Bennington Co. Forced to Shut

The underwear factory of the H.
E. Bradford Co. Inc, shut down
Thursday for the first time in Is
years and probably for the first time
in its history, because of a disagree
ment between the management over
wages.
According to the statement made
by General Manager d. B. Keller,
seven knitters sent into the office
a round robin demand for an increase
of Is per cent in wages. The man
ager replied that the company was
not in position to grant the in
crease because the orders on hand
had been taken on the basis Of the
prevailing scale. The knitters insist
ed that they could not live on the
wages they received and left the fac
tory.
An attempt was made to fill the
places of the knitters who had gone
out in order to keep the factory in
operation, but the spinners and wind
ers did not return to- work in the
afternoon and the plant was closed.
The Bradford company is at pres
ent employing 275 men and women
in its departments and it is the only
factory. 1t is said, that it has been
operated continuously during the past
two years. During the slack period
following the signing of the armistice
The plant kept going on full time,

Labor council was waged last night

after heated battle. emerged VIC

ttaining them in control.
The fight began when G.. y. Bar
bour, OF the typographical union. sub
mitted resolution demanding the re-
moval Of L. J. Simeral and J. III. Ar
mold from the Salem mediation
board. The resolution, as 1t read, con-
tended that Simeral and Arnold had
been unfair to the printers in arbi-
trating the recent wage scale for
printers here, and charged Simeral
with double crossing" them.
A vote on the resolution showed
six for and 12 against. thereby sup
porting Simeral and Arnold, or CON
servative faction"
Two weeks ago Fred Seton, labor
representative on the mediation board
resigned. saying that he would not
serve on board with such unfair
men, who were opposed to taking
any real action This is construed BY
conservatives as meaning that Seton
!, was In favor OF radical action. and
seeing that he. would not act "as a
progressive resigned. Clarence g.
Gray was named to serve on the me-
diation board in the place Of Mr. Sef-
ton.
1t Is understood that with the re-
moval of Mr.. Simeral and Mr.. Arnold
from the mediation board a systemat-
ic effort would be made to remove
Mr.. Simeral from the presidency OF
the Central Trades and Labor coun-
eli. thereby placing radicals In full
control.
