The examiner., 1886-01-02


 Have you sworn off yet? if not, it is time you did.
 One of the ''scabs" named White was re- fused shave in New Haven barber shop last Saturday. It must inspire dignifed and manly bearing in man to be thus treated like mangy dog.
 There is a. petition in circulation among the store-keepers to sell none of the strik- CTS any goods. Possibly we will give the names of those who sign it, as we'll as the man who started it, in few days.
 Some of the ''scabs'' went into Coyn's saloon for drink night or two ago, but they came out just as dry as when they went in Munson has been notified to keep out of several places.
 It is all wrong to boycott Gin some peo- ples minds) but, nevertheless, there is movement on foot by some of the business men to boycott the EXAMINER, and crush it out of existence. They have laid out a large piece of work to do.
 Every few days some one runs amuck, jumps into a store and notifies the propri- etor that unless he does so and so they will be boycotted. It would be we'll for some of the K. of l.. officers to put a stopper on such fellows, as such things are not in keep Ing With the order.
 According to the statement of Mr. Wise, the boycott is a splendid arrangement. He says that he done fully as much holiday trade as that of last year, which fact seems strange, as last year it was almost impossi- ble to get into the store, while this year in the busiest hour of Christmas eve, the clerks were leaning on the counters wait ing for customers.
 The people showed their appreciation of the All Star Minstrel Co.,, by filling the Tingue rink to its utmost capacity Christ mas night. During the day about 200 of the strikers headed by the showmen and Echo band, paraded the principal streets, and thereby advertised the show in the best possible manner. The entertainment was one of first class merit the frequent bursts of applause fully proved. About Jal. IS the show will start out on another trip under the name of Floyds Mintrel and Speciality Co Their number wi ill be in creased to g, which will include brass band numbering 13 pieces. The receipts are to go to the strikers.
 Nothing of any particular note has oc- cured in the Silver shop affair, except perhaps, the increased feeling of bitterness between the strikers and their opponents Most of the strikers, and we mean by that all but three or four, are firm as a rock, ana VIII not go DacK LO Work under labor crusher Miller, unless their demands al e complied with to the very letter. We have told the public, and not one truth has been disputed, the various methods of conduct ing the Silver shop, and the schemes by which the stockholders and employees are swindled. The directors meeting will take place in about two weeks, and then it will be known whether they will let the old clique play them for succors auother pc riod. Perhaps the stockholders don't know that they paying A. R. Smith heavy salary to keep open store into which any one seldom enters. The sales of one of the Saturdays previous to Christmas was $1 40. That fact speaks for itself. Perhaps the stockholders don't know that the clique have hired hands into the shop at fancy prices so as to sell them building lot at South End. There is lots more of the7same schemes which, perhaps, the shareholders don't know. If they don't know, it is time they did. We think it no more than fair that an investigation Ill behalf of the strik- CTS shonld be had, then if it is found that they have struck for their rights, and no more, let them have them. If they have struck in the wrong they will, no doubt be willing to rectify the matter, abiding by the decision of unbiased arbitrators.
