RICHMOND.
Cash LIE aving the Richmond Traders
Pockets and for What Reason.

Especial to the Kennebec Journal
RIcHMoND, April 2l.
The third week of the lockout at Cald-
veil & Libby's ended Saturday night with a
direct loss to the usual trade circulation of at
at least five thousand dollars in cash. The
pay roll of the shops for the week previous
to the trouble was fifteen hundred do liars.
and Mr.. Libby, of the firm. informed the
writer that by the middle of May it would
have reached two thousand iullars per week,
as orders were coming in fast and help was
being added daily. The loss of this cash in
direct circulation has been so felt among
the tIadesmen that they seem to be the most
anxious for settlement. The latest report,
Saturday afternoon, was that the firm hsd
decided to move to the factory at Randolph.
Repre- sentatives of that institution were in
town Saturday and conferred with Caldwell
& Libby, but with what result is not definite
ly known. 1t now lies in the firms power to
keep the Richmond factore, closed for some
four years, as they hold leases for about that
time. Should they allow themselves to do
so the town would thereby receive blow
from which it would take a long time to
recover. During conversation between the
IL n
firm asked if in case of set
Element they would be obliged to
discharge their present employees, The
substance of the answer was; "You bet ="
and the substance of their reply to that was
You bet we will not" Some little alterca-
tons have taken place between the pres Mt
and past employees, but nothing serious.
One Of the non-union men made himself
conspicuous, Saturday night, but very soon
subsided. The men keep closely to their
boarding places and there seems to be no
chance fol- trouble. Luce, who was assault
ed the other day, has left town. Every one
seems to think tire climax of the affair is
rapidly approaching and are waiting an1iousy
for the verdict.
