LABOR TROUBLE.
The Wilmington sIaiieable Iron Com
pany and Their MouIders at Logger
heads--Isoih Claim to be Right.


A labor trouble that has loomed up
Into considerable prominence exists be-
tween the proprietors of the Wilmington
Malieable Iron Company and the
moulders OF the company. From what
can be learned OF the difficulty, it seems
that ou Wednesday, October 23, the COM
pany gave notice that on the following
Saturday the mills would he shut down
Tor repairs and the men paid In iull. On
that day q committee from tbs Mould. ,
Union asked MI. Bailey, treasurer OF the
company, when the works would open
again, but he said he could not tell.
They called on Saturday, November 2, to
find when the works would open aud
were told that thcy would be notified by
postal card when they were wanted.
When the works re-opened some of the
men received notice that they might re-
turn to work at 20 per cent reduction in
their wages.
Tney refused to accept this without
notifying the committee, when the COM
pany sent to New York for men, and on
| "Wednesday last there were about 20 men
and apprentices at work. The Moulders'
Union committee, consisting of John
Brennan, William O'Connell, James
Brophy, Charles Lawson, John Ash,
Charles Sleppeburg and John Fisher,
called upon the comIany and demanded
an explanation, but Mr.. Bailey only re.
piled that the company was capable OF
managing its own business, and proposed
doing so. After being told that the
MoulderS' Union would fight the COM
pauy, he said go ahead aud fight. Two
men who came from New York yester-
day, when told how matters stood, re-
fused to 20 to work.
Treasurer Bailey is reported to have
said: "The Wilmington Malleable Iron
Company can run Its own business, and
will do so. We have no desire TO enter
into newspaper controversy. We have
not refused to take back the men, and
even offered to hire two of the committee
In our Office yesterday morning. We
have never antagouized the union. Two
of the New York men were persuaded by
members OF the union to leave to-day"
A member OF the firm is said to have
stated that there WAS not reduction oil
20 per cent. except on few patterns,
which even the moulders themselves said
was rated too high.
The moulders can hardly account for
the difficulty, as their relationship with
the firm had generally been pleasant
aud II any difficulty occurred commit
tee soon straight. matters up. Any
OF the workmen, 1t is said, can return Il
he Will sign an agreement which has no
been approved by the Moulders' Union
and none OF the men will return II sucl
arrangements are not made with thu
said committee. One of the committed
states that the irm said ''tbo workmeT
got every dollar made during the pas
year." The committee said that th'
reason of that was "that tue foreman
they had knew nothing about iron, and
all the loss caused by his spelling iroI
was blamed on the men. The average
wages is but Sl3 per week. II they did
not want us they should have told vi
when the works closed."
1t is not known yet how the matte
will eud, but 1t Is hoped that the diff
Guilty will b. amicably settled and thu
moulders get to work.

G ood News From the mineral Spring.
At Gladstone, on the philadelphia
road, on the 1st of October, there came
to the spring from Philadelphia a gentle
man and his son, named Perrin; the
young man had bright's disease snd
rheumatism; for q long time they were
mt the sea shore an d travelled all around,
still his son was DO better. Some one at
Atlantic City told them CT the min raj
spring near Wilmington, and they came
here. The young man said he had no
laith In water, he had doctored so much
and was no better, he thought such a
simple thiug as water would be OF no use
to him. Prof. Hunt told him all right, II
he had no faith in water 1t was OF no
use to try it. His father sail, will do
this way. Send him barrel of water.
II 1t does him good l Ill pay for 1t, If
not l won't pay. Prof. Hunt said all
right He bought the barrel, filled 1t, put
1t on Bush'e packet and sent 1t to Philadel-
phia. That was 10 Octohse. That young
man was then sight; 10 was skin and
bone, weak, hollow Crested, short OF
breath, yellow as lemon, ready to die
you would think. On Monday of this
week his father and he came to the
spring. | wish every one that is sick
looked like he did. His cheeks are rosy,
he gained pounds, he locks like a new
man, he stands erect; no STOPPING In his
walk. Now any one that won't praise
the spring water had better keep away
fiom him. They came with money and
praise and thankfulness, aud ordered
more water, as they said the Schuylkill
water was SO bad he would drink none OF
