NO TROUBLE.
Rice & Hutchins Continue
Business at the New Stand.

Any question there may have been
in the minds of the union shoe workers
of Worcester regarding whether they
might work in the Rice & Hutchns
factory without going against the pre-
cepts of the union, was answered yes
terday in the telegram from ]. D..
Pierce, president of the State Fedora
ton of Labor 1t was very short and
said: Most assuredly not. ]. D.
Pierce"
That settles that question Whether
any of the local union has applied for
work in this factory is not known to
some of the most prominent of the
Worcester shoe workers, nor to the
management of the factory. When an
application for work is made there, it
is not asked if the applicant is union
or non-union workman. All they ask
is that he can do the work. There are
no pickets from the local union placed
near the factory to watch the opera
tives as they arrive at and leave the
building, though some of the members
think that such pickets should be
placed, as the Marlboro union has
done.
At the noon hour and at shutting
down time in the evening, men singly
and in twos and threas are seen stand
ing around the factory scanning each
face closely as the workers pass out
A policeman has been stationed near
the door to prevent any possible dis
turbance, though up to the present the
Marlboro pickets have shown no desire
to modest any Of the employees of the
factory.
The management says that applica-
tons for work are still coming in rap
idly and that at present all the de-
partments are full The lasters will
begin work in about two weeks, and
the management anticipates but little
if any trouble at that time. The Las
ters' Union is the strongest shoe work
ers' union in Worcester, and it is
thought that they m ~ give some trou-
BILE. No plans of action have been for
mulated by this union up to the pres
ent, however, as they feel it best to
act in accord with the Marlboro union
if any action is to be taken.
1t is said that Rice & Hutchins are
willing to talk the matter over with
State President Pierce when he re-
turns to the city. The union men feel
that if this is true, it must mean a
Willingness on the part Of the manu-
facturerS to try to come to an agree
ment with the strikers. John H. Muir
ry, the engineer of the strike, has not
been able to arrive at anything like
the shadow of a settlement, and it is
felt by some that Mr. Pierce, if he
will take hand in the affair, may be
able to discover some method to bring
about a settlement.
