CLOSE DOWN THE WORKS
Management of Little Giant
Company Took Action This
Morning

Employees of the Little Giant
company, with the exception of those
in the tractor manufacturing plant,
are not at work. They made a
demand for a higher scale of wages
and lower hours at ten o'clock
this morning. 1t is reported that the
men presented written demand for a
scale of increases in the various shops
and departments of the plant on the
basis of ten hours pay for eight
hours work or the union wage scale.
For sometime past it has been
rumored that walkout was planned
unless their schedule was agreed to
by the management. When the men
presented their demand this morning
for the increase it is said that they
were denied the increased scale and
as soon as this became known they
planned to walk out
Manager o. M. Hatcher of the Little
Giant company gave out the folfaS-
ing statement for publication: "The
Little Giant company closed it's plant
at eleven O'Clock this morning for an
exception of the assembling, pattern
making and engineering depart
ments."
Members of the shop committee
stated this afternoon that this morn
ing they handed in a written demand
for the union scale of wages for the
work they were doing. They said
| this scale was for from forty two to
seventy four cents per hour for eight
hours work. At present their scale is
from about thirty cents to forty one
! cents per hour for ten hours work
according to the statement of the
men. The committee gave the com
pany until twelve o'clock to either
accept the demand or see the com
mittee and attempt to arbitrate mat
tiers.
1--WE would have quit during the
afternoon" said the spokesman o.
1 the committee.
| At eleven o'clock all power in thu
plant, according to the committee
was shut off and the men were ad
dressed by Manager o. M. Hatcher
who informed them that the compan,
could not afford to grant the raise o.
the shorter hours.
"He said he would close the plan
for five years sooner than operate a
a loss" stated one of the committee
1t was announced. that the plant wa
closed down for an indefinite period
All the men were let out by this act
Members of the committee expresse,
regret that no effort was made t,
meet with them or to attempt to ar
bitrate the demand in any way.
1--WE want it understood" the,
stated, that we are not wanting to g

work as result of the dispute Mem

CHANCE FOR WOUNDED
Disabled Soldiers Training For Bet
ter Jobs in the Old Trade.

1ISdOicO SoIOIcTS raining fOr BEL
ter Jobs in the Old Trade.
Washington, May 28.-Some men
never realize the opportunities within
their own trades. 1t is the duty of
the vocational advisers of the federal
beard to point out these advantages
to zen who though too severely dis
abled, to return to the same job, may
with additional training prepare
themselves for better place in the old
trade. For instance, a disabled farm
laborer is studying scientific farming,
a tailor who lost leg in the serv-
ice, is preparing himself to be de-
signer, a wounded bricklayer has be-
come an estimator and cost accoun-
tant in construction work at much
better wages. Through their dis
abilities these and other manned sol
diers have realized that with the
training offered by the government
they can fit themselves, as they had
not been able to do before, to work
with their brains as well as with their
hands.
Disabled soldiers interested in ris-
ing to something better in the old
trade or in new one should commun-
icate with the Federal Board for Vo.

held by the police, gave the girls
