CONCORD, N. H., Dec. 10.
All the operative in the shoe factory of
Lancaster & Co., of Pittsfield, were ordered
out by the executive board of the local as
sembly Knights of Labor this morning. The
trouble was occasioned through a disagree
ment with the female stitchers and the price
to be paid per case. Before work was begun
on the last run a satisfactory rate was made
and the girls expected the same for the pres
ent run. but Lancaster & Co. contemplated
making reduction equivalent to nine
cents per case to rectIty the error made
by them when they fixed the price before.
The stitchers demurred to the proposed cut
down and as the greatest number of them be-
long to the Knights of Labor that organization
took charge of the matter and endeavored to
secure an adjustment of the controversy but
failed. All the help went to work this morn
ing as usual but in short time the entire
force left the shop by direction of the Knights
and the doors were closed. The total num-
Der of hands out is 500.
