Two weeks ago it became reasonably

were going to have one of the husk-

They were prudent railroad man

manager and said to him, according
to the New York Mail:

the railroad president, pugnaciously.
And ten minutes later telegram
went out from his office to the man
who has broken more strikes than any
other in America.
Jim Farley may be in practical re-

beneath his thumb. That same day
there was printed in half hundred

Whitaker Tin

employees WORK UNDER
MUCH DlSADVAN TAGE
Which Keeps Their Output Far
Under That of Similar
Plants.

The employees Of the tin house of the
Whitaker MILL comprising Manchester
Lodge Of the Tin Plate Workers Inter
national Protective Association, went
On strike Saturday. The cause was
the determination Of the management
to reduce the already meagre wages
6f the packers. -Four men were affect
ed by the proposed wage cut, and 100
are out. The strike was only called
after a special meeting when it be-
came known that the company would
not recede from its position.
The Tin Workers agreed to continue
to work under last years scale, instead
of insisting upon an increase, as Is I'M
ivprsally admitted justifiable, in view
Of the great increase in the cost OF
living. But til company, while willing
to continue paying the old scale to the
balance Of the employees in the tin
house, insisted upon reducing the
wages of the packers from 81 per hun
dred boxes to IS cents, making the
claim that this rate was paid in the
Pope plant at Steubenville. 1t was
shown the management that the Pope
rate was really 80 cents, and the COM
pany's demand was amended to chat
flgure. The wdsgssfs agreed to work
for that price providing the conditions
were made the same for them as in
the Pope plant. In the Pope plant the
facilities for getting out the work are
such that at the 80 cent rate packers
can make from So to IS per day, where
as, in the whitaker packing depart
ment the men were limited to $40 per
day, and since the past month, with
