The strike was authorized Saturday afternoon and since then work has been at a stand still. The company’s stand means in ef- fect that there will be no more recog- nition of the boflermakers’ union and that workers will return to Work on rite dividual récognition only. Notices were posted at the refinery today advising the employes of the action and being sel-explanutory, follows in tall; Employes Midwest Refining Co., Casper Refinery, There has. been another: stoppage of work in the boiler “department caused: by Local 696, Boilermakers’ Union, pulling their men off the job on less than a half day’s notice to us, thereby tying up’ work ‘that has been delayed too much already. This has been brought about by their de- mand that we discharge our boiler- maker foreman and our refusing to comply with their demand. Believe you all feel that this company means to deal squarely with all departments. This being the case we are sure that you will agree with us in saying that this walkout on the part of the boiler- makers was a very unfair move on their part. No matter what the srievance, if there was a real griev- ance, it surely could have been set- tled without tying up the work of a whole department and hindering other rtments. Taking all this into consideration, the company has decided, after think ing the situation over very careful- ly, that it would only be a waste of time to try to enter into further ne- gotiations with this organization and that effective June 22, 1920, the boil- ermakers’ department of this refinery will be run “Open Shop" and handled the same as any other department. This does not mean for a few weeks ——. RIENDS STILL INSIST.
