AS the number of local workmen,
who claim to be able to do the work
|of skilled machinists, increase, the
fires of Indignation, of both contend

strike, grow hotter. The Erie Of

factory service now given by the few
unskilled machinists.
On the other hand, workmen from
this city are being taken to various
points on the road and the number

imachinists and four apprentices who
