the Kilbourn Knitting Machine
Company, which was thought
to have come to an end when
the strikers returned to work
Monday morning pending a
settlement of the trouble with
the management, was renewed
Tuesday, when practically
all the workers in the mills put
aside their tasks and walked
out in a body, declaring that
they would not return until a
definite and satisfactory agrees
ment had been reached with
their employers.
This action on the part of the
employees came as a surprise,
and is claimed by them to have
been brought about by a refusal
of the management to give a
definite reply to the statement,
or questions, submitted this
morning by the strikers, which
statement contained a list of
grievances which, they say, they
wish adjusted before they will
return to work.
All those who took part in
the strike on Friday morning
came out, and in addition they
were joined by many more who
had remained at work at the
solicitation of one or two of the
bosses. Not all are out, how~
ever, as there are probably
about 25 workers out of about
800 who remained in the build
ings. 1t is almost certain that
all opertions will be at least
temporarily suspended at the
mills.
WHAT THE STRIKERS SAY.
A representative of The
Herald interviewed several
members of the strikers griev-
ance committee, and the latter
submitted statement for pub
location. They say the second
walk-out was caused by the re-
fusal of Mr. Kilbourn to answer
the questions contained in the
statement, submitted this morn.
ing by the committee. The ma
ture of this statement. or the
questions contained therein, the
strikers We're unwilling to dis
vulge at this time. They stated,
however, that the cause of the
trouble is the employment and
retention of the six Hungarian
women in the mill, and the fear
that it is the intention of the
managers to gradually replace
the Martinsburg workers with
imported foreign labor.
So firmly convinced are the
strikers of this that they are
not willing to return to work
until this very important ques.
ton is settled in a manner
which will leave no doubt of
the intention of the managers.
The committee also stated
that the strikers are firm in
their intention not to return to

rian labor now in its emnlov for the
following reasons:
az This company has been short Of
help during its busy periods for each
of the last five years and has pot been
able to secure extra help of a satisfac.
tory quality sufficient to meet its de-
mands, and as a result has Suffered
considerable pecurinary loss.
(b) Before attempting to introduce
foreign Eelp to supply the company's
requirments every means at hsnd was
exhausted in efforts tic obtain local
help.
(c) The foreigners in our employ
are conceded by the strikers to be
clean. industrious and thoroughly IN.
objectionable.
Tie urgent need of help to meet the
coming needs of the company has
brought the MANAGEMENT face to face
with three distinct propositions.
% Employ all local help we can
yet supplemented with such foreign
labor as We need but DO more.
(2) If local labor refuses to work
along with foreign labor. we must
then employ foreign labor entirely.
and
CD 1t necessary to solve the labor
question remove the plant to one of
the three locations which have made
strong inducements for such change
of location.
One of the above propositions will
surely be carried out.
Answer to question 2-This company
will never agree to employ an, partic-
ular class or nationality of labor to
the exclusion of ali others; but will
show preference only according to the
individual ability and capacity of the
applicant in each instance.
We reserve without restriction the
right of choice as to whom we will not
employ.
Answer to question 3-We will if
they return at once and continue the
peaceable pursuit of their occupation,
Answer to question I've are willing
to show no prejudice or partially be-
tween employees who remain as
against those who have quit-upon
condition only that they now con-
tinue without further interruption.
Answer to question 5-Your remedy
against such charges does not
lie in the form in which you
present it. The grievance is not sup
ported by the facts you present.
While this company if appealed to
will always give due consideration to
such complaints, it cannot agree to
answer for the language of its several
hundred employees, with the excep-
ton of the three you mention as being
the only ones that always use appro.
pirate language.
Answer to question 6. -Superntend-
ent agrees to hear any grievance at
any time and to give such fair con-
sIderation.
In addition to answers to
questions the management
stated that it was the intention
of the company to employ
foreign labor as far as it may be
found necessary in supplement.
ing local labor, but no further,
using all available local labor
at the same time.
