HAyERHILL, Mass, Jan. l5.-The repor
in circulation today that the combined man
ufacturers are about ready to give up tn
contest. is denied in toto by President S
Porter Gardiner. He says every one of tn,
nine are ready to fight it out on the line
started upon until doomsdsy il necessary
In regard TO the report that some of The
nine were financially too weak to continue
the fight much longer, one who knew sale
this afternoon that each one of the signer,
of the bond was amply able to prolong the
contest 10 any length of time.
| In regard to the matter of the cut-dow
leading Washington street manufacture
said the Manufacturers Association had al
ways been weak on that point. No mem.
Der Was obliged to submit price list TO the
committee before presenting it to EN-
ployes. Had this been done BY J. II.
Winchell Co the present trouble would
probably never have been heard Of bv the
outside world.
Matters at the factory of Jennings
n
Men were boxing and loading machinery
upon freight cars for Epping, n. H. After
the machinery is sent away all DOORS will
| tie locked.
Today, in the cutting room and bottom
ing room, the doors were locked and the
box factory was Idle. Each side is boast
ing of their great staying powers, and are
anxiously waiting for some show of weak
ness in the opposing front. The working
men are united and are growing stronger
every day. They have all the confidence
possible in the leaders and each other, and
have on their side strong public senti
ment
Presilen; Gardiner said today: Il
understand that Moulton referred to an iu-
terview he had with me. | will say, as a
member Of the firm of Gardner Bros,
that should Moulton bring price list into
my factory, | should tear 1t up and order
him out of the factory"
Judge Carter declares it as his opinion
that the bond signed by nine associates is
illegal and could not bind them to forfeit.
Last evening a branch International union
was organized by Secretary Skeftington
among boot and shoe cutters. This after
noon treers were organized by the same
official The general belief ia that higher
wages will be the rule in all departme Mt IS
of work in Hsverhiil hereafter.
Workmeu submit this proposition to
Winchell or nine manufacturers " ho signed
the manifesto:
That committee of business men will
be appointed to examine the books of Jas
III. Winchell 6 Co, investigate the wages
paid the help in that factory and compare
these wages with those paid In the shops
of other places manufacturing the same
goods. From the result of this work let
the committee make q decision and recon-
mendation which shall be binding"
Jennings, Friedman & Stevens notified
their workmen they are at liberty to obtain
jobs where ever they can, and shall have
the first choice of the old Jobs when the
ported today he had been refused job in
the factory at which he made application
for work because he was one of the locked
out men.
Workmen regard this as open conspiracy
by manufacturers to deprive them of a
chance 10 earn a living. Chick Bros
deny that any member of the firm ever
stated that thu average wages of the men in
their boot shop run from S. to Sl2 per
week. The same said of the statement at
tributed to S. Ruddock & Son, that Harry
c. Mouiton said the strike must result in
victory for the Union or nothing else.
J. II Winchell & Co., this afternoon,
published as@orn statement, IN which they
say their men were earning good pay and
were apparently satisfied; when Moulton
presented the price list he said he Intended
to put it throughout the city, at which the
firm referred him to the president of the
Manufacturers Association, according to
an agree ment made two years ago, which
was that each firm could settle indi vidually
with the workmen, bu. the general price
list must go TO the association. The price
list was so high they could not afford to ac-
cept it. They deny grinding down the
working people and claim that they paid
better wages and treated their help better
than any shoe firm in the city. They
acknowledge that the price list is lower
than three years ago, but that is due to the
improved machinery. wh.ch allows the
help to make as much money.

We should look we'll to our own farmin g,
that We may not dishonor agriculture, and
we should watch with a jealous eye ard a
ready arm for the first attempts TO despoil
agriculture of its rights and just rewards,
The always timely reminder should not
be forgotten that there !. a. much in saw

hand often has more net cash at the end of
