About 25O of the unpaid employees of the assigned firm of Fay, Peck & Go. of Monson met in the machine hall of the shop Saturday afternoon in response to 8 card from the firm. Members of the New York branch of the house were present, and statement of the financial affairs of the concern was presented, which they re- that the firm owe the help about $36, ,O00. The firm state that the importers have agreed to settle for 20 cents on $1, and they proposed to pay the help 623 cents on $1 and presented paper for signatures. Nat urally, the paper was signed by only few, most of them demanding the full amount of their claims. After two hours delibera- tion, they adjourned till Thursday at p. m, The firm stated that if 8 settlement could be made, the shop would probably be run the coming season. Otherwise 1t would take year or more to close the matter up. This and the alleged prospect of re- ceiving less by letting the law take its course, it is expected will cause most of the help to accede to the proposed terms at the next meeting.
