This Is the First General
Step in Lynn Toward
Wage Reduction

Lynn, Mass, Nov. 29--The shoe
manufacturers of the city to-day made
formal request Of the joint council
United Shoe Workers of America, :or
abolition of the wage bonus OF l2i, to
90 per cent that has been paid for
more than year. This is the first
general step toward reduction of wages
in this city, where normally $1,000 cp-
eratives are employed in 100 factcties
engaged largely in the making OF wom-
ems shoes.
Elimination of the bonus is neces.
sary, according to the manufacturers,
in order to reduce their operating costs
to the point where shops may be re-
opened and run with profit. Trade con-
ditions, they say, have turned orders
for shoes to other cities with lower
rates of pay.
Action on the proposal to abolish the
bonus will take about three weeks rs
