MILTON NEWS.

In February a notice appeared in the
Milton Times purportiug to be signed by
the mechanics of Milton, stating that
after March lst their wages would be adj
yanced to $3.50 per day of nine hours
and now-we understand one will
acknowledge the authorship of the no.
tice. We want the mechanics to get all
the wages they can, but we really believe
the men have made their schedule at the
wrong time The condition of mechani
cal work in Milton is now at an ebb. and
the future prospect for work is not prom
ising. Beside, we believe, the mechanics
have made too great a demand at one
time-an advance in wages, aud de-
crease in the hours of labor is too much
at one time, and that time the present.
Employers must have some value received
for the amount paid out, else they will
soon be unable to conduct business at
all. Il must be apparent to an observer
that some men, in any business are worth
more than others, and this should be a
factor in hiring men; but we have known
the reverse to be the case, and often the
inferior men get the best Jobs Possibly
because they are adopts in nursing them.
There is some carpenter work that needs
doing in Milton. We write this on the
authority of the men having the work to
do. And also. as they say, having the
money to pay for it but they do not pur-
pose on having it done at the advanced
schedule in wages and decrease in hours.
Il IS now said that one or two men had
the mentioned notice inserted in the
paper, and want now to get out of it
while others disclaim having anything to
do with it, II such be the case, its pub
hcation has been an injury to the me
ehanics, and the best thing for the me
chanics TO do. is to publish another no
tiee stating what they propose to do.
Until this is done the notice that has been
published stands, and employers are not
going to ask the workmen to take less,
ind a general stagnation is the result, |
simply because each one does not under |
