the day at Carnegie's upper union mills
was the resignation of night superintend-
ent of the pudding department, Boss

plOy of the company for eighteen years
aud was one of the most trusted worknen
about the mill.
Immediately after leaving the works. he
went 20 the Amaigsmated headquarters,
where be stated that the step he had taken
was due TO tho fact that his work had
been made extremely unpleasant since the
strike had been ipaugurated. He says he
has been shifted from one position and
station 20 another until the work has
simply become unbearable. In connec-
tion with the working of the mil. he said
that the lS- and M-inch mills did not start
to-day, as was reported. The strikers, be
said, gained a victory this morning by in
ducing two OF the best heaters TO leave
the mill.
In regard to the number of men who
were working he stated that there were
fewer than at any time since the strike he
gun, aud before the plant can be success

many repairs.
