Welch, our old carbonizer, how with the American has been trying to get them from us. He succeeded in getting one and we had to raise the wages of the rest to keep them. Bradley has blow pipe and [----] under way so that we can work in a number ofnew hands on day work and let the old men go and then bring prices back. Holzer says he can work girls on all operations in glass blowing."
