WHY They
STRUCK
The Employees Of Theodore
Smith Sons Give Their
Side Of the Con-
troversy.
ASKED A MINIMUM OF So
Firms Committee Refused
the Demand and the Men
Went Out.


The machinists and others who struck
while at work at Theodore Smith Sons
boiler works eight weeks ago, because
he would not adopt a minimum wage
scale, declare that his statement pub
lished few days ago concerning his
troubles with union workmen are not
fair.
One of the strikers said this morning:
'.A1r Smith says thatth union insist
ed that the men who were getting So.
day for their work would have their
pay reduced to So day, and Mr.. Smith
says also that the walking delegate asked
him what objections he had to reducing
mans wage Now, this is humbug.
Does any sane man believe that his men
have been on strike for nine weeks at
the call of the walking delegate because
they wanted their wages cut down
What philanthropist he is. Is he the
Moses that the men have been looking for
for years? Behold one man who says
wages shall not be cut down. What a
picture does he cut of modern saint and
deliyerer who flies to the rescue of down
trodden mani
"Our demands were presented to the
walking delegate of Mr.. Smiths Associa-
ton to be considered by their association
and at the request of their walking dele
gate committee of our association met
committee of their association, and Mr..
Smith was one of their committee and
our modest request was refused. There
WAS nothing then left for-us to do but
strike. All we asked for was a mini
mum rate of SO day and a five per cent
advance for those getting So or more.
Mr.. Smith deliberately makes a mis-
statement when he says we asked that
the man who got S3.75 day should be
cut down 70. SO. He would be only too
happy to- accede to any request to cut
wages, and as for paying any machinist
any such wages as $3.75 why let anybody
ask his men who are on strike how>nuch
money he paid his men and if they are
getting the $3.75 that he says they are,
they would be ordered back tomorrow.
We promise now that # Nf. Smith wants
to pay $3.75 to his man that the strike
will be called off Immediately.
S"Again Mr. Smith talks about getting
out an injunction. For what? To pre-
vent his men from accepting So day
as wage scale instead of $3.75. Hum
bug!''
Mr.. Smiths talk about getting out an
injunction was in regard to strikes fol
lowing after work hours men employed
at Ais place and arguing with them
against accepting present conditions and
as he says, thus annoying the men.
