its trade is helpessly demOalized" To ascertain the
truth Of the rumor,Na reporter called upon Amory
Houghton president Of the company at the works, and
asked him with regard to the condition Of affairs at tho
works. The fact is that at the time Of the recent
strike tynine frst-class workmen remained, so that
the work not entirely stopped. soon after the
fires banked in three furnaces, and three Others
let out for repairs. Two of the eight remained in
active operation Since then one or more furnaces
have been added every week to those in operation, until
for some time past the eight immense chlmneys have
been hard at work, with full force Of men, producing
about 10000 electric light bulbs per day. About
twenty-five Of the strikers returned to work, and new
and good men have been found TO I'LL all the vacant
places. The strike unnecessary one, because
the IIoughtOns have always been among the most
cOnSiderite and best employers in the country only
about 100 of the 270 strikers have found employment
elsewhere. The electric light bulb industry at Corn
