ALTOONA, Pa. Aug. 16.-Vice President
John Pierce, of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton, not satisfied with his attempt to Or
ganize the Duncsnsville mill of the Amer
lean Steel Hoop Company several weeks
ago, visited Duncansville again to-day. but
on a different mission. He did not come to
organize. but TO ask the men not to. go to
places where the Amalgamated men are
out and take their places. This, of course,
most OF the men refused to do, many of
them owning their homes at Du%ncansville,
and work is plenty there, although the pay
is a little less than at P~ittsburg and vicin-
ity. Pierce also visited Hollidaysburg,
where a number of Amalgamated men are
working who quit the Duncansville mill
after his first visit. These men will use
their influence 10 keep the nonunion men
places at other mills. Pierce left for Pitts
burg tonight.

General Grant Says They Have Made
More Progress Than Negroes.

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-Speaking of his
experiences in Russia, where he made a
tour, General Fred Dent Grant. who has
just arrived from Europe, said the general
feeling of the people of the middle and
upper classes was favorable to the United
States. The Russians regard the United
States more as a country to buy from
than to sell to. II found the greatest i'm
provements since my last visit to Russia,
in 1871 said the general. Even the
houses are better built. and show that
Russia is advancing with the times, and
is prosperous. The Improvement in the
conditions of the Serfs is really remark
able. They were liberated about the same
time that our negroes were. but they have
space of time. Army service has helped
in their development physically and men,
tally in a way that goes far 70 make up
for the burden on the nation at large"
