Manufacturing company have quit
work because of a change made in
the goods manufactured that preclud-
ed the weavers on this new class of
goods from earning over S1-25 a day,
while other weavers in the same room
on another grade of goods could earn
the regular wages or about $2.25 a DAY.
The claim is made that the rate paid
for the weaving of these goods is en-
tirely inadequate, and that no matter
how expert the workman, or how will
ing to work hard, there is no posi-
bility Of making average wages.

injustice and improve the existing
