Monday, March 10, 1913 Had a conference with Washburn about moulders. They claim we take their men away. We have been very careful not to take anyone from them, but they think any who has worked for them still belongs there. Their scale of wages is much lower than ours.

Washburn thinks are prices are too high, but in comparison with other grey iron foundries it would not seem so. Orders for 97 spreaders today. Asked Joe Browning to dinner and we went to the Vaudeville in Davenport. Two letters from Elise. Bed 10.45
