45O MEN STRIKE At
SPUTDORF PLANT
Demand Recognition of Union.
Firm Member Declares Strik-
ers Won't Be Taken Back.

About four hundred and fifty en-
ployees of the Splitdorf Electrical
Company, of SO Warren street, went
out on a strike today. following the
refusal of the members of the firm
to recognize the newly-organized In
ternational Association of Machinists.
Today's walkout is the third in as
many weeks. The striking employees
held meeting at Walters Hall, 262
Washington street, at which S. r.
Young, general organizer of the union,
read to the men an agreement which
was and will again be submitted 10

ton. The men ask for recognition of
the union wage scale of union prices
for work done and fifty-four-h
week
When seen by an Evening Star re-
porter today, Carlos w. Curtiss, gem
eral manager of the Splitdorf concern,
said:
about 100 men went out on strike
today. Eighty men from the arma-
ture department and about twenty
more from other departments. 1t is
a lie that 450 men are out. Last
week Wnci the Illeii cdii1e Dack TO
work it was with the understanding
that this would be an open shop and
that union and non-union en-
ployees would be treated alike The
pay rolls are already made out ror
the men who went on strike today.
and tomorrow afternoon they can
call for their pay, for we are through
with them, and under no considera-
ton whatever will we take rhem
back. We are through with them
for good and all, and any attempts
made by them to ask for a confer
ence on the matter will be met with
refusal. There have been several ag-
itators among the men employed in
the armature department, and we
have gradually worked them out In
the future the shop will be run as it
has been in the past, and no changes
whatever will be made no matter
what the strikers do"

ing machinists went into session to-
