Grnnell, Feb. 1S.-The rumor that
there was strike at the Morrison.
Mcintosh SEQ. glove factory in this
city. when rum down. proves to be
practically unfounded. A few table
cutters" have been employed here for
several years past working on the fin
est imported stock. Some five years
ago Il strike occurred at Gloversville
NY, amongst this class of workmen.
The men employed here in this work
became Il little restless and the COM
pany agreed to pay them the scale Of
wages demanded at Gloversville until
pay the scale adopted there. At the
close of that strike the lower scale of
wages, making a difference of 612 cents
per dozen. was adopted there but the
company here voluntarily continued to
pay the higher scale. Competition has
become so fierce that it decided some
time ago and so announced to the men
y
be necessary to drop to the Gloversville
scale or stop the cutting of imported
stock. the company claiming that 1t was
cheaper to buy that class of goods
ready made than to continue to inn
port material and pay the higher cut
ting price. The cutters stopped work
the first of this month and still have
the matter under consideration. There
has been no strike" no lock out"
Only foar cutters are really affected. 1t
is simply a question of economizing In
expenses or cutting out one branch Of
the business that can more protltably
be conducted in another way. This
company has been exceptionally free
from any wage trouble with employ
es ever since it was organized About
two years ago the plan was adopted
and announced to the employees that 10
per cent of the net profits annually
would be divided pro rata among them
This rule still holds good.

the young men of Hampton. The lat
sest development is u letter from the
Bachelors Club of Sanborn. The let.
ter which came to the president OF the
club advised them to stand pa and IL
at any time the Sanborn bachelors can
lend Il helping hand they will gladly
do so. The Sanborn Bachelors CLUB
is composed of the young unmarried
men of that city, who. hearing, OF the
predicament in which the Hampton
young ladies found themselves. at once
came to the rescue and offered to give
help. The letter was read at the last
meeting of the Whist Club, and an
answer at once formulated. The con-
tents of the answer are not public but
were evidently of such n nature that
they will gladden. several bachelors
hearts. The advisability of entertain
ing the Sanborn Bachelors Club was
taken up by the young ladies and dis
cussed. A prominent banker of Hamp-
ton has offered to pay the expense OF
orchestra and hail if the young ladies
will give a bail for the Sanborn gem
tlemen. He thinks the young, ladies
are right in their action and will lend
them all assistance possible. SO it is
not improbable that twenty five BACH
elors from Sanborn will be invited to
come to Hampton and become per-
sonally acquainted with the individual
members of the Whist Club here.
