agree that competition has reduced the
price while material has advanced making it
impossible for them to pay any more for
labor than is now givena Among the men
who did not quit work were those en-
ployed by Sherman, in the south.

Cherry streets. This morning q
committee from the Union called at the
office and ordered the men to leave, but they

tsrmined to prosecute them for it. So ac.
cordingly, one Of the firm appeared before
