Thinks decisions Were Fair.

Sporting Editor THE EVENING
JOURNAL: In regard to the howl
made by the people at the basketball
game en- Monday evening over. the de-
cisions OF Referee Maxwell against All
Wilmington. I wish to say that think
his decisions were fair and not partial
TO Brownson. Every game Brownson
has played for the past three seasons
has been with Maxwell as referee and
there has never been any kicking over
his decisions. Maxwell missed many
fouls IN the game on Greenwood and
Hyland. as both of these players got
away without having fouls called upcr
them because of their sickness and
tricky playing. once Greenwood hit
Bradley in the mouth with his elbow.
knocking out two teeth and loosening
four more. Bradley had to call time
and Greenwood handed the ball TO
Hyland and he shot a frll goal Max
we'll and very few of the players saw
this play. l think Wilmington
got the better end of the decisions all
through the game.
Respectfully.

MACHINISTS' STRIKE
STILL UNSETTLED

The tool makers of the Standard Arms
Company who went out Saturday be-
cause their demand for time and half
time pay for Saturday afternoons was
not complied with, are still out.
In explaining the position of the COM
pany, William d. Condit, secretary Of
the concern, said;
1--WE are paying our men the best wages
that can be paid, and If their demands
regarding Saturday afternoon pay were
granted, IT would mean a dead loss to
the company. which we cannot see that
we should make. We treat our men
fairly in every way, and propose to con-
tinue to do So but If there are any OF
them who think they cannot afford to
work for the wages we pay. which equal
that paid for similar work anywhere, We
don't want TO keep them from doing
better The work is exceptionally clean,
as in all departments of arms making.
and we want to get along with our men
amicably. but we must be permitted to
manage our own business in our cwn
way. We maintained our plant for over
year and a half, without earning
penny. during which time the plant. ma
chinery. etc, was in course Of construc-
ton This cost the company over $780,
600. and during all this tome these men
we're given employment at the wages I
have stated, and now they ask us TO pay
an additional rate which would mean
loss TO us We have a long waiting list
OF men, thoroughly competent, who are
anxious to work for US, and who realize
that the treatment accorded men at our
plant is fair in every way. and, II those
who walked out do not want to return
on the regular scale that is their privi-
lege"

team whose manager was the prime
mover of this organization, one who
has been fighting for such an organi-
