on tho Esii.
AT no time during the worst season Of
panic was tue outlook for the future
among Pnttstown iron workers so blue as
IL Is At prcseut. As already announced the
puddle mill OF the Glasgow Iron company
shut down on Saturday with no prospects
of an early resumption. The Hope mill,
Of the PJttstown Iron company, also
closed down on Saturday, with no osr
tainty of an early resumption, while the
blast furnace of the same company Is going
out OF blast for repairs, and it Is thought
that the repairs will not be hurried and
that II may be months before the furnace
is again put In blast. Wero IL not for the
busy bridge works, which gave employ
ment to nearly four hundred persons, aud
the prospects for considerable building this
spring and summer, Pottstown, as far
as its workiugmcn are concerned, would
be in worse plight than during the
panic.
