Settled.

The state labor department settled
a complaint that arose between the
ConeyYille Vitrified Brick company
and it's m en- last week. Several men

Suspicion that a fight was being
made on the union and the discomfort
over it came to a climax when two en-
ploYes named Miller and Branch were
let out. They say they were ordered
off the premises when they asked for
a written discharge
Assistant Labor Commissioner Scott
was down the other day and secured
the reinstatement Of the men, thus
avoiding a possible strike Prepare

pany under the 1897 Law for coercion
and refusing to give q letter of dis
charge. The suits were avoided by
compromise The men learned finally
that they had been discharged for get
