THE STRIKE.

The River Drivers Strike for Higher Wages
Mot Successful.
Last Friday morning seventy fave or
one hundred men proceeded to the sta
ton to 20 down the road for the purpose
of assisting in bringing down the sever
al drives, bat before taking passage
struck for higher wages. 1t seems they
had been hired with the understanding
they were to receive the going wages.
At the station they were anxious to know
what the going wages were to be and we
are told were informed that it would DO
$1.25 per day and board. They demand
ed $3.50 and $1.75. Their demands for
$3.50 was granted, and they then de-
manded $500 and 1925. These figures
log owners refused to pay, and the strike
was the consequence. The strikers form
ed and marched down town and through
the streets, their numbers being aug
mented by others joining them. They
Immediately took steps to try and pre-
vent others from accepting work on the
drives at less wages than they demand
ed, bat in this they were not successful.
While able to influence the labOrers of
Cheboygan, they could not prevent men
from being brought in from the Saginaw
valley, where. it appears. there was no
trouble in securing men.
The men claim that lumber is as high
now as it was three years ago, when
drivers received $3.50 and $500 per day,
and that such being the case the lum-
bermen could afford to pay better wages
than they were Offering. This may be
true. but there is another phase of the
case which they evidently overlooked.
Three years ago the majority Of logs
manufactured in the valley were all run
down the streams, necessitatlng the en-
plOyment of vast number of men on
the several drives. Now this is changed.
The bulk Of the logs are brought in by
rail, and as a consequence the vast army
of river drivers that used to find abund-
ance of work in the spring of the year
are now obliged to look for other en-
ployment, and 1t naturally follows that
labor is much more abundant than in
former years and wages have deprecl-
ated. Again. many of the mills in
the valley have exhausted their sup
ply of standing timber, and are COM
peting for saving for jobbers, and have
taken contracts for this seasons saving
at $3.50 per thousand feet. and in order
to save themselves they met and agreed
to reduce the wages % per cent below
last seasons prices. With this reduc-
tion staring them ia the face, it is no
wonder that men were ready and anx-
icus to accept situations on the Cheboy-
gan log drives. To the great credit of
those engaged in the strike we aust say
they made no disorderly demonstrations,
and that they had the sympathy of many
in their efforts to secure better wages.
