tonal brotherhood of Papermakers and
was complete refusal of the demands.
A meeting of the union was called for
last night and was of such manifest I'M
portance that Porters hall, in which it
was held, was filled to overfiowing Mr.
Burke opened the meeting by stating the
demands made upon the company and
read the reply from Mill Manager Joseph
A. Warren and then left the matter open
local for their action.
From that time to the conclusion Of the
meeting the matter was discussed from
all standpoints prominent members of
the union taking part in the discussion,
which became extremely heated at times
Finally it was voted almost unanimously
to indefinitely postpone action on the
proposition of striking
This morning officials of the company
and prominent members Of the local union
expressed qualification with the action
taken by the union last night, the mem
bers of the union saying that they were
especially pleased because the impending
break between the company and it's en-
ployes had been averted, and the compa-
ton that the employees had by their ac-
ton of last evening manifested their con-
fidence in the company and assured
continuance Of the present pleasant rela-
tons.
