BOYCOTT AT WORK
Griffing Iron Works Al
legged to Have Lost a
Number of Contracts.
PICKETS STILL ON DUTY.
Rumor Of Detection in the Ranks
of the Locked Out Men
Denied.
PICKETS STILL ON DUTY.

Although many rumors have been put into
circulation TO the effect that many OF the
employees of the Grifing Iron Company have
returned to work at the reduced scale OF
wages, the locked out employees deny en-
phatically that any of the men have left
their ranks. One of the officers of the en-
ployes' association, when interviewed by
reporter of THE JERSEY CITY NEWS this
morning said:-
''The officials of the Griffing Company are
putting these rumors into circulation SO as to
give the public the imoression that we are
weakening, and unable to remain idle for
any length of time. THE JERSEY CITY
NEWS has, in its reports of the trouble,
treated both sides fairly, and desire to
state in its columns that the men are still
standing together and are as confident of
winning victory as they were when they
quit work.
official of the Griffing Iron Company to
prove that any man has left our ranks to re-
turn to work in the shop. We are receiving
the support of all the branches of the build
ing trades, and we would be foolish indeed
to return to work at the reduced scale of
wages.
EFFECT OF THE BOYCOTT.
ssThis trouble has already cost the COM
pany thousands Of dollars. Last week the
company received a contract TO furnish the
radiators and steam fittings for large hotel
which is being erected on Seventy second
street, New York, but as soon as the steam
filter learned that Griting radiators were to
be used they refused to work, and the con-
tract was awarded to another radiator firm
in New York. The Grifing Company has
also lost the work of the Curtis Electric
Company, of Lafayette. The electric com
pany last week ordered number of castings,
but as the Gritfing people were unable to fill
the order, the work was awarded to another
company.
'sfhe Steamftters' Union did not declare
a boycott against the Griffing goods for
bluff The union means business, and the
sooner the Griffing officials realize this the
better it will be for them.n
PICKETS ON DUTY.
The locked-out employees are still holding
meetings every morning to appoint pickets,
who patrol the streets near the works. The
employees are conducting their affairs in
such systematic and orderly way that the
policeman who was detailed by CAPTAIN Nc
Kaig to watch them has been relieved of this
duty.
