Ths Riverside Deny Thy IneOd Fitting Up
Shovel Works al the Old Nail Factory.
Class Works 70 Star. Non. Union

A few DAYS ago the REGISTER pub
lished an article TO the effect that the
Riverside management had put force
OF men TO wSrk cleaning out the old
nail factories on Twenty-iourth street,
preparatory to fitting them up FOR
the manufacture OF shoysls. The ar
tiele was published on the authority Of
responsible person, and DO doubt
there is some truth in it, yet the firm
comes out in a contemporary and denies
the story. The fact that an expert
shovel maker was brought here from
Pttsburg Is not denied, and that be
was also taken through the old fac
tories and through the works al Ben
wood.
1t mas at last become a settled fact
that the UnitedrStates Glass Company
intend starting up their factories In this
city and with nOn-uniOn men. The
manager OF the local plants gave 1t out
early IN the week that both factories
would be started about the first OF the
year. The management claim they will
have no trouble 10 secure plenty OF
good work men, sand they do not expect
any OF the local union men 70 apply for
work. The members Of the local unions
are not a bit alarmed over the prospect
o. the factories running any length OF
time with non-union workmen, as they
say it will be mpossible for them 70
work the complicated mOulds used here
successfully.

company claim they can run the mill

ton Of time when they will win tue
strike. The men say that they are sure
70 win, since all the men are standing
together. An offer was made for some
