And As 4 Result About Forty.
Two We're DISCHARGED

About AZ men were discharged at

difficulty ove- the payment Of wages

Ar order was issued by Superin.
tendent Harry G. Slinglua some days
ago that when payday fell on Sat.
urday, the employees would receive
their full pay the following Monday.
Mr.. Slingluff stated 10 the Banner
that this order was issued for the
reason that when the men were paid
on Saturday number Of them would
be unfit for work on Sunday. In or.
der to avoid this the company decid.
ed to pay on Monday.
The men demanded their money on
Saturday and when the shift quit at
4 o'clock the men said they would not
go 10 work on Sunday Consequently
on Sunday many OF the men failed to
appear at the factory for work On
Monday morning the men appeared
at the factory for their money and
announced If paid that they would go
to work. lhJ
The men were paid, however, but
many of them did not go to work,
for an order was issued by Superin-
tendent slingluff that the ringleaders,
to the number of about forty-two were
discharged. tta
Consequently very few men were
working on Monday rr
MIR. Slinglnff stated to the Banner

will not take them bAfk at the fac
tory. However, .thes iemployes who

ABOUT THE SUMNER COAT

Why is a mans coat in summer
time? Unless he has more than he
can carry In his trousers pocket 1t is
of absolutely no service to him save
in the observance of q custom or con-
ventionality. II 1t we're but customary
to go without coats in summer,
mans costume would be absolutely
complete when he appeared in shirt,
trousers and shoes. As 1t Is. however.
he dare not 60 into first-class hos
telry and attempt to sit at dinner ta-
BILE in that condition. And this IL we'll
enough SO long as coats are part Of .
mans attire.
The argument herein, however. is to
do away with them in the summer
months. Why is that not possible by
concerted action? Does woman ask
man II she may poke her shirtwaist
full of large holes?
A mans coat is q conventionality.
In winter 1t may be necessity, as is
an overcoat and other apparel, but
when the summer sunbeams are re-
minding q proud, stiff collar that 1t
may yet be a dish-rag one OF these
days, . coat is burden to made hu-
manity. The shirt-waist campaign has
been started before and did not get
very far advanced. But why call 1t a
shirtwaist campaign? II q spade
should remain q spade under any and
ell conditions then q shirt should re-
main shirt for the same reason. The
character, or kind Of shirt, is small
er matter. relatively speaking-the
principal, crying need is the elimina-
tion Of the coat in summer time.
The average man is dressed as
warmly in July as the average woman
Is in the coolest winter month. No
man chooses to wear coat. His shirt
may compel him to do SO today. but If
the coat costume we're abolished he
would take care of the shirt feature
on all occasions.
