months Mr.. Howard has been trying TO

WATCHES DROP.
Trade at Waltham Is Said to Be Growing
Stacker and Stacker.

BosroN, March ia new and threat
ening aspect OF affairs prevails at the
works OF the American Wat ch Factory at
waltham, beside which the strike Of
'ssettiug up" girls becomes insignificant.
The situation carries anxiety TO the peo-
pie of the Watch city, for besides those
employed at the factory many Others are
to a great extent dependent Indirectly TO
the watch company for their livelihood.
Before the strike of the girls on the
"setting up" job was thought OF 20 girls
in the setting up department. were iaio
off, for the company had Issued orders IN
all Departmental 10 reduce the output in
the same proportion that II had been
reduced by sending out the 20 girls. This
order was practically in operation at the
time of the strike. and the laying on OF 20
girls in the finishing department is Part
OF the plan TO reduce the output, and
would have happened if there had not
been strike.
When the "setting up" girls were laid
off. il was for the purT ose OF keeping up
the company'S organization of work peo-
pie in hope that increased sales would
warrant returning to the old output. But
the past ten days have shown that the
watch market, instead OF improving, Is
going from bad to worse. This, tDen,
must mean lay-off in all OF the DEPART
ments, or reduction in the number OF
working hours il all OF the emp. Dyes are
kept.
Already departments, commencing with
the plate department, are feeling the re-
duced output Now, this cannot be said
to be caused by the "setting up" girls
strike, as this part OF the work is all done
previous to reaching them, and the only
department that the girls could possibly
effect would be the finishers.
The fact is, the trade In the watch
market is as dull as it was during the
panic of August, 1898. The work is grow
ing scarce, but the full effect is not, as
yet, felt, neither will IL be for week or
two, from the reduced output OF the plate
department.
Many OF the employees will, no doubt
try to make the same Kind OF deaf that
the finishers did, that is, divide into two
forces and then alternate in working and
laying off, while on the other hand 1t
might prove economy for the company TO
reduce the working hours in the different
departments in proportion to the amount
of work needed from them.
AS the work is being reduced in the
departments the interest in the strike Is
dying out, and the outcome OF the latest
Developments will be watched with in
terest.
