THE LABOR QUESTION. Strike at Threo Large FurnitureeF'ramo Mantfuctorlen. The framemnkers of this city have struck for an advance of 15 per cent, and three of the larger shops have jocked tholr men out,— Zangerle & Co., Rickey & Co., and Jucahson &Co, hoy employ about 900 men. There are about twenty other factories, employing from ten to fifty men ench, No disorder oc- curred at any of them, nnd the great majority of the men were at work yesterday, but it fs expeeted that tho places of those employers who will not accede to the demand will, be closed to-day. H. 8. Carter & Co, notified thelr employés some days ago that. they would raise thelr wages 10 percent April 1, so this firm has had ho trouble, though It Is likely that he other & per cent will be insisted upon by the men, ‘The cause of the strike is suid to he the recent advance of 15 per cent in wages in CineInnatl, where, however, the cheaper Bruded of goods are made. ‘he cinployers in Chicago say that the addition of 15 per cent here would necessitate an advance in prices which woultl be disastrous, since they. would be unable compete with other cities, ‘They held na meet- Ing ont the Funitire Exchange Inst night and resolved to discharge the men responsible for thestrike, pledging themselves not to give them work he! er; gnu also. declded not to pay the inerense. So there 1s a prospect of a sirlke of some magnitude, as there are nbout 1,000 framemakers in the elty, nearly aif of whom belong to the Union., ‘The men have been recelving on the averagy $2.50 a day, while thelr fellows in Cineinnatt get from $8 to $12 a week. ‘hus far this craft alone is working for higher wages, but it is anticipated that the eabinetmmakers and ninttress men also contemplate taking a hand elther this week or in the near fulure, The reporter called durlng the afternoon at the oflice of Koenlz, Henning & Gamer's factory, Nos, 24 to 2 North Green street, where Ar, Frank F. fenning supplied hint with a statement of the relations at present existing between the manufacturers of fur- niture and their employés. In the first place, Mr, Henning expressed regret that the good feeling which a fews yeurs ago existed he- tween the employer and the employed in this elty was no longer to be found. Then when a question of wages arose between the arties the matter was discussed in a fair and friendly manner and a satisfactory arrangement of tha difference was always effected In_n pleasant way. Now, however, since the ‘Trades-Unions, more or less tnint- ed with Socialism, had obtained control over the workingmen, they had got to look upon thelr employers as their natrral enemies, and the inutual confidence which had made aml- enable adjustments so easy befora heing lost, points at issue could not be settled in the good old way. The present condition of tho furniture-manufacturing business was such that if the mon would only take a fair view of the situation they would at once see how unreasonable any demand on their part for an finmedinte Incronse of wages would be. Lnst fall tho manufacturers, on account of the Incrensed_ price of all materials used in thoir work, cothbined in raising fivlecs 10 per cent. Since then prices had advanced still furthor, so that there was really no profit in manufacturing at the present prices, But the manufacturers cannot just now venture ‘ona further advance In prices on account of the sharp competition from other manufac. turing centres. Tho season had been a dull one, and ii the large manufacturers had large stocks on hand, Under. these cireum- stances it was very: unrensonnple for the workmen to press’ for more pay. It was the intention of tha manufacturers to _nd- vance prices just.a¢ soon as the business out- look warranted It, and, when this was done, thelr employés would receive a correspond- Ing.advanco in their wages, but until then theirdentand would not bo acceded to. Shout tho demand be made and 4 strike ensue in consequence of Its refusal, the strikers would the real sufferers, as the larger manu- {acturers had such Jarge stocks on hand tliat they could close their establishments with- out loss for from two to three months. 3Ir. Henning stated that no definit intimation had been made that the men intended to demand more wages, but that from what he had heard. such action on tial pare was not tin- probable. Tho strike at Zangerle & Co.'s place was in his opinion intended as the ad- ‘vance stroke of ® general policy on the part of the furniture-makers. That fuctory was one in which? the manufactura of” fur- niture-frames| was carried on, og specint branch of the general business which had been. very activa of Inte In putting the screw on here first tho men had carried out the customary polley of strik- ing ut tho woakest point, and using the ad- vantage gained a8 o lover to secure further advan anes elsewhore. In the present condi- tlon of the “furntture-frame. business tho do- mand of 15 Per cent Increase in wages would in all probabijity be compiled with, and this surrender to thelr claims would be used as anargument in support of thelr demands upon floss engaged in fn less profitgble branch of the furniture-making trade, NEGRO REFUGEES. Mrs. Comatock Kelates Hor Experionco Among Thoso in Kunsas. A meoting was called at Fo@well Hall last evening to Hsten to an address by Mrs, Eliza- beth L.
