day which, II It was not complete, was al least en-
couraging TO the men and dsheartening to tho
iacturers. The latter lack just what tho
crispins possess, their only hope OF nnal sue
cess-organization and harmony OF action. The
workmen have won the respect OF the COM
.munity by their orderly behavior and the digni-
fed manner In which they make thoir demands.
Their employers seem 10 be divided aud many oil them
weakened to-day when the pressure came. The
utions sent in these dispatches Saturday night TO the
effect that no man would be employed IN any OF the
leading shops. unless he would frat all
nection or aaiiaton with the Crispin organization,

quently several shops were IN operation. Many OF
them had the notice up yesterday but tor0 down

pose, and naturally draws large amount OF sympathy
and subsdutia aid IRON the business the city.
