AGENT Who TRIED
TO HIRE STRIKERS
WAS DISAPPOINTED

Wilmington. Del. Dec. "A num-
Der Of agents for machine shops
whose plants are located in other cit.
les were in Wilmington during the
past week. The agents would agree
to pay the men substantial wages and
contract for employment under the
eight hour workday system, but they
were unsuccessful in getting any num-
Der Of men TO sign their contracts or
60 TO work.
When the strike OF the machinists
Was called, nearly eight hundred men
came out on the call. Week by week,
the number Of men on the strike roll
became smaller and smaller. as they
accepted employment in other cities
where employers were willing 10 Ion
slider them as worth living wage.
Employment agents fleked TO Vii
mington TO hire good machinists. The
men were, at first, reluctant to leave
town. but when they saw their for
mer employers could not at that time
see the light. then began leaving in
punches Of five and ten at a time.
The consequence is at this time that
but fortytwo men are now on the
strike roll and these could easily Sc
cure employment could they be spared
from the picket line.
The Report.
How the erroneous reports reached
the outside is not known. but when
the agents arrived in Wilmington,
they soon saw they had been misin-
formed or misdirected. as their efforts
in trying TO secure competent men
were unmarried. One agent en-
deavored TO get ten men from the
forty-two left IN town. and agreed 10
contrac, with them most literally.
While number Of the men consid-
cred his proposition, none accepted,
as particular emphasis was laid on
the situation by the union that the
picket line should be kept up, mean
ing tina, the forty-two men have their
hands full.
Organizer Edward $. Ago remains
in full charge. An official connected
with one of the struck plants made a
statement that Ago got $500 for
every man pulled out on strike and
then got $500 man for sending
them to jobs on, of town. Those
who know Mr. Ago only laugh at
such stories. In fact. the stories make
Mr.. Ago smile. He has heard them
before.
