Two Furnaces Running.
There were two big blast furnaces
running at the smelter yesterday and
last night. There were not enough men
90 handle them properly, for many
times the hot red streams of Stag
pouring into the big pots had to be
shut off before men came to wheel
them away. But more men were COM
ing on every shift. 50 that the indica-
tons pointed to a full force today; that
is. a force sufficient to do the work
with two furnaces in operation. Two
other furnaces are yet frozen up," so
that the regular number of men is not
needed. One Of these is nearly cleaned
out and the other viii likely be ready
in a few DAYS. However, during yes
terdav the force Of men had not in
creased sufficiently TO have men put at
work cleaning them out.
The strike Of Wednesday after the
announcement that there would be no
raise OF wages. was practically the

at work yesterday, was there not some
