LOCAL LABOR TROUBLES.
Wage Farmers Having Difficulties With
Their Employers.

At the meeting of the Central Labor
Union Wednesday evening, the situation
between the union and non-union men
employed by Cutting, Bardwell & Co.
on the new A. S. Lowell block at the
corner of Norwich and Foster streets,
was fully discussed, and when the
Building Trades Council makes recon-
mendation to the Central Labor body
whether it declares the job "seab" job
or not, and the union men are ordered
off, then the formal support will be CIV
en-. There will be a conference today
between members of tn Builders Ex-
change, the Central Labor Union and
the contractors and it is hoped that some
amicable agreement may be reached. If
not, the conference committee will leave
the task of a reconciliation alone, and
other measures will be adopted to attain
their end.
No settlement has been effected at the
shoe shop of j. Edward Wesson at Z
Asylum street between the proprietors
and some of the girls, who claim that
they have been obliged to leave owing
to sweeping reductions in wages. A call
was made at Mr. Wesson's residence, Z
Linden street, Wednesday evening, but
Mr.. Wesson sent word that he was sick
and would see no one. A relative, in the
confidence of the firm, spoke for Mr..
Wesson, and would not deny that there
had been a reduction in the scale of
prices from 20 to 80 cents on some pieces
of work, nor that several of the girls
had left He said the matter was one for
settlement between the operatives and
the members of the firm, and that the
public had no interest in the matter
whatever.
The notice of cut, it is stated by
those interested. was posted last week,
and went into operation this week. The
employees in the stitching coom are wo-
men, and some claim that while they
have been making $1.25 to $175 a day,
with reduction in prices and hours of
labor, owing to any lack Of work, they
would be able to earn but a few cents
day, and would therefore have to quit.
While there has been no organized ac-
tion in the way of strike, those who are
affected state that they will not return
to work with a permanent cut in the
schedule. The matter has not yet been
formally brought to the attention of
the Central Labor Union by the Boot
and Shoe Workers Union, and until that
be done, no concerted action will be
taken

Boston, March 2.-The opera in Bos-

dreds stood through the performance

a host Of later applicants have been
unable to get tickets. The opera is to

as the star. Messrs. Damrosch and
Ellis have with some regard for art as
well as money chosen to give their
operas in Boston Theatre instead
of that utterly inadequate Mechanics
building.
Among the Worcester patrons of the
opera are Miss Burnside, Mr. and Mrs
Bassett, Walter Kennedy and c. A. Will
liams.

mittee of the legislature gave a hearing
on the bill for the protection of trailing
arbutus, commonly known as may
flowers. The bill provides a $50 fine or
twenty days Imprisonment for any
person who gathers, disturbs, or sends
away mayfiowers from any town of
which he or she is not an inhabitant.

the committee to favor the BILL and
stated that in southeastern Massachu-
setts it was common for Italians and
Portuguese to make invasions on private
lands and gather the mayflower for sale
or to send away. They not only took the
flower, but the plant on the roots as well
and their depredations were having a
sad effect on the growth of favorite
New England flower Further than this,
the petitioner stated that there. rovers
were not always observant of the law

Minneapolis and Duluth N I
785 cars, compaxe III "a ek
and 290 year 6xo ChlcnGQ feclIss
were 205 cars, III a contract 4faQe.
Buying orders at the start were very
few and far between. May opened Ac
lower at 67AQ6Issc. This price pre-
vailed for a short time until the
strength shown by the coarser grain
markets encouraged buyers and caused
a little scattered coverings by shorts.
The total amount bid for was small,
but in the most stagnant condition OF
the market was not sufficient to cause
a reaction in the May price to 675sc.
Then the market weakened again. All
outside markets were weaker than Chi
cago New York reported very slack
foreign demand AS for the foreign
demand it has been the big prop OF the
market in times of liberal receipts, re-
ports of this nature had the effect OF
contracting the speculative demand,
and prices once more clowly Slid OF,
and before 80 May had reached
67kc. The selling pressure at no time
was heavy, but there was at times an
entire absence of bids. eports of con-
tinued wet weather in the west were
accompanied by statements that winter
wheat was unprotected in many places,
and apprehensions of crop damage
caused a little more firmness for a
short time after the noon hour. But
Bradstreets' report of the worlds Wis
ible supply, showing an increase OF
$500. 900 bushels, took away what little
backbone the market Fad left and late
trading was all in favor of the bears.
May finally got down to 66N @67c, and
closed at 67@671ac.
Corn was rather quiet but steady.
The feature of the market was the
large direct export business. almost a
million bushels. This and the firm
cables and wet weather made the mar
ket very firm at times. The weakness
of wheat and the rather poor quality
of corn receipts adversely affected the
market later, and the slight advantage
was lost Receipts were 726 cars. May
ranged from 1914 @35ss to 351a @355sc.
and closed a shade lower at $40
$3.50.
Oats were fairly active and irregular.
May was firm early, helped by corn and
wet weather, but December was weak
and was offered at cent under May,
without takers. 1t was apparent the
December short interest was liquidated.
Export sales from here were liberal,
100000 bushels. Receipts were 381
cars. May ranged from 26b@265sc to
267sc, and closed &c lower at 265sc.
The market for provisions was de-
cidedly narrow. Around the opening
some uneasiness was shown, hog
prices being lower and packers show
ing a disposition to press sales The
strength of corn helped the market
some Trading was almost at a stand
still late in the dav, and prices drop
ned again, the market being heavy at
the close. Nay pork closed UNCHANGED
at 50 671a; May lard sc lower at $3.50,
and May ribs a shade lower at $3.50.
Estimated receipts Wednesday,:
Wheat, 200 cars: corn. 575 cars; oats,
255 cars; hogs, 10000 head.
