Conference at Packer House.

Conference at Packer House.
Grievances of American Smelling
& Refining works strikers were
taken up and the first definite steTs
toward q settlement made, at con-
ference Of committee of five work
ers and General Manager H. H.
Alexander and Director Willard s.
Morse at the Packer house yester-
day afternoon. At the conclusion
the strikers committee seemed sat
isied and one member even ventur-
ed 80 far as to say the night gang
would report for duty today.
1t was known that the A. s. Il
r. officials offered a substantial in
crease, despite the fact one of them
claimed the men would return to
work of their own accord In
week, whether or not they received
an increase in pay. Details were
not given out. but 1t was learned
the bonus system Is to be elimin-
ated and that the laborers were
offered an increase ranging from
to ncents to fifteen cents, but that
most of the men would get only the
ten cent raise. The five members or
the strikers committee appeared
elated over the prospects Of Offering
these figures to the men and
and for time there was every In
dication that the strike would be
declared over at noon today when
a final report was made by the
strikers to the A. S. & r. officials.
All hopes were blasted when the
strikers to a man did not bulge
when those accepting the offers
were asked to remove to the oppo-
site side Of the meeting room dur
ing a session of the strikers there
at 1890 o'clock this morning.

Following the conference yester-
Perth Amboy evening news., 1912-06-17

day Mr.. Alexander said this was
positively the last offer of the COM
pany to the men. He said there
were 500 strike-breakers in readi-
ness to be sent here and If the terms
were not accepted, they would be
brought here and the plant run by
them or closed up as officials deem
ed tit Director Morse declared ap-
proximately 800 men, whom he
classed as good, sober and indus
trious workers approved of the bon
us system and h9 stated about 500
others, whom he classed as lazy
men, did not and those he declared
were the perpetrators of the strike.
Mr.. Morse said the lazy workers
came on duty as they saw fit, work
ing a day and laying off a day as
they desired Such, he declared,
were the only ones that fell behind
through the bonus system.
The bonus system provided that
men working twenty-four days a
month would receive a bonus Of 81;
those working twenty-six days a
month, q bonus of $3.50, and those
working twenty-eight days month,
a bonus of S5. A number of the
strikers have declared the bonus
system as conducted by the A. s. &
r. officials, a detriment rather than
a boon to hard-working laborers.
Labor leaders have also declared 1t
a nuisance because they state A. 8.
& r. officials have been dishonest In
the matter and prevented men from
working a twenty-four day a month
to earn en- additional 81.
Numerous conferences were held
yesterday and this morning, in
which Adt.-Gen. Sadler, Acting
Mayor Garretson, Sheriff Bollsch-
weller and others were called into
consultation and aided in the work
towards a settlement.
