BELL AlRE

The action taken BY Hersey Lodge it sp-
pears was not unlocked for BY the other
lodges Of the Amalgamsted Association,
ard according TO Secretary Martin, the
lodge here was either compelled TO retract
certain steps taken heretofore or withdraw
from the association. Hersey lodge chose
the latter and they have done what viii be
to the Interest Of every member concerned.
When the lodge was formed the puddiers
and nailers worked in harmony, prices were
good and as general thing work was
steady. The CO operation OF these two
brances was mutually beneficial and 1t Is
likely they would have continued so, had not
the steel nail leen introduced and the
puddlers discharged With the induction OF
the new nail the pudGiers were no longer
needed and they withdrew from the lodge.
Since that time the lodge has been com.
posed of the nsilers of the Bellsire nail
works exclusively, AID this organization,
formed while the iron nail was the life OF
trade, has been compelled, or rather asked,
BY the Amalsamated Association, to do GER
tain things, which, while beneficial 10 the
makers Of the iron nail, was OF no conse-
quence when attached to factory that had
gone into the exclusive manufacture OF steel
nails. Any intelligent head can see that
rules governing factory producing iron
nails, where the puddler is necessary sd'
iunct. would at times necessitate the striking
OF the naiers when they have really no
cause for it. This is why the makers Of the
new nail are kicking and want to be by
themselves AS long as the iron nail lasts,
it is probable the Anna gamated Association
will continue to be friend TO the boys, but
from present appearances circumstances
seem TO favor the independent organi !ahon
among the nailers who grind for the siee!
nail. There are about thirty five mem.
bcrs OF iersey lodge, and from what
your reporter can understand about
the matter it has done wise
action in suuendering It's charter. IL IL no
helpmate in lis present condition, and 1t wa
seen that by forming an independent organ.
