The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1901-05-21


the Pusey 4 Jones Company were in
itiated as members Of the Wilmington
Lodge. This practically makes that
company n union shop. Before last nigh.
it had been considered Il nonunion shop.
Five machinists were initiated men,
bers of the new Delaware Lodge of Ma
chinists last night.
Ihe machinists have been offered three
different halls to meet in during the
strike as follows: Turn Hall, Eighth and
French streets; Daniel Bubenzer, Front
and West streets and the hall over
Central National Bank, Fifth and Ship
ley streets. The machlnists at the meet
ing expressed their thanks to all persons
for their consideration and kindness to
them in their efforts for shorter work
ing day.
There seems to be some misunderstood
ing in regard to the situation at the
Belts Machine Company. 1t has been
reported the machinists employed by
that company would agree to 56 hour
week. 1t was stated last night that the
shop was almost solid union shop and
that the menswould agree to nothing but
nine hour day. "a hours a week.
There was not single application for
work at any of the local shops yester-
day. The machinists state that they ex-
pect no trouble from that source. Pick
cts at the J. Morton Poole Company
and the Harlan & Hollingsworth Com
pany caught several men attempting to
go into work yesterday. The sentinels
after arguing the question with them
succeeded in getting them to change their
