There was some opposition to the movement,

weather on July. LIST, but owing to over-pro-
duction and the high wages the step is this
year taken month earlier. The warehouses

present measure will cause an increase in
prices. The shutdown is understood to be for
three months, but manufacturers object to
paying the present wages to blowers next year,

made during the vacation, which may cause a
still frrther suspension. The manufacturers
say they are paying 90 per cent higher wages
than they have ever paid. The blowers will
resist any reduction in their wages.
