Two Strikes Averted.

The miners at the Owosso Coal Com.
pany's mine formerly worked on what
is known technically as "scale" in
work on all extensions of the entries
or galleries but this arrangement Of
fered considerable chance for disagree
ment as it involved the careful measure
ment of the depth of the rock which
had to be excavated below the vein
of coal in order to make passage
way into which the cars could be run,
and few months ago simpler special
agreement proposed by the company
and accepted by the men was put into
successful operation. This new plan
went smoothly until Tuesday when the
men concluded they wanted the old plan
back again and they would probably
have gone out on a strike if the COM
pany had not readily acquiesced in their
demands which simply meant some add
ed bother for both company and men.
In consequence they were supposed to be
working on the old scale again for the
balance of Tuesday and for part of
the day on Wednesday. By that time
the men had had time to think the mat.
ter over again and concluded that the
old scale wasn't all 1t seemed to them
the day before and Of their own accord
they went to the company and asked
to have the more recent arrangement
restored again. They did not have to
strike to get it restored but the whole
illustrates in fitting way the trivial
causes which often-not always-lead
to strikes and lock outs. The manage
ment of the mine showed good tact, and
the best Of feeling prevails between men
and employers, a thing especially impor.
taht just now when the company is on
the verge of greatly increasing its out
put and consequently its force of
miners.

THE OWOSSO TIMES.
EDMUND o. DEWEY. EDITOR.
Owosso. MICH. FRIDAY. OCT. 90. 1899.
THE TIMES wishes to congratulate

THE TIMES wishes to congratulate
Owosso republicans and other citizens
who did SO much last week to help en-.
terrain the republican editors of the
state. Those who served on commit
tees, who furnished carriages, and
every citizen who by his early purchase
OF ticket or by his promise to do so,
helped ensure the carrying out of the
plans Of the banquet, are each and all
entitled to share in the commentator
which continues to come in from every
quarter. The same is true also of
numerous friends about the county who
were wide awake to the truest interests
of their party andwene untiringi in their
efforts to bring good delegations from
their localities. To eachland every one
who assisted in any way a. part in the
credit of entertaining the visiting edit
ors belong, and they also share in the
honor of having secured the talented
array of distinguished orators who adj
dressed the banqueters on Wednesday
evening of last week. There were no
back numbers on the program. Not
only was every number filled by an
orator of more than local or state repu.
tation, but every one was filled by a
man who is among the very most active
OF men in public life today. While
there were state officials, congressman,
q United States senator, and others on
the program, there was not a man on
the list who needed to have his official
title announced in order to command
attention for him. There was not one
for whom the future does not promise
an even greater degree of success and
usefulness than the past and present
have contained and still contain for
them. Many visitors have done the
speakers the honor of saying that no
finer array of republican oratorical tai.
emit has ever appeared before Michi-
gan audience in a single evening. Lest
this should seem like Boosting, on the
part OF the local committee, The TIMES
will pass that point, and yet it does con-
graduate every one who had anything
to do with the success of the banquet,
and extends as well its congratulations
and the thanks of all to the ELOQUENT
statesmen who SO favored the city with
their time and presence last week Wed.

many people who looked wise and said
that Owosso had begun to slip back
wards and would never pull herself to-
gether for further advances. The pres
eDt instance however proves that the
same courage and bold public spirit
which in the past laid the foundations
for what Owosso is today, is still in the
city's bosom and proves that she is still
determined to improve and grow.
There is a possibility of seeing still an
other factory and as long as there is ever
a possibility of doing so there should
be nothing left undone which will bring
it here. 1t costs to get such things but
they are well worth something when
they are got.

Owosso Advancing Again

The action of the council Tuesday
evening in voting the sum of seven
thousand dollars to the Owosso Car
rage Co, in accordance with the com.
promise effected between the committee
OF the council and one from the COM
pany means much to the city of Owosso.
1t means that once more she has begun
to make an advance along the line
which all her success, or much of her
success, and her growth has been won.
Constructing pavements, sewers and
bridges is all very well and makes a
wonderful Improvement in the city but
the money thus spent must be paid by
those who live here and enjoy them,
without the assistance of others except
those who are attracted to the city be-
cause of such advantages, but when the
city spends seven thousand dollars as a

and put in operation it can see where
it is going to get help in paying the
money and even going to get its money

ploy at least one hundred fifty men and
may reasonably be expected to employ
many more as all who are acquainted
with the hustling character of its man.
ayers will readily admit. But even at
the bottom figure the move means an
increase of about eighty or ninety car
rage makers. many of them men with
families, who will be added to the city's
population.
1t should be borne in mind that this
is the first real effective move to secure
any such increase in the manufacturing
interests in the city since the city met
with two severe losses. When the loss
of the Estey Carriage Coz plant was
succeeded by the loss of the Woodland
Furniture Works and months passed
without any offerc of assistance and

made only to be declined, there we're
