In consequence of this Wr Ulatlon, Ihn manufacturers at tbe rolling mills bave refused to supply iron pUtee for the construction of slesmtoat boilers, and have discharged tbeir employees.

A Massachusetts cotton mill operative bas Invented an apparatus culled a "mote col lector," by means of which it Is claimed tbat tbe dirtiest cotton cau be worked into ai good cloth as the clesner kinds.
