THE NORWAY sAoEMAKERs.

From time to time items shave appeared in
the newspapers relative to alleged labor
troubles in the factory of B. F. Spinney &
Co. at Norway. Many of these accounts
'-issxe been filled with misstatements and ex
aggerations. The facts as far as we have
been able to learn them are simply these:
Some ten years ago the Messrs. Spinney
moved part of their shoe business from
Lynn to Norway. One of the inducements
that led them to take this step was undoubt-
eddy the probability that at Norway they
would escape the tyranny of labor unions
which had become practically the dictators
of the business at Lynn. For some years
matters ran smoothly and the relations
between employers and employed were
harmonious. Gradually, however, the in
fiuence of the Knights Of Labor began to
make itself felt and finally strike was be-
gun in the Norway factory. In order to
help their brethren in that village the
Knights employed In that part of the Messrs.
SpiDney's business which remained at Lynn
struck. The Spinneys, thinking they could
best handle labor troubles at Norway, then
decided to remove their whole business
there, and accordingly did so.
The Knights of Labor have pursued them,
and are now endeavoring to compel them to
aceede to their terms, which, we understand,
are virtually that the firm shall pay just such
wages as they may dictate. The contest is
one of good deal of Importance to the town
of Norway. If the Knights win the Spinneys
will be compelled to move their business
back to Lynn. They cannot get so good
workmen at Norway as in Lynn, and of
course they cannot afford to pay the Norway
men so high prices. II, therefore, the
knights of Labor compel them to accede to
their demand to pay the same wages to every
man doing the same kind of work, without
regard to his skill, they of course must so
where they can obtain the most for their
money, that is to Lynn, for there the most
skillful workmen can be had. The removal
of the Spinneys' factories from Norway will
leave that town destitute of business. 1t is
the only industry of any considerable magni-
tude there. Every week the Spinneys dis
tribute between $1,000 and $4,000 in wages.
They have not Disseminated against the
Knights of Labor, and it is not true that
members of that organization are barred out
of their factories. The wages paid.
when the difference in cost of liv-
ing is taken into account, are prob
ably as high as are paid In Lynn.
The troubles have been fomented very large
~ by outsiders, and the motive is quite as
likely to be to compel the removal Of the
factories to Lynn as to raise the wages Of
the workmen. 1t is said that to bring the
Spinneys to their terms the Knights Of
Labor are about to order a boycott of their
goods all over the country That is con-
temptible method of warfare and the men
that recommend it ought to be boycotted in
turn by their employers, Men have per-
feet right to combine and refuse to work ex-
eept at such wages as they may stipulate,
but they have no right to attempt to break
down firms business by means of the boy

The scheme of the Salisbury cabinet for the
government Of Ireland which will be intro
duced into the House of Commong early in
the session proposes to create local divisions
for administrative purposes, and to invest
these governing bodies with power over mu-
nicipal and county expenditures within the
divisional limits. The bodies are to be cleo
tive, bat in every division aproportion of the
elective body will be composed of members
representing a high property qualification.
-Four main principles underly the measures :
First, decentralization by the transfer of a
large share of the powers now vested in de-
partments Of the State at Dublin and West
minister to the divisional bodies; second, res
eryation of vetoing power by the State;
third, the retention of representation of
property interests; fourth, the obliteration
of the small local boards where Nationalist
majorities rule. The bodies will have pow
er to borrow money for harbor Improvements
and public works, but only under the direct
supervision of the Imperial treasury The
English local self government measures are
on similar lines with very slight variations.
The bill gives the local bodies entire control
over nquor anu EDUCATION questions. LII eS-
tablishes local option in the granting and
regulation of licences, and the substitution
of free schools for the free system. The next
measure in Importance deals with the land
reform. 1t makes the registration of titles
compulsory, provides a complete system of
simple, cheap and effective registration and
transfer. The measure will probably prove
too radical for the Tories and not radical
enough to suit the Nationalist who will in

cott If the knights of Labor adopt this
method with the Spinneys they will forfeit
the respect of the community which viii
deyoutly wish for their overthrow
In perhaps the majority of controversies
between capital and labor the equities are ON
the side of the latter. This contest between
the Spinneys and the Knights of Labor
seems to be an exception. So far as we can
discover the Spinneys appear to be dealing
with their workmen fairly and justly and
we believe that if the wor1men were let
alone everything would be harmonious.
