H. L. Pratt, Esq, 4gent Bates Manufacturing
Company:
Dear Sir,-I have given the various matters
concerning the difficulties Of our company and It's
employeS a careful consideration. deem 1t
proper to express to you and through you to the
employees the views of the directors and myself
as treasurer. Upon the issue OF the restoration
of Mr. Dalton there was but one course to pur-
sue. The issue is in no sense personal one.
Neither the managers of the corporation nor you,
so far as / can learn, have any feelings adverse
to Mr. Dalton. That his action which precipitated
the going out of the loom fixers was clear viola
ton of an admitted rule of fair mill govern.
ment, cannot be doubted. To yield the point OF
his restoration would in our view endanger. a re-
lation which no fair minded advocate OF labor
rights will deny. The directors and treasurer do
not regard the issues thus raised as yours person.
ally They belong solely to your company.
You are therefore to resist to the end any and
all propositions which have as condition Mr.
DaltOnS return TO our employ. You Hdfc ShUWi

these matters when properly presented to you,
but you cannot discuss these questions until the
present issue is settled aud the mills resume
operations as usual. With the present attitude OF
our employees the uncertainty of their return pre-
cludes this 1t is proper for me to state that the
Bates mills will in the future adjust the prices
paid its employees so that they shall be equal to
the prices paid for like services in similar mills.
This understand, is the position you have here
tofore assumed.
Inasmuch as you have no means of personal
communication with the employees. advise that
YOU open the gates of the mill on Monday morning
next at the usual hour and receive all such as may
see fit to return in view of the several suggestions
/ have here made. But if no sufficient number
return to run the mills successfully you are direct
ed to continue the suspension OF operations.

In accordance with these Instructions the mill
will be open to receive all employees who choose
to return to their work at the usual hour next

a Statement of the Lime Burners
Side of the Question.

RoCKLAND, Feb. 12.-Concerning the troubles
between the lime burners in this city and their
employers, the Opinion says Everybody here
understands that the manufacturers are simply
playing bluff game, and that lime burning will
proceed as usual in short time, so that business
IS not Interrupted. The men employed in The
ont of the wear ANYHOW, and would as soon
take their enforced vacation now as at any other
time. All understand that as much lime as ever is
if will be all the buster by and by. The rock haul
ers are the class most inconvnced by the lockout
as the hauling has been excellent for the past two
muddy But many of these are employing their
teams at other work, and all propose to make the
manufacturers pay for whatever loss they sustain
by the lockout when they cN3e around to making
terms for recommending work.
