The Furniture workers. Strike.

About sixty furniture workers met ia the din.
ing-room of Mozart Hall, last night to consider
the strike at the Western furniture factory. It
was stated that the wages paid at this factory
are lower than at any other furniture factory in
the city. The question of inaugurating strike
at the Cabinet Makers Union was discussed and
it was decided that so do SO at present would be
bad policy. 1t was the general sentiments that it
would be best to throw all the strength and in
fuence of the workers into the cause of the
strikers at the Western furniture factory. If
necessary, the workers, the knights Of Labor,
and others. will contribute to the support OF the
strikers. Another meeting will be held at the
same place, Monday night, TO further consider
the situation.

Looked Upon as an Experiments

The financial success of the Erie Express
Company is still matter of very grave uncer
tainty, but President King is disposed to take a
very sanguine view of it. While the United
States Express Company was operating on this
line 1t was the policy of the Erie to discourage
the express business in order to get the freight
traffic. Now its policy is to encourage the bust
ness at the expense of the freight trafie for the
former is the more remunerative. A considera-
BILE amount of business that would otherwise
have been transacted by freight will now doubt
less be crowded through by express. in order to
make big showing for this department.
