Barberton, April 3O.--General inter
est Is centere1 in the question as to
whether the Stirling company will
grant the moulders and members Of the
American Federation of Labor tl/e ad.
vance In wages they ask for or wheth.
er a strike will ensue. One or the
other will occur tomorrow morning.
The moulders at present receive
$500, S2.To and S2.s5 per day. They
want the scale changed so that those
who receive S2,85 and $40 will get
$2.75, and those who get $2.S5 will re.
ceive $500 per day. This is not con-
sldered unreasonable, and II is believed
that the company will accede to their
wishes. Where the trouble will most
likely come In Is with the American
Federation Of Labor. 1t is stated on
good authority that some members OF
the Federation want increases OF from
10 to 20 per cent. The boiler makers
and blacksmiths are not asking for q
raise.
