LABORERs QUIT WORK.
Chemical Works Employees Decline
to Have Their Wages Cut.

The Richmond Chemical-Works plant
OF the Virginia Carolina Company has
announced cut in the wages o, about
two hundred negro employees from 81 per
day to 50 l-3 cents. and yesterday morn
ing, when the cut went into effect. a
number OF the men quit work. Their
places will be filled at once. and the work
will continue without interruption.
II was explained at the works that the
reduction was made for the purpose OF
eGualizing the scale OF wages paid labor
ers at the various plants OF the company.
For some time past the laborers employ
ed at every other plant have received only
IS is cents a day, while The negroes at
the Richmond Chemical-Work got 81 for
the same work. This disparity I'm compen-
sation made the colorsd workers at tho
other plants dissatisfied, and IL became
necessary finally either TO raise them on
par with tho Richmond plants force
or reduce the wages OF the latter. Hence
the reduction ordered yesterday.
