bination OF Catholic and Episcopal In the
proposed title We have in substance two
CreedaI words that are in daily use IN

800 EDISON EMPLOYEES
IN SYMPATHY STRIKE
West Orange Officials Say That
Workers Are Misled

Reports that nearly 1000 men had
left the phonograph department Of the
Thomas A. Edison Company, in West
Orange, in a sympathetic strike because
the secretary of their benevolent asso-
citation had been discharged were de-
MED at the plant yesterday.
A representative of the company, in
behalf of c. E. Fairbanks, general man
ager, who is handling the grievance,
said "a few more than 300 men" had
walked out because Of disagreement
between Mr.. Fairbanks and Neil White,
secretary Of the association.
This little labor misunderstanding is
so insignificant" he explained, 1--WE have
not seen ft to bother Mr.. Edison by
informing him Of it. The men who
have quit because White was discharged
have been misled. They have acted
hastily on misleading information.
When they see the matter in the right
light they will undoubtedly return.
Several came back to-day, and we e1-
pect others 20 return tomorrow"
Both isdes agree the question OF
wages and hours does not enter into the
grievance. The men say an objection
able and puerile efficiency system has
been established, and that the difficulty
involving the White dismissal has
arisen out OF 10.
White, the strikers assert, took two
DAYS off 20 celebrate his birthday, and
on mis- return was discharged under an
efficiency rule which automatically dis
misses a man away from work three
DAYS without reporting. As White was
away only two days, officials stated, he
could hardly have been dismissed IN
accordance with that rule.
