Saturday might have been called cred
lie ter" day in town as it witnessed cur first
''strike The Italians working on the
trenches for the water pipes struck for
higher pay and shorter hours. They were
and demanded two hours less a day with
an increase of % cents and to be furnished
with rubber boots. The dissatisfaction was
caused by the arrival of fresh lot of
Italians, who had been led to expect they
were all to be "bosses'' with extra pay, and
men returning Monday forenoon to their
work at the old rates, while the agtators
were discharged and returned to Boston.
The trouble in such cases is not SO much
the wages which are paid by our American
contractors, but IN the way the Italian
working, ignorant countrymen of their
NORTH STOCKTON SPRINGS.
