Walsham, Mass, March 23.-A notice
was posted at the American Walthan
Watch Company's factory this evening
that thu factory would close Friday for
week to give the managers opportunity
to readjust one Of the departments. The
department In question is the ''finish-
ing" room where about 80 highest sal
arisd men in thu factory are emp loyed.
They worked under nm agreement which
expires March 81. The finishing is practi-
cally trade secret and the fnishers have
the only trade union In the watch indus
try. Their rules forbid the teaching Of
work to women, but it is claimed that
somebody has been secretly teaching the
trade to women, and the men feared if
they made any demand for renewal OF
the contract they would be discharged
and women hired in their place. They
accordingly sought membership in the
Federation of Labor, and this they claim
is the cause of the trouble.
