STRIKE IN GENERAL ELECTRIC
Unlen Demands Reinstatement u . Man
Discharged for Inenlcfenoy.

SCHENECTADY, May ls.-Because one OF
their number was discharged on Saturday
200 Of the members OF the Punch Press
Operators Union employed in the Cen
eral Electric works quit this morning.
The union had demanded Of the foreman
OF the department, Mr.. Christie, that the
discharged employee be reinstated. He
refused to grant the demand. The officers
OF the company uphold the action Of the
foreman and say that the demand will not
be granted. One Of the most prominent
officers said this morning that the company
would never yield to the demand OF the
union. The man, he said, was discharged
for inefficiency, after being watched for
several weeks by the foreman and one OF
the Office force. He was hired to operate
one Of the japanning rolls which labor
consists Of simply feeding the machine with
metal disks.
-The man was not a punch press operator
at all, the officer continued. why the
skilled employees OF the department should
take up the fight Of an unskilled man and
thereby force themselves out Of work IL

say that he Is efficient they practically assert
that We don't know our business"

James l.. Kernochan and j. Clinch Smith.
The latter four were opponents against
the first four named and the game was at

to make the eighth, when an avalanche OF
horses came down on them.
With whoop and warcry, the tenders
from Texas, Wyoming and New Mexico
gathered their ropes and started in pursuit.
Patrick Jones' the veteran trainer, caught
the first pony, and Charlie Thornberg got
the next, amid the cheers of the women
who had been drinking tea under the grand
stand. After the ponies had been all roped
it was dark. The clubmen are tonight
