INDUSTRIAL TOPICS.
Points Picked Up About tho Miris and
Factories


There is considerable feeling among
Etnaville mill men toward eighteen
skilled workmen from Apollo. Pa, who
went to work yesterday. The men
claim these workmen have deprived old
employees of their JOBS. There is a
strike at Apollo and 1t is not known
whether the Company sent for the men
or not It is generally believed. how
ever, that they did. The reason for
this Is not known, as the workmen
claim the old employees had waited all
summer to reclaim their old positions
and now are greatly disappointed.
Many OF these men thus thrown out OF
hope of employ ment at the mill have
wives and families dependent. The
sympathy for these meu and their fami-
lies Is general among the men. but no
trouble is feared. These workmen are
six roughers, six rollers aud six heaters,
aud they began to operate mills 4 and
the Etna department, which have been
idle. When they began work yester-
day quite a number of the old employees
assembled around them more for idle
curiosity and 70 see their skill than
anything else. The company put
stop TO this, and one heater was dis
charged because he was an on-looEer, be
claimed.

all over the country have been loud In
their praise OF Secretary Herbert OF
the Navy. His actions were apparent

that harsh severe partisanship that
characterized many other depart

even Secretary Herbert seems to be
giving way to the Influences of nepo-

present administration as it never did
before. The Secretary is very prop
