tho Cane, McCnnrey Case.
The differences between Cane. Nc
Caffrey & Co., clot hiers, of this city, and
their employees were brought to an end
to-day by the decision of State Arbitra-
ton Commissioner Edward Feeney.
In his decision Commissioner Feeney
finds:
"First-That the workmen Of Cane,
Mccartney & Co., inspired by the hope
of all their fellow citizens. in February
last, that the normal conditions of trade
would be resumed before this time,
consented to reduction of 10 per cent
in their wages until the expected re-
sumption should occur.
"Second-That when Cane, Mccartney
& Co. agreed to a restoration OF wages
upon the resumption of the normal con-
dition, they apprehended that to mean
revival of general business that
brought with 1t a measure of prosperity:
conditions of trade have not been re-
stored, and. therefore. decide that the
men re-employed by Cane, McCanrey d
Co. on July %. and others similarly EN-
ployed, shall remain at work at the III
per cent. reduction in their wages. :.
I'm view of the fact that the so-called
minimum rate of $40 and s2i per week
for cloth, shear and knife cutters, re-
spectively. Is being paid by many of the
competing clothing manufacturers OF
New York City, l further decide that
the said minimum rate of wages shall
be restored to their employees by cane
McCaffrey & Co. on and after oct: !,
1894. The 10 per cent. restoration at that
date shall similarly apply to examiners
and trimmers.'
