point as to whether they themselves wish to
belong to either.
The scale now in vogue has been running
for three years and it will expire at the end
of the current year. il not reinforced by
agreement. The agreement attached to the
scale contains a clause under which either
side NAV terminate the scale by giving no.
tice of intention prior to October 1, in any

Conflicting reports are waited on the
breeze concerning the intentions OF the men.
Some five or six weeks ago committee re-
presenting 400 of the employees of the work S
waited on Superintendent Schwab and as
sured him that they were very content with
the existing rates and did not desire any
change.
Despite the assurance of committee of
the 400, it is said, on very good authority,
that petition will be presented for an increase
over present rates. to be presented, of course,
before the expiration of the month. Just what
the reasons are which impel the proposed
action are not readily understood, except they
are found in the laudable ambition of every
laborer to get much as possible for his hire.
