when 1T was decided to demand 1925
day for yard men, and a general
advance Of 25 cents a day for workers
in the saw mill, and committee of
ten men was appointed to notify
Manager Mack of the demand, and re-
port to the meeting this afternoon.
When asked about the matter,
Manager Mack said, substantially,
that the time was decidedly inoppor-
tune to ask saw mill to increase
its running expenses; that the Slade
mill had been run at loss for the
past nine months, and was only kept
in operation because the loss was
less than it would cost to close down.
When mill closes it means a certain
cost, and for the past two months at
this mill the losses in operation have
been about the same as it would
cost to shut down, and the manage
ment has been Indifferent as to
whether it ran or closed.
This morning the mill started up
one side, it being double mill, and
appeared to have all the men requir-
ed for its operation.
