Mr.. Moses to pay them the highest rates OF
wages paid for similar work by English pot
tiers. and to add thereto the 55 per cent. duty
provided by the Mckinley tariff. The work.
men resolved not to accept the offer. They
subsequently, notified Mr.. Moses Of their de-

shoulder the responsibility Of settling this
imp ortant question. which would Affect all our
fellow workmen In the United States" A COM
mittee OF thirty employees convened the an
