in his sweat shop on the other side
and his union shop on this side is ex-
actly the difference in the value
of the money. For instance, for a
garment for making which | received
IS in American money, on this side, |
would receive IS in Mexican money on
the other side, less than half L re-
ceived on this side. l wish to again
say that Mr.. Brunner's statement is
false and misleading.''
We made the uniforms for and fire.
men merely to keep peace in the Brun-
ner tailor shop, as in the first place it
is not customary for tailoring shops to
take contract work and this is the way
the uniforms were taken by Mr.. Brun-
ner.
AS regards the uniforms of tbs Mex
lean Central conductors, Mr.. Brunner
said that he would like to make them
at a cheap price in order to get the
balance of their trade, which would be
taken at regular prices. He said we
would be doing him a great favor to
make them at a reduced price and we
did.
According to Mr.. Brunner's state
ment he waited five months on us after
he first presented us with the scale.
This is entirely wrong. We were first
notified of the proposed reduction on
VIC -o0u unS VI WSTG iOCheu
out on 3lst day OF August, little over
month.
If we allowed Mr.. Drummer the use
of one or two cheap men now it would
be only a comparatively short time I'M
til he would make request for two
more cheap men and then two more
and eventually it would be as it is now.
all cheap men.
Again, Mr.. Brunner says that he told
US he would send some of the garments
out TO be made aud pay US union prices
for what would be made in the store
This is untrue. He never told US he
was taking work on the outside to be
made. We discovered this fact our
selves. When he wanted anything
made at the cheap shops he sent it out
without our knowledge. and while he
was sending these suits out we were
working on half time.
About asking for a reduction in
their prices says Mr.. Drummer, 81
did ask them for reduction And
right below he says: 'This strike is
not on account of a reduction in prices,
as claimed There must be mistake
here also. The strike was on account
OF d reduction, as we have already
shown, and an unreasonably large re-
duction at that.
Mr.. Drummer states that he has
eight NTH at work at present. This is
another evidence that he has handled
the truth very recklessly, from the
fact that he has only three working in
his own shop and two in Scblinger's
sweat shop Oh San Antonio street.
Now, these are facts, and If Mr. Bruu-
ner displays the slightest regard for
the truth he cannot deny them. As
we showed in our statement of last |
week, we have been on Mr.. Brunner's
grind-stone ever since 1890, and he has |
been very busy turning the crank |
We used every honorable means to |
overcome the present difficulty, but |
our efforts proved fruitless, and we |
we're forced to do as we did.
