THE MEN QUIT WORK.

Piece SC0Ie.

Some time ago the Dickson Manufact-

shops from the Penn avenue location
to new buildings erected on the Cliff
Works site and in doing SO. the boiler
makers were transferred also. The men
were accustomed to working by the day
in the Tenn avenue shops. but the
employees on locomotive work have al
ways done piece work. In view of the
transfer the men were placed on a
piece work basis when they took up
work at the Cliff works, and not being
accustomed to the new departure, sew
eral of them laid down their tools yes
terdaN.
When seen by a Tribune rcprcgen-
tative last night. Superintendent May
had not been informed of the action
taken by the men. but VouChsafcd the
information that there was no intention
on the part Of the company 10 do any
injustice to the men. He said the COM
tive work on a piece scale basis, and
simply intended to place the men taken
on from the Penn avenue works or the
same basis of wages.
Instead of their being unable 10 make
as much money, they will be able to
earn more. There was no doubt, he
said, but that the men would resume
work as soon as the conditions We're
thoroughly explained to them. They
are all expert men," he said. land will
