ARBITRATION BOARD REPORTED.
The arbitration board appointed To Hd-
tudicate the trouble between the Provi-
dencc Brewing company one of the MEM
bers of the United Brewery Workers
union, Peter j. Logan. has made n re-
port of it's findings and sustains the
brewerey in its action
The board stated that its decision was
not given AS IL was according to the al
legations OF the company, but by the fact
that the habits of the man were such as
to warrant n discharge.
The trouble arose some time early igst
fall over the action Of the brewery after
it had been attempted by the union to
have the man re-employed, after being
discharged. The company alleged that
Logan was on the premises OF the con-
Germ the first four days OF August IN an
Intoxicated state and the company sus-
tanned the action or th6 treasurer IN DIS
charging him.
MIR Logan protested that he was sick
and he deserved to be reemployed. this
being his due according to the agreement
entared into between the International
Brewery Workers union and tho. com
pany.
IL was thought by the company that
there would be strike of the workmen
10 sustain their fellow member. though
this was not the intention, and the matter
was taken before the courts. Before any
thing was done with the matter there Il
was agreed 20 submit the AFFAIR to
board or arbitration consisting OF NJ ].
Houlihan. \. r. Hohler and Prof Henry
II. Gardiner OF Brown university.
The finding of the board was that the
evidence relative 10 the illness OF tho
man was conflicting and there was
possibility that he was sick at that time.
yet the mans general habits were such
as 10 have warranted the firm In dis
charging him, and accordingly tho action
Of the brewery was sustained,
