the location of the completed portion Of
the proposed railroad, should be ac-

was received here to-day from reliable

| Yesterday morning the press COM
| mittee OF the packers aud nailers'
association sent out the following notice:
| "The Crosby company
| having broken their previous agreee-
| ment as to wages with the packers and
nailers strike has been ordered and all
hands are out. Meetings have been
| held frequently since the supposed set
tlement OF the differences which eX-
| listed, and, after due deliberatiOn and
discussion, they have decided TO demand
the scale which was agreed upon at
their last conference on the wage ques-
| ton"
Between the hours of and II o'clock
every packer and mailer in the three
Washburn-Crosby mills, A, B and e.
went out oil strike, and the mammotl
mills closed down. The men in c mill
quit work first, and the others were not
long in following suit. AS stated in
the notice sent out by the press commit
| tee,the trouble is over wages. The men
claim that the mill company's agree
ment, by which the packers were to
have s2.7a and the nailers 1926 day.
has been violated. Unskilled labor has
been employed at skilled work, they
claim, and that wages below the scale
agreed upon have been paid.
Meetings have been held frequently
of late, and the packers and nailers
have aired their grievances to consid-
cradle extent. They maintain that the
mill company is endeavoring to break
down the system of organization and
the established schedule of wages with
the view Of paying smaller wages for
all time. The number of men on a
strike is about two hundred. A meet
ing OF the men was held last night at
Labor Temple, and it was decided to
stick to their colors. They were all in
| favor OF holding out because they were
sure they wore right and that the mill
company was wrong.
About three weeks ago the packers
| and nailers went out on a strike because
CT Change Ill the number OF hours of
work. The company conceded this
point. but the officials state that they
will cOncede nothing more. John WASH
burn stated yesterday that the men
were unreasonable. They wanted the
company to discharge number of men
VINO were working on small bags at the
mills, and who were being paid Sl75 a
day. Mr.. Washburn stated that the
work was not skilled and did not come
| into competition with the packers and
| nailers.
THE trouble IS" said Mr.. Washburn,
these men want to run our business for
us and we will not submit to it. This
time we intend to fight the thing out In
earnest. Wages such as these men are
getting now. $2.25 and s. IS. are good
wages In hard times like these, and il
they find reason to strike where none
exists let them suffer the consequences.
We intend to replace them as rapidly
as possible with unframed men. who
can learn to be experts in a. few weeks.
That is the position we have taken on
this issue and we intend 10 stand by it."
The strikers declare that they do not
intend to create any disturbance, no
matter what the result of the strike may
be. They are hard working and peace
able citizens, they say. and all they
want is their rights and enough to live
on to take care OF their families.
