In the month Of May, 1856, the iourneymen
made strike for an increase OF their wages,
thcy were generally opposed by some in the
business. But what was my action with themi
| was the first man to give in TO their demands
| to increase their wages.
The following is from the papers of W Whining
ton, 1868
The JoHrhGynen SiOemdkerS.-The shOemalS-
crs of this city, having completed their organ
, iAatiOn, are now making an effort to have their
new list OF prices adopted by the various EN-
pluyers OF Wilmington. A strong committee,
! we arc told, waited on Mr.. Flanigen, for this
I purpose few days ago, aud lie readily and
promptly acceded to their request. Mr.. Flan-
gen is perhaps more extensively engaged in
tile shoe business than any other person in the
State. and this early compliance with the rea-
, sOnafns demands Of those in his employ, shows
that he is in favor Of paying Il fair price for la
Dor, AMI is willing to be satisfied with small
profits rather than lay his finger upon anything
that looks like monopoly or oppression. Here

advance of wages allowed by him will be met
with a corresponding increase of custom to his
store. Delaware journal, May 10Th, 1883

to be general rise in prices all over the coun-
