Being convinced that Miller was unfairly treated, I united with him in building new works.

These were the Cyclops Mills of 1864.

After they were set running it became possible, and therefore advisable, to unite the old and the new works, and the Union Iron Mills were formed by their consolidation in 1867.

I did not believe that Mr.Miller's reluctance to associate again with his former partners, Phipps and Kloman, could not be overcome, because they would not control the Union Works.

Mr.Miller, my brother, and I would hold the controlling interest.
