foundry has been added to the list OF those which
are under the ban OF the MOulders Union. The
cause was that Huntington, receiving an order
from the mines for n large amalgamaton pan, and
having pattern, borrowed one from a foundry
that is working non-uniOn men. The Mouders
Union At once informed him that he could not use
this pattern when he became enraged at their die
tation and discharged all his men. The result Of
the strike is that the Chicago and other Eastern
foundries are getting the bulk of the work which
was formerly done here. AS the owners of the
foundres are wealthy men, the contest promises
to be tedious. Neither side shows any disposition
TO make terms.
