George Miller, chairman of the rolling
mill committee to raise funds for the
Red Cross, has made arrangements by
which persons subscribing to this fund
during the recent campaign may make
their payments to c.. W. Foster at the
Bessemer rolling mill Owing to the fact
that no one has been authorized to col
lect the funds subscribed in quarterly
payments, the first payment being due
July !, considerable confusion has re-
suited. In the meantime funds in Besse-
mer will be collected along with the sub
scriptions of the employees of the Ten
