Cutters at War Among Themselves
In HaverhilI.

HAvERHILL, Mass, February 7.-Charles
A. Maxwell, president of the New England
Shoe Cutters Union, today accepted a situ-
alton as cutter in w. w. Spaulding's shoe
mandatory. This has given Cffense to the
Knights of Labor cutters, and is the begin
ming of a conflict between the two organiza-
tions. Maxwell claims he has not violated
any rules of the Cutters Union in taking the
place of a striking cutter. The Knights of
Labor cutters claim he has. Maxwell has
been acting as evening clerk for Quimby &
Whittier, dealers in furnishing goods, from
which position he was discharged, /. Is said,
by the request Of Knights of Labor officials.
The Knights of Labor cutte.s are using all
possible means to prevenc Spauidlng frum
obtaining men to take the places Of the
strikers, but he is gaining ground and will
probably secure his full complement in the
near future at SIG week, 81 q week less than
the price demanded by the Knights Of Labor
cutters. He had 10 cutters at work today
and expects 10 more tomorrow. The result
OF this contest will decide the price for cut
ting in all the factories in town.

syndicate, and il so what their terms would
be. These questions were addressed to them
by Messrs. Louis and Lawrence COntencin,
126 Pearl street, as agents Of the English syn
dicate.
The syndicate, it is said, will not enter in
to negotiations with any manufacturer whose
plant and business is worth more than $780,
600, or whose business pays less than 10 per
cent. If the manufacturers come to terms,
it is stated, the entire boot and shoe manu-
featuring business of the Eastern States will
be consolidated into one immense concern,
having its headquarters in this city and
branches at Boston and elsewhere.
Some leading manufacturers of lubri-
eating oil in this city have also been invited
to dispose of their business to an English
syndicate.
