How the Minneapolis COOpers Have
CUT Their Business Down.

How the Minneapolis COOpers Have
CUT Their Business Down.
Northwestern Miller.
To the careful observer it would seem
that the cooper business in Minneapolis was
never in a more deplorable or helpless state
than at present. For several months past
there has been an outward appearance of a
harmonious state of affairs, but this has
only served as mask for much underlying
friction and dissatisfaction, which has
finally become so intense as to cause an
open rupture. On May 1 the shops and
working coopers entered into an arrange
ment to equalize the prices of barrels and
maintain certain wages. Some shops had
contracts, and these were recognized but it
was stipulated that no new contracts should
be taken, it being desired to get the shops
all free of contracts and then establish
standard prices and wages. An agreement
OF this character was drawn up in writing
and signed by all the shops then existing,
and the coOperS, the latter being repre-
scented by the district board of the Knights
of Labor. For a short time there was COM
parative peace in the cooper family. but
after a while rumors of fragrant violations
of the compact began to be circulated and
were so persistenty talked, that they soon
carried conviction III the minds of
many. The district board was ap-
pealed to for relief, but could
afford none, as it claimed to be unable
to obtain the necessary proof to convict.
The shops suffering from the violation of
the agreement lost ali faith in its efficacy and
felt constrained to protect their own inter
eStS the best they could. This made the
compact, though nominaIly kept in force,
ineffective and of small consequence. With
the advent of Sept. l, different shops came
to the conclusion that the time had arrived
for more open action, and nearly all have
pursued course in accordance with the de-
mands of their business, leaving the agree
ment wholly out of account From SO. SO
and 40 cents, established in February, prices
of barrels have declined until So and 36
cents seem to be the ruling quotations at
present, and even lower figures are given
in some instances. An inevitable conse-
quence of this heavy decline in barrel values
has been reduction in wages. Under the
old regime Is cents for hand work was the
standard price, and was paid by all the
shops except those holding old contracts.
This has now been reduced by the majority
Of shops to between II and 13 cents per

OF INTER EST TO WORXINGMEN
News Of the Last Six Days From all
Over the CnunIrY

An attempt to arbitrate the difficulties con-
nected with the New York clothing cutters
strike failed. A committee of the Knights of
Labor waited on the executive committee of
the clothing manufacturers on Tuesday and
proposed that the lockout be declared at an
end, and all the men be taken back. This
proposition was rejected, the manufacturers
insisting that the non-union men now en-
plOyed be kept at work, and agreeing to en-
pIOy such strikers as they needed. Later in
the week more cutters went out on strike.
The demonstration of the Knights of Labor
in Baltimore on Monday was participated in
by about $4,000 men. In New York 10000
men were in line, $4,000 in Brooklyn and
$4,000 in Chicago. In Boston $4,000 turned
out. AT Reward, N. j.. the factories closed
and $4,000 workmen participated in the
march. At Albany, n. Y, 5000 men were in
the parade.
It is expected that the Richmond conven-
ton of the knights Of Labor will authorize
the starting of a weekly paper, which every
member of the order will subscribe for, and
which will not only represent the order edi-
tOrially but publish the correct news of labor
events, which the order now claims cannot

Some time ago it was mentioned by the
Northwestern Miller that certain member
of the Minneapolis COOpers' assembly.
while holding the Office of treasurer, had
disappeared with some of the funds OF the
organization. The name of the party was
not at the time given for the reason that by
some it was believed the derelict officer
might return and satisfactorily explain his
absence. All chance of that has now dis
appeared and in the interest of justice a
full statement OF the case is warranted.
The party in question was William Hen
shaw, well known in the city and former
member of the Cooperative Barrel COM
pany. His election TO the secretaryship of
the assembly was done hastily to meet the
exigencieS arising from the sudden resigna-
ton of the old treasurer. AT the time he
decamped there was S64 in the treasury,
and this he appropriated. Several other
parties have reason TO mourn his absence,
the Twin City Barrel company Eight bar
rel shop being among the number, having
about $50 thus invested The present resi-
dence of HenShaw is unknown, but meas
ureS are being taken to find and bring him
to justice. Any party knowing of his
whereabouts will confera favor by address

A ST. PAUL. MAN
who Had An Experience Worth

Montague Henming, of 40S Wabasha street,
St. Paul, said: 81 had been troubled for
more than year with the disease OF catarrh
in its worst form. 1t seemed to have afflicted
me even more than the most of it's victims,
for it made me nearly deaf and stopped up
one of my nostrils entirely. 1t came on from
a cold I caught. My hearing was so badly
affected that l could not understand words
spoken in ordinary conversation. Ny nose
was in such condition that l could not
breathe through it at all. 1 felt weak and
respondent, with very little disposition 10
work. A friend advised me to go and see
DIR. Mccoy. Well, placed myself under his
treatment. He told me that my difficulty in
breathing was caused by detection OF the
septum of my nose and thickened mucous
membrane brought about by the catarrh:
that my deafness was due entirely to catarrh.
By very delicate little operation he straight
ened the septum. so that almost at once [
could breathe without difficulty. He then
placed me on treatment for catarrh. [
regained my strength and appetite rapidly.
Within two weeks my hearing was completely
restored. All the symptoms Of my sdisease
gradually passed away, and to-day 1 am
happy to state that 1 am as well as I ever was
in nv life. -
