A committee of the c. l.. +. of Brook

the Feigenspan Brewing Co.
A STATEMENT.
To the IojlerS Of BrOoklyR, Nelc York
and Nec Jersey
About four weeks ago, an empIov6 of
of the Feigenspan Brewing Co, reported
that he had been discharged because he
had refused to enter an Overheated vat.
which menaced his life
IhlS grievance was re erred to a COM
mittee Of the Local Executive Board of
the United Brewery Workmen aud of
the Brewers Union No. /, for investiga-
ton. The committee acted. and for the
purpose Of eliciting all the facts in the
case, the discharged empoye was con-
fronted with both the foreman and
Felgenspan He proved that his dis
charge had been unjust, and mainly due
to the fact that he had some time be-
fore demanded his regular union wages
according to the contract made between
Felgenspan and Brewers Union No. |.
which stipulated his wages to $1S Der
week instead of SIG, which he then
received.
During the investigation Feigenspan
ran amuck and threatened to slap the
face of the said employe He likewise
treated the committee in his usual brutal
manner.
The committee reported in detail to
the Local Executive Board and the
Brewers Union No. /, who in turn
referred the case to the G.. l.. T. of
Brooklyn.
A committee of this body in conjunc-
ton with the previous committees again
waited upon Feigenspan last Monday
and attempted to amicably arrange the
and reinstate the employe.
In vain. This committee reported as
the former had, to the Executive Board

The Central Labor Federation of
Brooklyn herewith declares that the
grievance referred to it by the Local
Executive Board of the United Brewery
Workers against the Feigenspan Brew
ing Co. has been most searchingly in.
vestigated and we find that an employ6
has been unjustly discharged out of
malice, which fact demonstrates that
this firm abuses the rights of its en-
ploy6s.
Ever since the moment when this
brewery became a union concern during
the lock out of 1888. the central bodies
of organized labor in Brooklyn have
continually had trouble because of its
disregard of the interests of labor gener
ally.
Although their business was almost
ruined before the lock out, in a few
years 1t had been made one of the most
prosperous through the efforts solely
and alone Of organized labor (Feigen-
span to-day is the proprietor of ten
tene ment houses and also owns con
siderable valuable property.J This firm,
nevertheless, did its best to III lure the
tollers. Whenever repairs were made III
the brewery. or al feigenspan's villa,
scabs were employed, such as carpenters,
cement masons, painters, etc, and owing
to the most strenuous efforts it was pos
sble to bring Fe'genspan to terms.
Regarding the enforcement of his con-
tract with the Brewers Unions. freQuel t
complaint was made of its violation
either by non payment of the union
wages or neglect to keep the union hours
and brutal treatment.
The officers and committee whose
duty it was to confer with Feigenspan
about these violations were treated to
abuse and discOurtesy of the most pro-
nounced type, and IatterIy it was almost
impossible to get a committee for
Feigenspan grievance.
This last case, IN which the life of a
disIiked employ6 who demanded his
rights was at stake, truly characterizts

VIM. p. Glenn, who died at HALEY
last week was well known throughout
southern Idaho and although he
may have had few faults he had
many friends. Regarding his death
the Wood River News Miner SAYS:
SAT about 1890 o'clock yesterday
afternoon William p. Glenn passed
away from the pleasures and griefs
of this earth He had been for sew
'eral years yictum of consumption,
and week ago last Friday he arrived
in HALEY, accompanied by his wife,
daughter of Mrs d. l.. Gray, hoping
that the climate here might stay the
progress of the disease He was
then very sick man, and the best
of medical treatment and nursing
proved of no avail
The deceased was well-lSnown by
the newspaper fraternity Of this state,
having in the fall of 1888 purchased
the Weiser leader of II. c. Street
now resident of this city. He con
tinued proprietor of the paper until
some time last year, when, after
spending several weeks in Oregon,
he returned to Idaho and established
the Payette Transcript. Owing to
rapidly failing health he was com
PEELED to retire from business. He
was always an outspoken and fearless
champion of whatever he believed to
be right He made an entertaining
paper at all times
The Caldwell Tribune says: "A

VIM. r. Glenn, well known news

being taken to Boise to answer a
charge of insanity For somt reason
it was not done, and he was taken to

they would scarcely escape from five
