From the East. !:

Works Obtain More Men-,Rumors Of
> :DislOyslty Among the Strikers.

The fifth week of the iron-molders' strike
began yesterday with the employment of
two Eastern molderS at the Risdon, one at
the Fulton, two at the Union and one at
the City Works. All these are said by the
unions Executive Committee to be incom-
petent. The proprietors, on the other
hand, declare that they are iirst-rate me-
'chaniGs, who come from the East of their
own accord.
The managers of the Risdon assert that
they have sixty men upon the floor apd are
confident that the strike will soon end in
favor OF the manufacturers. Marshutz &c
Cantrell, proprietors of the National Iron
Works, say they are doing we'll and will
never again be ruled by the union. The
junior member of the firm said last night
that there is work enought in the State to
keep all the molders busy if they would
only per NIT the manufacturers to pay for
labor just whatit is worth.
SIXTY MoLpERs EXPECTED.
SIT is said that you have erected hunks
in the foundry. What are they there for?"
well, not for ornaments"
"Do you expect more men from the EastW
I'VE expect sixty men from the East next
week, and we have taken care that they
will not be like the first lot. The associa-
tion's agent has engaged them after testing
their ability. We would have had more
men here long ago, but we wanted no more
incOmpetents."
Il enry L. Scott exhibited letter which
he had received from a molder in Detroit,
who had seen an advertisement for nom
union molders to come TO San Francisco
and obtain employment at SO per day. The
writer said he WAS willing to come and
bring four other molders with him. He was
given a cordial invitation to come right
away and partake of the hospitality of the
Union Iron Works.
THE EUREKA HAS CLOSED.
1t was reported yesterday morning that
Thompson Bros. proprietors of the Eureka
Iron Works, had closed their foundry for
the purpose of assisting the Manufacturers
Association. A CALL reporter who visited
the works was informed that the establish
ment had closed on account OF changes in
the management, but would soon reopen.
4 member OF the Manufacturers Asso-
citation states that he has good reason to
believe that many OF the strikers will go
back TO work before the end of the week.
When asked how he had obtained such i'm
portant information he said he had it from
drayman, who had been talking with
some OF the molders.
The drayman told him that the molders
who are at work are weary Of paying assess
ments to support the strikers. The manu-
faeturer quoted agerred that several of his
old employees were anxious to be taken
back, aud were only awaiting a leader to
head a revolt in the ranks of the moiders.
The Executive Committee waited until
late hour in the night to intercept molders,
who they had been informed were coming
from the East, but they found none.
Agents OF the Rlsdon and Union works
state, however, that several competent
molders arrived and will be given employ
ment to-day.
One of the apprentices employed in the
Industrial Iron Works was taken out on
Saturday evening by the strikers.
