cent and we accepted rather than have
trouble On starting work this season they
cut prices from IL to 20 per cent. We con-
s1dered that reduction unreasonable, and

superintendent. to g ant us last years prices

or experienced men in the shops to do all the
work compelled the company to employ
some strangers, and they not being satisfied
to work piece-Work at the prices offered. Ie-
fused to do so. On March IA we were called
into Mr.. Dixon's office and he charged us

former agreement On these grounds we are
out, and out to stay until our reasonable de-
mauds are acceded to.
