...handsomest, and among the costliest (as high as $1,200) stoves are the cast-iron, enameled Lange and Mørso from Denmark and the Jøtul from Norway. One American manufacturer that assembles stoves of comparable quality is a down-home outfit called Vermont Castings, Inc. Two unfounded foundrymen started the firm four years ago in tiny Randolph, Vt. Duncan Syme, 42, was a sculptor with an M.F.A. degree from Yale, and Murray Howell, 34, was a bar owner and construction worker.

Hewitt's own union said: "Officially we don't know the situation exists." His employers echoed: "It's a matter for the men." Said Boyce flatly: "It's none...
