This morning about every one of the

The trouble. IL would appear. has been
to sometime last July. when there came
into the employ of the company an 3s-
sistant superintendent from Boston. This
man, the men say, began a system Of
crowding the men under him till a last
conditions became unbearable and the
move taken this morning was determined
upon
The superintendent in question Il
seems, thought that the men might just

instead of allowing them one hour as
has been the case UP to this time, he de-
cided that those under MIN should have
but half an hour.
This lack OF consideration of the wishes
and the interests OF the men along with
other grievances accommodating since his
advent brought matters 10 such a focus
that on last Saturday afternoon several Of
the men quit work.
This morning the remainder of then
learned OF what had been done and decid
cd to stand by the men with the result
that there are but few OF the men now al
work and these will all cease as soon as
communication has been sent them
The company had employed more thar
so men. the majority OF them being In
this city while some were In Pawtucket
and woonsocket Those out of town were
notified this morning and quit all except
the two in Woonsocket who stated that
they would quit as soon as notified offi-
cially. Among those who have refused IL
work till the grievances are settled are
several of the foremen.
This morning the men assembled in La
Dor Temple to talk over the situation and
about ten o'clock recess was taken e
allow a messenger to communicate with
the officials OF the company. Nothing re-
suited from this communication and the
body decided to appoint a grievance com
mittee to present their case TO the com
pany. When this was done and with some
further discussion OF plans the meeting
adjourned to assemble again at 2.3l
o'clock this afternoon.
This is the first conflict between the
company and the local that can be recall
ed within the past 30 years and the men
regret that they were forced 10 break the
record thus standing.
At the office OF the company nothing
could be learned In relation TO the matter
those in authority being absent. IL Is
thought. however, that the differences
will be settled as soon as the men and
the Officers of the company can meet.
