RIVERSIDE"
STARTS TODAY
FIRST FURNACE AT BIG PLANT
WILL BLOW IN" THIS
MORNING.
About 5000 Men VIII Be Employed
After August 25skilIed Me-

After being idle for nearly two
years the Riverside mill will resume
operation early this morning. This Il
the last OF a large chain OF mills OF
the National Tube Company to start.
Furnace a will be the first TO pour
forth the metal. while furnace r will
probably be charged to-day 80 that u
VIII be ready by Wednesday. The
steel works and skelp mill will start
August .. as will the tube department,
In part. also.
The opening OF such a mill brings
an Immense amount Of money into a
city. In the 10 months that this mill
has been closed there has been spent
In other cities by this corporation ap.
proximately $500. 900. II Is said.
The monthly paw roll OF this com.
pany amount 10 about $4,000. This
amount Is distributed among 1000
fomilies.
With every other plant OF the cor.
poration going full time. N Is esti-
mated by prominent business men
that the mill will have a long and
steady run. The company Ia now
crowded with orders. and when the
work IL well under way there will
probably be more men employed than
In many former years. The full ca
pacity f. almost 5000 men. and about
1000 men will report within the next
week. and by the second of August Il
If estimated that about 5000 men will
he AZ work.
As h tube mill will start only in
part. there will be some few vacan-
cies. hut all men can be given en-
ployment until this mill gets under

skilled labor in other departments.
There are plenty OF laborers on hand
20 practically nan all the departments
but there is a lack in the number OF
