAs.
