Of stopping or lessen1ng the weekly Jambor- ees. Saturday night the men waited on Mir. Wheeler and asked him if he prepared to return to the old method of paying. He said very decidedly that he was not, and they replied that they would not work for him longer. Another notice was posted which stated that for last weeks work they would be paid Wednesday night; but that thereafter wages would be paid only every second Wednesday. Yesterday morning the power was started as usual, but there were no men present to use it.
 When the men waited on him, MT. Wheeler stated to them that after 8 month or so of exp- riment under the new plan, if he found that he had men upon whom he could rely and that the drunkenness and fighting of the past had ceased, he would return to the sys- tenn of we ek1y payments.
 The company have made some effort to hire hands Tn place of tie strikers. but were unable to obtain men familiar with the work. The men hold meeting Wednesday to decide what they will do. They deny the charge that the system of weekly pay ments has in any way demoralized their ser vice, and attribute much of the blame for the present difficulty to the foreman, who re- gently came to the shop from Cleveland. They assert that the foreman induced Mir. Wheeler to adopt the Cleveland custom of bi- weekly payments, and also urged in favor of keeping back two weeks of the mems pay. Both of these regulations the operatives re- belled against. They say the claim that many of them had been in the habit of going upon drunk weekly as long as they were paid weekly is simply pretext of their em ployers to justify their recent action There is among the striking workmen 8 strong feel ing of confidence that the company will find itself compelled to return to the former sys- tenn.
 In regard to the effect on the trade of the men refusing to work the secretary said that the orders were letting up somewhat they had been falling off lately. If the action of the men had taken place three or four months ago it would make 8 good deal of difference in their trade. As it was now, in the present condition of the market they could stand it for a month before giving in to the men. Now the agents of the company were around soliciting trade Tn three or four days" concluded the secretary, Eff the men don't accede to our wishes we shall get other help. There is plenty of it to be had and we can get it.
