troll. Not another hide will be taken

60 days that the 100 tanneries are closed
more than $4,000 labOrers, tanners,
clerks and employees generally will be
without work. The meeting at which
the lookup was decided upon was held a
few days ago at the Office of the trust.
The concerns shut up represent 80 per
cent of the hemlOck tanneries and 40 per
cent of the union, the latter sO-called
because they use combination of hem
lock and oak bark in tanning. Few of
the strictly oak tanneries are included,
as they are mostly out of the trust.
