ELECTRICAL WORKERS sTRIKI
Manager Graham Gives the Conn
pmny's Side of the Case.

Manager Graham Gives the Conn
pnny's Side of the Case.
The conditions of the strike declared
against the National Electrical Supply
Company by the local union of electrical
workers remains practically unchanged
today. No further conference has been
held by the two parties.
A statement has been issued by the Ma
tionaI Electrical Supply Company. giving
its aspect of the disagreement from its
point of view. F. c. Graham, manager,
said this morning that of the eighteen men
who had gone out. fifteen had been re-
placed, but that the receipts of new busi-
ness since the inauguration of the trou-
bic provided work for an additional force
Referring TO the statement issued by the
company, he said:
In February, 1895, an anicable agree
ment with the electrical workers was
reached by which we agreed to pay SO a
day, on basis OF eight hours. We agreed
to employ no jcurneymen wiremen other
than members Of the union. Helpers were
not required to be members OF the union.
but not more than three helpers to FIVE
journeymen were to be allowed to work.
These conditions have been faithfully car
ried out by this company
The facts of the disagreement with the
workers are these: We had a contract
at Fort Washington, Md, upon which
work was called foT Immediately. This is
conceded by other trades unions TO be
without the jurisdiction of local labor or
ganizations. Circumstances were such
that we were unable TO send any of our
journeymen, owing TO other work from
which they could not be spared. The
work was therefore started by one of our
skilled helpers. Our intention was TO Te-
place him with a journeyman at the ear
liest opportune moment. This was done
with no motive to iniure union labor. an6
with no benefit to ourselves.
"A committee from the workers advised
US that the contract was considered with
in their Jurisdiction, and demanded that
the job be placed under a union MAJ.
We agreed TO this, stating that We SO pro-
posed to do when the first capable man
would be available, in about three days
| The committee next demanded that we
remove the helper who then engaged
at the work. We assented 10 this. and
agreed that he should be laid off until the
arrival of the journeyman- The commit
tee then insisted that this helper should
be removed from the Job at Fort Wash
| ington. We then proposed TO the COM
/ mittee counter -proposition-that the
matter in dispute should be referred TO
| arbitration. We received the reply that
upon the unions demands being complied
| with, 1t would consent to arbitrate. This
we in turn refused to accept.
I'VE have conceded the union svery
possible demand. We have been Con1pell-
ed to employ non-union men IN self-de-
fence The men who are employed by us
will be retained IN position where compe-
tent We are paying skilled workmen the
same rate as to the union journeynen.
New conditions must obtain when the
union men desire TO return to work"

tions the tendency is said to be toward
longer guns with a higher velocity aDd
