Twelve moulders at the carbon works struck.
Monday, on the refusal of the company to accede
to their demands.
The men say that when they commenced work
for the company last October. they were paid on
scale that gave them $1.75 for los moulds in 10
hours work; that change was made at the be-
ginning of the holidays. whereby portion of the
men worked under new system of moulding.
and received one cent per mould, the balance
continuing under the original system. and
ceiving the same pay as before. This. it was
claimed, gave an advantage to those nearest the
press over those further removed. and last Friday
the company granted an increase to the last
mentioned workmen. after putting in tramway
to transport the moulds to the press. whereby
they received $l.75 for $50 moulds. the remainder
of the men working for cent per mould.
Then the company made further changes for
the purpose of equalizing the chances Of al, and
put the entire force upon the one cent per mould
| basis. The men objected to this. because they
| claim that it will take some time to become ac-
| customed to the new system. and that they will.
therefore. be obliged to work much harder. for a
| less compensation. for some time to come, aid
demanded that they be paid one and one-sixth
cents per mould until the company shall have
perfected their new system, and the men become
accustomed to the change, when, if it is demon
Strated by actual experience tnat tney can make
as much for the same labor and hours. at one cent
under the new system as at one and one-sixth
under the old. they would accept the company's
terms. They claim that at present there is a
difference of at least fifty cents per day, and the
most of them think they cannot possibly make
up that difference, even when accustomed to the
, new system. Tuesday morning they increased
f their demands to IL cents.
Prior to the last change they say they ha(
been making about $21O for eleven hour
work. few of them making high as 81 40
while under the new system they say they vii
q not average over S1.75 for the same hours.

The first production here of the authorized
dramatization of Mark Twain's romantic story,
THE Prince and the Pauper," will take place
at Reeds Opera House March 14th. The chief
Interest of the play is centered in little Elsie
Leslie, whose age and size exactly suit her to the
parts she has to assume. She has greater op-
portunity to display her dramatic ability in this
play than she had in her original character of
Little Lord Fauntleroy. Both as the Prince and
as the Pauper. she is said to be very effective.
This is indeed the era of early dramatic devel-
opment. Here is little girl. barely eleven years
old. who is entirely self-reliant as star. The
Prince and the Pauper" scored success in the
principal cities of the country last season. and
night and matinee performances were crowded
to witness the charming acting of little Elsie. a
most succinct and interesting dramatization of a
romantic story. wealth of handsome and cor
rect costumes of the time of bluff and unreliable
