The Shoe Factory

| viii Start UP To-Day with Fun Crew
The strike in Sibey, Critchett & Co.'S shoe
factory is settled. Friday evening the firm
sent out circular letter, explanatory of the
stand they have taken, and in which they
say:
| We can, if you prefer, restore former
| prices run out what orders we have, and shut
down but it seems to US wiser on your part
you at least who wish to continue living in
Belfast, that you assist in putting us into a
position where we can give you the largest
| amount Of employment, even if your daily
earnings are little less than they have
been. And you whose piece price or daily
wages have not been materially reduced,
| lnust be strongly in favor of this latter
| course.
| Should large or small number of our
employees think it their best individual pol
| icy to return to their jobs at the new prices
pending any adjustment of inequalities, and
others think it is not good business Judging
for themselves, so to return, we hope and
| trust that the latter nor any of them, will
try to stand in the way of the former by in
timidation. rowdyish remarks or other acts.
Let the good reputation of our employees for
order, kindly consideration of one another,
and polite conduct be sustained and vindi-
| Gated at this time.
We will start up our factory next Mon
udy luOi hiHS IL d SulIClcHb uuLlDGT Vi our
employees to make it an object signify their
willingness to go to WORK at the new prices.
We will work with you and push the bust
ness to procure for you the largest possible
amount of employment. Will you, person
ally, before that time, please let us know,
either to the prOprietors or your foreman,
what you will do.
If the larger part of our employees resume
their jobs under these terms we will at the
end of this sale make known TO a committee
from your ranks the result obtained from
la Dor reductions, and if in our Judgment and
theirs the prices can then be advanced, we
will do 80 by scale mutually arranged be
tween us.
The employees in a meeting that evening
decided not to accept either Of the plans
proposed. A scale of prices prepared
by the workmen and presented to the firm,
which was substantially the scale in force
prior to July 81, with slight changes in
individual cases. There We're few, if any,
changes in the wages of the lasters. The
cutters and the employees in the sole-laather
room and basement We're not affected by the
reduction, and most of the hands in those
departments remained as long az there was
work for them that could be done without
dsarranging the general work of the factory.
Monday morning the machinery was
started with the hands who remained and
some outside help, but the majority remain
ed out,
Tuesday nearly all hands had made salts

Still remained to be ad iusted. Wednesday the
number was gradually reduced, and when
The Journal went TO press at o'clock in
the afternoon, the committee and members
OF the firm had arranged a settlement and
stated that the factory would start up with
full crew Thursday morning.

to the growth of that order;
''We are making heavy gains all along the

over two hundred members in the last six
months and there is an encouraging fatness
to the wampum belt.
Il am just in receipt of advces from the

enormous. There are four reservations
which show a net gain of seven thousand

of the hard times here in Maine, and we are
getting the good times last of all, and pre-
sumo that the boom of the Red Men will

In response to a request from
United States Marshal J Z. Brady
of Indian Territory, for legal in
formation as to whether he would
pay the salary of field deputy mar
shal whose appointment did not
come through the civil service, al
though such office was within the
classified list, the comptroller of
the treasury has handed down a
decision which practically nullifies
the whole civil service law. He
holds in the decision that all APP
pOintments to positions in the de-
partment at Washington and fed
eral positions throughout the coun-
try can be made regardless of the
civil service rules and regulations.
The decision is a sweeping one, as
it means that all deputy marshals
throughout the United States will
be appointed hereafter without re-
gard and recourse to the civil SER
vice and examinations as to their
fitness.
