President Valentine OF California. OF the
National Iron Mouders' union has been here
comforting with the local union officers with
reference to a question now presented TO the
men that may involve general strike OF
white moulders in all the foundries and shops
in this city
Tho Ross Meehan Foundry company recent
lv built an enormous foundry building. in
addition to their plant Superintendent Her
ron announced that the company would en-
ploy negro moulders in this building. as they
did not think 1t proper to work the two races
in the same building The negro noulderi
are non-uniop men and do only the plainest
work. The question now Is 'Will the union
men work with the same company that en-.
ployes a large. body OF non-union moulders!
The new foundry will give eli ployment TO
about $50 mouders to start with. The price
to be paid to the negroes Is less than the
union scale. because. as the officers explain.
the work does not require the amount of skill
required in tho other foundrles operated by
tho same company In which the union mould
ers are employed Tho Ross Meehan' COM
pany belongs 10 the Local Foundrymen's as
ISOLATION and the men state that II there If
a strike It will affect all the members OF that
association. The matter will reach con.
olusion tomorrow or Tuesday. Between 500
and 1000 moulders are involved IL the strike
Is general.

Lord Roberts Tells why the Free
State Was Invaded.
Capetown, February 1S.--Lord Roberts
has issued proclamation to the burghers
OF the Orange Free State. saying that h.
feels It his duty to make known to all
burghers the cause Of the coming Of the
British, as we'll as to do all in his power
20 terminate the devastation caused by the
war.
The proclamation says We believe the
unwarrauted invasion OF British territory
was M committed with the general APP
prevail of the people Of the Free S-a.e,
with whom the British people have live
In comfy for several years. 1t believe
the responsibility rests wholly with ths
government OF tho Free State acting, not
in the interests of the country, but una 4r
mischieyous influences without. Great
Britain. therefore, wishes the people OF
the Free State 70 understand that II bears
them no ill-wlll, and so far as Is com
patible, with the successful conduct OF the
war and the re-establisbment OF peace. 1t
is anxious to preserve them from the evils
brought upon them by the wrongful action
OF their government
In conclusion Lcrd Roberts warns al
burghers TO desist from further acts Of
hostilties towards her maiesty's govern
ment and troops, and he gives directions
regarding acquisitions and complaints.

possible for the Beers to throw the bulk
