less amicable settlement is reached in
the meantime. All of the men who quit

Union and their difficulties with the
Maine Electric Co. will be one of the
matters to come before the general
meeting of the union which takes place
tonight in harrington block, when 1t is
planned to perfect the union, and elect
permanent officers.
This morning the heads Of the firm
could not be located to explain their
side OF the matter, nor would Super
1ntendent Harry G. Preble make any
statement other than to say that there
was little to be related regarding the
situation. The men on the other hand
had appointed committee to handle
the situation, and one of the employees
IN explaining to newspaper the diff
cultles between the management and
the men said: "One of the men was
discharged last evening by the foreman
on our moor, because he started to re-
move his overalls at two minutes of
1ve, this being the time indicated on
the clock although it was five by the
correct time. When he declined to obev
the order, he was told that he could
leave the shop for good.
When we reported for work This
morning, we were told that the dis
charged man would be re-instated but
that the foreman would not be taken
from the floor as we had requested. II
was then that the men decided to quit
work until the matter could be satis-
factorily Strengthened out.
All of the men connected with the
company today went out with us. even
the clerks, and we expect that the
night crew will join us. The commit
tee appointed this morning, which is
composed of Messrs Bragdon. Watt
Lynch, will bring the matter before the
"4i'o" wien ~ meets tonight to elect
officers
It was learned that the walk-out of
the mon came at bad time as the
company is now engaged in the con-
struction of three pieces of machinery
TO be used in the operations at the
Panama canal and other rush orders
are also under way. Those in the office
of the Maine Electric Co. expressed the
belief that a settlement would be
reached between the mana gement and
men in short space of time. and it
was thought that they would probably
return to work on Thursday at the lat
est.

In general the fortnights delibera-
