HORSESHOERS DENY
THEY MADE TROUBLE
Answer Filed to Proceedings of EN-
ployers, Says Strikers, Have Not
Interfered With Work.

Members OF the local Horseshoers'
Union today through their counsel, Leon
Iooriner, denied charges of interfering
with work instituted against them some
time ago by the Moster Horseshoers'
Association.
1t was alleged that since the members
OF the Horseshoers' Union had quit
work, because their demand for an in
crease OF wages was not granted. they
had interfered with them in the conduct
of their business as employing horse
shoers.
The defendants in their answer filed
scday say that when their demand for
an Increase of from So to $3.50 was re-
fused, they simply quit work and in no
way fnterfered with the business of their
employers.
