Warrant Advance.

The situation OF the machinists en-

business conditions improved in a suffi-
cient degree TO warrant such step.
LAS matter OF fact, however, our bus
mess has not increased; we are not doing
as much business az we did last June.
There is no trouble with our men so
far as we know, at least we have not
heard OF any.

machinists, Mr.. Rice. In consequence OF
their failure 10 get the desierd increase!

the men no good.
1--WE have done all we could for our
men and 1 think you will md that there
Is no shop I'm the city that treats the men
better than We do.
I'VE have fixed the wages OF our men
as high as we feel that We can anord
TO do under present conditions. Compe-
tition, you know, is very close, and our
profits are not what they once were.
Suppose your bosiness does increase
In the near future, Mr.. Rice, will you
not be able 10 grant the increase them
was asked
II can't say as TO that" he replied,
that belongs 10 the future. you know.
While the Providence Engineering COM
pany sees no ause for alarm in the pres
ent condition OF affairs at their shops, and
declare that there Is apparently no dis
satisfaction among the men, Mr.. Moore.
the business agent OF the Machinists'
union still strenuously declares that
there is the greatest discomfort among
them.
'Of course, there is no thought OF n
strike now" he said, ''for we shall give
that shop all the time and fairness
necessary, but / can tell YOU that the
Providence Engineering company Will
build no engines after certain time II
they hold out against us.
I'm the course of about three months
we shall present our grievances before
that company, and we shall also ask for
other concessions II they don't grant
them we shall strike. and that's all
there is to IT,"
Mr. Moore reiterated his former state
ment that a strike would be the very
last resort" but maintained that they
asked for only what was just and right,
and as such were determined 10 win.
In the meantime interested friends OF
both sides await the outcome of the
situation.
