1900 MEN ON A STRIKE.
Deslogs and National Works Close
Down In Disagreement Over
the Eight.hour Law.


A strike, involving 1900 men, is
now on ut the National and Des-
loge Lead Works. The National
employs ESQ men and Desloge
$50, making IA total of 1900 men
idle II is a deplorable state of af-
fairs, the blame of which is to be
fixed by Judging public.
The direct course Of the shut
down at the National was the ac.
ton Of the company in placing a
new non-union man on the lead
wheeling line, to take the place of
an old employe, who was sent to
the crusher. The crusher feeding
is light pay and hard work. j. I'll.
Hart, good man and hard worker
was reduced from 81 % to Sl.3j
and green hand took his place.
This action was taken by the union
men as meaning that the National
company intended to replace the
union men with "scabs." This
caused the firemen to quit, and
close down the works. Other
things leading up to the strike
were reduction of the force and II
sweeping cut in wages. The EN-
ployes of the National have more
grievances, it seems. than those of
any company in the Valley.
The trouble at Desloge is pecul.
lar. A few rash union men acted
unwisely, insomuch that on Satur-
day last Mr.. Desloge agreed with
the Union that he would come to
terms. The settlement of the diff.
ficulties for the present was eff.
fected, and Monday morning was
the time agreed upon to begin
work. On Monday morning the
men came in, but at No. 3 shaft
s. s. Rusner. II laborer, caused the
trouble. Rusner is considered to
be II scnb. r" He went down,
aud this enraged few disaffected
union men. These enraged union
men ordered the Hungarians to
come out. The Hungarians obeyed
and the shaft was closed. Nearly
all of Desloge's rock came from
No. >, so the stop at the shaft prac-
tcally closed the works.
On Tuesday morning the men all
reported for work, because Rusner
had disappeared and no further
grievance existed in that way.
Now, Mr.. Desloge has become
stubborn, and he wishes to remain
closed, because he thinks it will
punish the agitators and warn the
passive members. The fact is,
both sides are to blame at Desloge.
