LATEERS VANT MORE PAY.
A Few Left Work To-day To
 Await Employers Decision.

The Amount of Increase Asked is Only
 Trivial to the Bosses, But Means
 Much to the Men First Tilt Between
 Capital and Labor Since the Big Fire.
 The fathers are on strike and are determined to make Il big fight to get something more substantial from the bosses than they have been receiving before driving another nail. This action was decided upon at an import ant meeting held at the headquarters of the Mixologist club last night. Ten of the men are out to-day and it is understood that the rest of them will quit tomorrow unless their demands are agreed to. The men want Il half cent increase for lathing. which would make S1S5 q thousand instead of S1.60. Some of the bosses would consent to make the price S1.S0 per thousand, but the men would not take mill less than what they had decided upon at the meeting. The men who talked with d reporter of the Democrat today claim ed that they had been working for Dnffney, Brownlee and Blodget They Said that things had hardly reached a fpint where it could be called . strike, beause this is the first day they had
 aslad for the increase. but that if the
 pric6 should not be given them they
 WereA determined to try conclusions
 with Ne bosses. They represented That th&r is money enough i'll the busi- ness to Warrant the increase and that they sawno justice in their hammering away at low prices for their labor while their employees were making big money l This is the first tilt between capital and labor that has occurred in Water bury this season and the outcome of siderable interest, not only by tlle lnioH l men, but every man in the community
