1000 Men Strike
For Better Wages
And Shorter Hours
TROUBLE BREWING FOR SEVERAL
MONTHS CONES TO HEAD WHEN
MEN WALK OUT; EVERYTHING
QUIET AND ORDERLY

About 1000 phosphate mining OPP
eratiyes in Polk county are idle today
and three large plants are shut down
as the result of failure on the part
of the men and the management of
the mines to arrive at an agreement
as to wages, hours, and other mat
ters under dispute.
For some time there has been dis
satisfaction among the men and the
War Labor Board has been working
to reconcile the existing differences.
When the management of the Tiger
Bay Phosphate Co. declined last
Tuesday to accept the offices OF the
War Labor Board the dissatisfaction
eliminated in strike of about 100
operatives employed by that plant
Today the employees of the Prairie
Pebble Co., at Mulberry and the
Phosphate Mining Co., at Nichols.
Joined in the strike. The number OF
striking employees at each of these
plants is about 400, there being az
this time a much smaller number OF
men employed at all the mines than
under normal conditions.
The operatives are demanding bet
ter pay, shorter hours and improved
working conditions. It is under
stood that the War Board upheld
them in substantially all their
claims, recommending that they be
granted the concessions asked for.
At present our information is thai
the rate of pay averages about s2.6F
a day OF from eleven to twelve hours
Il ia very much to be hoped thai
an amicable adjustment Of the differ
ences may be reached in a short time
as the unemployment Of SO many
men is very much to be deplored anC
the effect will also be felt by railroad
employees, a number of whom are en-
gagged in operating the phosphate
trains.

"The great feature of intrigue has
