Hundred More Striko Today. One hundred more of the employes of the North & Judd Manufacturing company walked out on strike this morning joining ‘the number who quit Festerday, and bringing the entire mumber of strikers in the concern to about 70 per cent. of the entire work- . ing force. Practically the entire east side of the factory is affected Wwith no signs of a settlement yet. The latest batch of strikers went out after the revised set of demands ©Of the committee which were inves- tigated by Superintendent Johnson had been taken under his considera- tion. The ‘demands complete are as follows: ~ © “We, the employees at North & Judd Manufacturing Campany all we come to you gentlemen and we wish to ask you as follows for our work- ing people improvement in your fac- tory. 1. We all demand 15 cents ralse - on the dollar. - 2. We all demand 8 hours work per day with ten hours pay. 3. If we should work Saturday aft- érnaon we all demand one and one- and if we should not jork Saturday afternoon we all de- nand payment for Saturday after- on. 4. If we should work over time all'demand one and cne-half time. 5. If piece worker cannot make s day wages by piece work he puld get 'pay by day. .The workers who are laid off £ be returned back to work. We« all demand ' that. company this strike should not discharge Iworkers without the worker's . The company could discharge workmen as follows: If working mlke trouble fight with the workers: or foremen. or he out from work without any rea-- ‘But if the worker obeys his es he should not be' discharged his duties. ' We all demand that the agree- it should be made between com- ;and his working people and by .company "and his working. ‘ people. Committee. ‘“w¥ane Mesting In Turner Hall. Superintendent Johnson addressed the men and advised them to appoint ‘& committee .ta meet’ with’ him and dw the situation. The strikers ted together across the street ’trflq the factory and after parleying [\ for a few moments, they returned afld asked the superintendent to meet urner Hall or some other place and take the matter up. This, Superintendent Johnson, said would be ‘an impossibility as he feared all the m‘n would want to discuss the 1&;" once. He suggested that ittee meet with him at the ; {lmow where he assured them the . door of his office: would always be ‘open to them. Up to this noon he had heard nothing from the men. Demands Termed Impossible. . In digcussing the situation with a reporter Superintendent Johnson said, that the demands as they are pre- sented are impossible. He spoke of the competition that is presented by other western concerns.” For example he cites the ‘demand ror fifteen per cent.- raise and shorter hours whlc}‘ would prove to be excessive to the company. Mr. Johnson said that the laverage pay in the Dpolishing and ‘buffing Toom as present averaged $2:45 a day, and.that the last man to be hired in this department was over 4 year ago, which proved that there must have been satisfaction with the rates ‘until the present fever broke joose. He said girls *in the press room average 16 8-10 cents per hour and that in the japan room girls avgrage 19 2-3 cents an hour. . . Foundry Workers Back- The foundry force which has been out for over a week, returned this morning to work, under an agreement Jwhereby the claims of the men will be acted on individually. Superin- _ tendent Johnson said that despite the | fact that the concern is hampered by the force out on strike, the wheels of the plant will continue to turn. ¥ Annex Moldeers Out Again. {Between forty-five and fifty mold- ers at the 'Corbin Annex went on a steike @again this morning, deelaring that ‘the factory foremen had not kept their word in granting them a promised increase in wages. After much deliberation the moulders, who were on strike last week, Yeturned to work Monday when they were prom- ised an increase. They worked for three days but receiving no satisfac- tion they left again this morning, The spokesman of the strikers stated that . factory officials asked them to work _two weeks more at the old rates un- ‘til a new schedule of price could be. out but they declined to do this. i Workmen Intimidated. Conditions -at ~the Corbin - Screw poration remain practically the e as in the past few days. While . strikers assert that none of the ‘are’ returning, President Glover this afternoon that it was es- d that over 400 are now work- aily. While a reporter was dis- the '8 n with an official strikers hap- he would o to return to work, but threats to Kkill' him,. had kept him away. i would not agree to return to work vntil the trouble is settled. Tales of threats being made to other workmen are frequently heard and one of the prominent officials stated this after- noon that some of the troublemakers had gone so far as to visit the houses of those who refused to join them in an effort to get them to remain away from the factory. The throngs promi- nent during the beginning of ' the trouble ¢ontinue to diminish daily and this noon there was no evidence of any trouble, further than the few people who Wwere passing through the gates into the factory. Striking: Tinners Back, The striking tinners at Landers, Frary & Clark returned to work to- day, without receiving the demands presented to the officlals last week. It was announced today that there is no other trouble at the concern. More Join Union. The ranks of the union machinists ¢ontinue -to_grow daily, according to the leaders of the movement, and at cach of the meetings some men en- roll their names. This morning a largely attended meeting was held in Union hall, at which addresses were made by State Organizers Cedarholm cf Bridgeport, Larkin of Hartford and Silfer:of Springfield. It has been de- cided to have Organizer Cedarholm remain in the city indefinitely. Pickets on duty at the New Britain Machine company report that of the men now working in the concern none are machinists. Molders Back at V. L. W- Operations were resumed today at the foundry of the Vulcan Iron ‘Works, where the entire force went out on strike last week. The officials this morning affirmed the report to this effect. It is said that the offi- clals will treat the demands of the strikers as individuals and not in a collective body. Officers of the con? cern are not too confident that the men will remain at work. Silence At Machine Shop. A reporter wha called at the office of the New Britain Machine company today was unable to gain any definite information as to conditions. In answer to. his query as to how mat- ters staod, he was the recipient of the evasive answer, “Nothlng to say.” ( Mass Meeting Planned. The following 'commuflication was received by the Herald this afternoon: “A mass meeting of employers and emploves will be held at old Turner lLall Saturday evening at 8 o’clock. Mayor George A. Quigley has been in- vited to open the meeting and sevérgl prominent speakers have bden secured to address the gathering. “Committees representing all sides in the present labor difficulties in this city are invited to be present in the ‘hope that a complete understanding of the situation may be reached be- tween all parties concerned as well as for the benefit of the public at large. The meeting is free to the public and a large attendance is- ex- pected.” McGrath on Duty. Special Officer Charles McGrath, who was so badly beaten in last week’s rioting, returned to active work last night, patrolling a beat on Chestnut street near the New Britain Machine company. Has Police Piotection. There was some excitement at the New Britain Machine company at 6 o’clock last night when an em- ployé named Duffy, who, the strikers allege, went out with them and was one of their most ardent supporters and then returned to work at the fac- tery, was rescued from possible vio- lence by the police after the factory officials had escorted him to the Cor~ bin garage. ‘When Duffy came out of the shop he was greeted by the sight of a couple of hundred of strikers walt- ing for him outside. Several of the factory officials took Duffy across the street to a waiting automobile but ,the crowd surged around them so ‘thickly that the police had to in- terfere as a precautionary measure.

Plainville, Sept 80.—According to General Manager *awley the threat- eped strike of spinners in the Plain- ville branch “of the Bristol' Manufac- turing company failed te materialize today, the differences between the employes and. the company having been adjusted at noon. The twenty spinners employed in the mill had presented demands for an increase in the piece work price paid on certain 00ods and had threatened to walk out ast night unless the company acced- ed to their wishes, They were pursuaded to remain at work until noon today pending the return from New York of General Manager Hawley. The latter held a conference with the men this noon and they returned to work when the 1 o’clock whistles were sounded. Mr. Hawley told the Herald that an ad- justment had been mad and there would be no strike. The mill is busy at the present time and a strike of the .spinners would practically cripple the plant.

STEEL CONSUMPTION GREAT IN AMERICA Home Use Increases—Railroads Use Much The Iron Age will say tomorrow: Signs of increasing home consump- tion are plainer as the steel trade enters the last quarter of the year, The upward trend of prices is, if any- thing, more marked, and inquiry ‘for rolled steel for the first quarter of next year is broadening. . The problem of the bar mills in meaking deliveries on home contracts and at the same time meeting the demands for war steel is growing more difficult. A Cleveland company closed this week with the Lackawana Steel company for 35,000 tons of bars, deliveries extending over twenty months. New orders for shell steel are coming out constantly. Addition- al requirements for France that will come to the mills when the present French contracts are finished in Feb- Tuary amount to 300,000 tons. Railroads Busy, Railroad buying is becoming a real factor just as reports of car shortages are coming up in the Middle West. Orders have been placed this week for 4,000 cars, chiefly for the New York Central. From 15,000 to 20,000 cars are under inquiry, including 10,000 for en important trunk line. The New York Central has ordered 120,000 tons of rails for 1916, of which 55,000 tons went to the Illinois Steel company, 55,000 tons to the Lackawanna Steel company and 10,- 600 tons to the Cambria Steel com- pany. The Burlington placed 15,000 tons and the Seaboard Ajr Line 9,000 tons. The September rail bookings of the Steel Corporation have been about 140,000 tons. Canada’s Algoma mill, which has riot been heard from in the domestic rail market in months, has taken the Pere Marquette rail order for 17,000 tons. There wére some special fea- tures in this specification. Canadian steel makers, with large tonnage of profitable war steel crowding upon them, have sought to sublet some of their earlier export contracts in this country. Billets at Premium. Steel billets for rolling and forging are commanding .premiums of $2 to $3 a ton for early delivery. In the Central West forging billets have sold vp to $39, Pittsburg mill. With the scarecity of steel so pronounced, new open-hearth capacity is being rushed to completion, Quite generally the large steel com: panieg have advanced to 1.40c., Pitts- burg, for bars, plates and shapes for this yvear’s delivery, and manufactur- ing consumers are closing for the early months of 1916 on that basis. One Eastern plate mill has put its price at 1.45¢., Pittsburg, Pig-iron buying is not heavy, but sellers are firm in holding for higher prices for 1916 deliveries. This week Huying in mallable and other railroad supply lines hag been more marked. Best eggs, 31c. Russell Bros.—advt, Best coffee, 32¢ 1b. advt. Russell Bros.— RICHTE Represented by E. W. Eddy.
