A New List of Rates Submitted BY
Leather Workers Last Night,
Harness Makers at Rehkopfs Walk Out
The Collar Shop Shut
Down.
DEMANDS or The UNION MEN

Many members of the leather work
ers of Paducah are idle today, as re-
suit Of walk out at the Rehkopf Sad
dlery Company. In all over 100 are
not at work.
The union leather workers have
made demand on the Rehkopf COM
pany, Michael Bros. and the Paducah
Saddle company for uniform price
on all piece work, that the firms en-
ploye only one apprentice boy to every
seven journoymen, and that all girls
in the shops be discharged.
There are few girls employed a:
present, but there are about three
boys to every seven journeyumen, and
this is considered too many by the
journeymen who make the demands.
Last night committee waited on
all the proprietors but no satisfactory
answer was given them, the proprie-
tors saying thata they would answer
at their leisure. The employees of the
Rehkopf harness department, about
fifty total. walked out last night and
refused to return to work this
morning, and held meeting this
morning to further discuss the rates
arranged, and the general situation.
Last night Mr.. Rehkopf closed down
the collar shops on Court street,
saying that he had a full stock of
collars and that the shops would re-
main closed indefinitely. This, it
seems, does not suit the harness max
ers, some of them are in favor Of q
walk out in sympathy with the col
lar. makers. There are about fifty live
out in this department;
Michael Bros. employee only two
girls and say that the demands made
on them will amount TO little, but the
proprietors talk as if they will accept
the new rates. The men are all paid
by the piece, each piece having GER
tain price, but in none Of the shops
are the prices uniform. This is the
principal bone of contention.
Mr.. Rehkopf does not seem to be in
the least concerned about the situation
and informed a reporter this morning
that he did not care TO tails, but would
say that he gave the matter little
thought
The men in the Michael and Padu-
cab Saddle shops still were at work
this morning. The increase in the
price will amount to about 10 cents
on every set of harness, V is claimed
by the workers.
A full list of the newly arranged
prices was prepared by the men at
meeting this morning and the answer
of the proprietors is awaited with in
terest. This is the first real serious
trouble in Paducah between leather
workers and proprietors.
IL is understood this afternoon that
Michael Brothers and the Paducah
Saddle company have agreed TO sign
the new scale as soon as it is prepared,
and another effort will be made to in
duce the RehKopf company to sigr
this afternoon.
