YACHTING ON THE DESERT.

their twenty-three knots an hour for days
together, but what do you think OF q yacht

SITUATION At MARION.


The situation at Marion is watched with
the keenest interest by working people of
this city-the machinists in particular. as
they are directly concerned. +. j. Collins,
business agent for the machinists, has
made many trips to Marion on behalf of his
organization and has held several confer
ences with Mr.. Gemmer. Mr.. Collins said
yesterday: 81 believe our men will win in
the end. They can only be defeated by
capital and it will take long time for that
to whip us. The trouble is tending to draw
Us closer together and making us see more
clearly the need of the affiiation of the To-
Gals. / do not believe unionsm can be
broken from without. If it ever comes it
will come from within. All this agitation
of Mr. Parry only makes us stand more
closely by one another.
1.-The cause of the Marion trouble reverts
to Mr.. Parry's influence among the en-
ployers TO fight the labor organizations.
The relations between the employers and
the employees of the Gemmer factory was
most amiable until the Parry movement
was started When the yearly contract
was about TO expire between the machin-
lists and Mr.. Gemmer. the men went to him
and asked that 1t be renewed. He put
them Off refusing TO sign an agreement,
until finally the men sent for me and
went to Marion and held conference with
Mr.. Gemmer I'm which he said he was salts
fled with the wages he was paying and the
hours the men were working, but he re-
fused to resign the scale. After / told
him that We would let him run an open
shop, If that was what he wanted he
still refused and said he wanted to be able
to work the men any hours he pleased.
told him he would never work our men
that way. and he won't. No man wants to
work without some understanding with his
employers.
THE Gemmer shop is now fun of un-
skilled laborers who are paid more wages
than our men received and are catered to
i'm a manner that we never were Our men
will never go back TO work now with any
scabs. They offered to let il be an open
shop and it was not accepted. Now they
will demand their scale and a union shop
Word has been sent throughout the In
ternational Union to beware of the Gem
mer factory, and il has been placed on the
unfair list. 1t will suffer much as all
union shops will refuse to trade with 1t and
all skilled machinists will shun it.
THE men expect to leave two pickets at
the Marion shop and then hunt work else
where. They will have trouble in find
ing other employment. as this is the best
season we have ever had. About fifteen ma
chinists were thrown out of work by the
strike. but now all the union men i'm the
factory have stopped working. As far as
the union men are concerned IL will be a
long battle, as they do not intend TO bend
To the manufacturers.
