ANDERSON, Ind. July 29.-Notices
have been posted in the local plant Of
the American Tin Plate Company that
the factory would be closed down he
latter part Of this week for an in

They believe that It Is an in7ue nce
which the company is bringing TO tear
TO force them TO accept the proposition
There are others, however, who claim
to have positive evidence that two larsl
warehouses in Pitt sbuTg are crowded and
that the shutdown is to last until this
stock is gone. It is the custom 10 SHUT
down the mills fer a short time during
the summer months. but at the first Of
this season the men were given to IN
deTstand that the mills would run right
through the season.
There viii probably be another meet

days for the purpose OF taking another
vote on the proposition to reduce wages.
The men have not changed their minds
relative TO the matter. and il is believed
that another vote viii come no nearer

men do not like the action OF Pre5id mt

say that should ne come 20 Anderson he
