A special to the Portland Press saws

A special to the Portland Press says:
Work in the shoe factory is at a low ebb.
The shop was put on half time the first of this
week, and number of the operatives have
been discharged, several of whom have &C.
cepted situations in other places, and others
will soon follow. A few months ago the shop
was put on scale of prices, adopted by the
firm and knights of Labor, since which time
the work has been steadily decreasing, much
of the work formerly done here being now
sent to the Pittsfeld, N. H., shop, run by the
same firm, but at non-uniOn prices. The
change Is much felt here, the pay roll having
decreased about IS per cent 1t is hoped
some arrangement can be made to bring about
better state of affairs. though it is probable
not much improvement will be felt during the
present run, which is too far along to make
any considerable change at present.
The saw mill here has not yet started. Be
tween 70 and 80 men are usually employed,
but the firm say they will not start until they
are assured of no interference in working
hours or the management OF the business by
their men or outside parties.
