PIqued that We did not have the aTti-
cles made on the exorbitant piece-wOrk
scale our employees apparently divided
their day into so many periods as the
price of the garments they were max
ing would be contained in the amount
Of their daily compensation. This re-
gardless of the fact that the scale on
the articles in question was in some
instances at least 60 per cent higher
than paid by competitors. A fair
days work is about 80 to 40 per cent
more than done by our employees while
working on these goods.
Agrees to Take All Back.
When Mr.. Herges of the Tri-City
Labor congress was in our Office on
Sunday morning we suggested that al!
the people go back to work and We
would retain them or discharge them
as to individual merits. Those who
would accomplish a fair days work to
be retained, those who would not to be
discharged. We promised to take as q
basis of a fair days work the state
ments made by the employees before
the committee of the labor congress
as TO how much they accomplished
each day. If they really did this much
work they had nothing TO fear. if they
did not. and had misrepresented facts,
of course they would fear for their po-
sitiOn
We take the position that it is the
right of every employer to discharge
help whose efforts are not up TO the
standard Of an honest days work or #
a certain amount of work cannot be
accomplished they are incompetent and
are not entitled to the maximum
amount of compensation demanded by
the wage scale.
This proposition was not relished by
the labor leaders, as it would compel
out employees TO attend strictly to bus
mess and would cut out the imprOmptu
union meetings and conversations dur
ing working hours.
Reduction Last Resort.
Our stand of announcing the reduc-
ton of the price on several articles
on the scale was a measure of last re-
sort. as it had been impossible to set
an honest days work. as our employees
considered It a sacred duty not 10 turn |
out more work than would make the |
article cost us more on time work than !
the ridiculOusly high piece scale.
Another cause for complaint is that |
although the scale Of piece work prices |
has been raised twice our employees |
do not earn more than our employees
of two years ago. They are apparently
satisfied with earning a certain amount
and the only result of the raise in
prices has been that the capacity of
our machines has been reduced from
- to 80 per cent without any material
advantage 10 our employees.
This company is thoroughly in ac-
cord with the principles of uniOnism

employees ACT UNFAIRLY

Editor Argus In view of the fact
that an article was published in last
nights Argus stating what the alleged
grievances OF the regalia workers were
against this company, will you please
give space 70 this communication in
which the cOnpany's side Of the cOntro-
Versy is given.
In August OF this year We were con
frOnted with a revision Of the piece
work scale Of compensation which was
unjust and arbitrary inasmuch as We
were called upon 10 pay more than 9th

ing and with whom we are in direct
competition. This would not have
been done had Labor day not been near
and our employees We're aware Of the
fact that we had many orders for ban.
ners and badges for this occasion.
We had spent a great deal Of money
and time in soliciting these orders and
Of course. relying on our employees we
promised the union label 10 be on these
goods. This fact, becoming known to
our employees and several labor leaders.
served as an incentive for prompt &C
ton. The entire scale Of prices on
piece anu illllt WON WIS i'N lst-il SiIi
we were in somewhat of n quandary
when confronted b. this stand and
deliver" policy. On the one hand, We
must submit. and on the other hand
lose the orders we had secured at a
large expense.
Scale il Signed
We finally signed the scale demand
ed with the prOviso that we would be
allowed the privilege Of having the ar
ticles on which the prices were eXor-
bitant made on time-work. Knowing
that if a fair days work would be
done our employees would produce
these articles in question at lower
cost than demanded by their scale
Any fair-minded person will agree with
us that if we are paying the union
scale for time work we have a right
to demand the best efforts of our en-
plOycs. We state most emphatically
that the reverse has been the case.

At home a little golden haired girl was

How strong nobody but himself knew.

GREAT MILITARY ACTIVITY.
Women and Children Preparing to
Leave Port Arthur.

Picking, Jan. 11.-Reports from Man
churia are to the effect that there is
great military activity there. The rail-
roads are bringing troops from Rus
STA and the women and children at
Port Arthur and Newchwang are pre-
pairing to leave. The Russian general
at Newchwang has been called to Port
Arthur for service.
Every steamer for Japan is carrying
the Japanese from China who belong
to the reserves.
The Japanese censorship Of military
news gives opportunity for all kinds
of rumors here, one of which is that
japanese troops have been landed at
Fnsan, Korea.
Predictions in the native press that
q war is inevitable and immediate and
that China will certainly be involved
are causing great uneasiness. Many
Chinese fear a repetition of the scenes
Of pillage and murder which made the
year 1900 memorable.

left the mouth of the Atrato river

is believed they went to st. Andrews

assumed some shape there.

CITIZENS AND MARINES FIGHT.
Two Men Fatally Cut in a General
Mix Up,

Norfolk, Va, Jan. 11.-As a result
Of a fight between citizens and ma
rines at the Portsmouth ferry dock
Lawson Cuddy and Joseph Flynn are
in a hospital fatally cut, and Robert
Dadden, Benjamin Marks, Frank Ben
edict and Joe Donahue, marines, are
held by the police pending the results
Of the wounded mems injuries.
More serious trouble was averted
by a large detachment of police charg-
ing the ferryhouse and fighting their
way through the combatants to stop
a squad of marines on an incoming
ferryboat from landing. The cause of
the fight, which was participated in by
fifty citizens and marines, is not
known. One of the marines, during
the charge of the police, drew a razor
and began slashing right and left. A
riot call for police brought additional
police, who were able to stop the fight.
