Wood -,Carvers Locked Out by
Four Big Firms.
The Men Wanted to Give Their Un-
employed Fellows Work.
They Declare that the Bosses Broke
Their Agreement of 1893.

The strained relations which for a long
time have existed between the wood
carvers of this city and their employers.
has eliminated in the lockout of all the
men employed by four of the biggest
nrms. and there is every indication that
1t will spread. The firms mentioned are
tey & Co., Kimbal & Sons and Herter
Bros.
Several hundred men are interested
directly in the lockout, and from their
standpoint they see nothing in the move
ment but determination of the en-
ployers to ultimately reduce wages. The
whole trouble Is over the question Wheth-
stitute a days work. The workmen in

The action of the four firms named
was reported to the Wood Carvers
Union at their last meeting, and n
resolution was unanimously passed to
issue a manifesto to the public ex-
planning their position.
The manifesto refers to the fact that
a partial strike occurred in 1892 for the
eight-hour system. and that non-union
men took the places of strikers in some
instances, and lockout followed. The
strike was abandoned by the other trades
interested, but the wood-carvers them
selves continued the warfare until Octo-
ber. 1892, when. owing to increased busi-
ness, the manufacturers were obliged to
take the men back on their own terms
AS soon as !he rush was over, however,
the manufacturers insisted on the old
terms again. Another clash followed,
and after long warfare the manufac-
turers, according to the manifesto We're
forced to make terms again iii 1893.
Walking Delegate Bausch, who was
also Chairman of the Committee which
drafted the manifesto. said that several
hundred men were now out of employ
ment in consequence of the lockout. The
matter will probably come up before the
Central Labor Union on Sunday.
