PAINTERS OUT
Harlan & Hollingsworth
Company in More
Trouble.

Ian Il HOllingsworth Company's stant
against the machinsts? That is cues
ton which is now being asked all ovel
the city. This plant is becoming NOR,
and more crippled every day. If thu
demand Is not soon conceded the entire
plant will probably be tied up. The
painters went out yesterday The mould
ers, pattern makers and blacksmiths will
go out as soon as an attempt is made tC
secure scab labor.
Painters employed in the shipyards OF
the Harlan 4 Hollingsworth Company
went out on strike at noon yesterday
They will stand on the same as machin-
lists, nine hour day with ten hours
pay. Forty-one of the painters went ont
taking their tools with them. This
leaves but four painters in that depart
ment. No demands were made on the
four men by the painters as they were
thought to be to old to 20 out.
All of the striking painters are mem
bers of the CAR and Ship Painters Pro-
tective Association. The committee an
pointed by the association was refused
an audience by members Of the firm as
representing the union. but would be
granted hearing as individuals The
answer not being satisfactory the men
went out.
The boat yard painters before going out
held conference with the painters in
the car shops. 1t was agreed by the
latter not to touch any work pertaining
to ship building. If required to do so
they will'also strike.
REFTTSED To NVnDE an SrAD 1oD
misunderstanding in the pattern shop
or the Harlan d Hollingsworth Company
yesterday nearly resulted in all the pat-
ternmakers going out. One Of the men
was given new piece of work which he
thought was scab job. After con-
ference with the foreman he decided
that he would not do the job. The fore
man then replied that If he refused to
do it he could get his time. To this the
pattrrn-makcr. consented and started TO-
ward the forcman's desk for that pur-
pose. Every pattern maker in the shop
then walked over and also requested their
time. The foreman seeing that things
were looking serious said that there must
be a misunderstanding. The draughsman
VINO got out the drawing for the Job
was sent for. After an investigation it
was found that it was not a scab lob,
but some new work. The pattern-maker
who first refused to do the work was
under the impression that it was
scheme whereby the drill prcssmcn could
do some of the maclinists' work, Mat
ters were soon adjusted and all the men
returned to work,
