early hour yesterday q large force of
the lsborers' union of this place, estI-
mated to be q thousand strong, marched
in q body across the river to Menomi-
nee and surrounded one of Kirby Car
penter COmpany's boarding houses be-
fore the men had been to breakfast and
not allowing q man to go to work. The
act is the outcome of q meeting held
here by the members in which they
stated the Kirby Carpenter company
was employing non-unIon men in their
mills, which they had done, allowing
their men II hours as a days work
with one hour for dinner, the balance of
the season. The union claims the Kir
by Carpenter Co. was quietly hiring and
importing men from Chicago to work
at the standard the same as before the
last lock out, waving all claims and
rights to themselves and to tie ten hour
law of Michigan, as il is now in force ;
that the mill had its complement of men
ana could be run in full force from this
on. Up to late hour last night no set
Element was made or any arrangement in
which the mills will again start up
The company are determined that the
mills will be run on the old system.
while the union is equally determined
that no men shall go to work under such
an arrangement. Trouble is feared.
