MANGHESTER STRIKE Cheney Bros. Plant Affected When 200 Employes of Picker Room Quit, Fearing Reduction in Wages. South Manchester, Conn., July 11.— Picker room employes in the Cheney Brothers’ plant, to the number of 200 today that the management intended to re- duce their wages in proportion to a reduction in the working schedule from ten to nine hours. . This strike will compel the dressing and puller- over departments to shut down. Two weeks ago the company an- nounced that there would be a change in working hours. Yesterday the same men who stopped today, quit work but returned after two hours upon being told that there would be struck because they claimed no cut in wages. About 5,000 persons are employed in the plant. “¥lub” Elevators Silent.

W. Evans, of the New York Central declared he knew of operators, who owned automobiles, tugboats and stores, and who did not wish to be transferred to better pay- ing posts. A. E. Blim, secretary of the Tel graphers’ Brotherhood east of Buffa- lo, and Vincent Marcinkowski, as- sistant station agent for the West Shore, at West Point, told of the troubles of the men. The latter said most of his troubles came from ques- tions of Day Line boat passengers and telephone inquiries. He said that 60 per cent of the 161 men on his divi- sion worked eight hours, the others twelve hours a day. “I get down at 7 o’clock in the morning, and for one solid hour act as janitor,” he said. “Then I open all mail addressed to the station mas- ter. For a half-hour I am a secre- tary, and then there is a train every forty minutes. T sell tickets and am baggage master. The hoat passen- gers with their questions and the in- quiries over the telephone are the great troubles of the day.” Blim said telegraphers on the New York Central and Erie who were also station agents received an average of $68.95 a month. They work about ten hours a day. For this money, he con- tinued, the man must be familiar with freight tariffs, embargoes and ticket traffic, routing and billing freight with correspondence and reports and rul- ings by the Interstate Commerce and Public Service commissions. Asked how, in view of all these duties, he found time to be secretary of his brotherhood, he replied that his wife acted as his secretary, while a woman looked after the house. He said he hired a man to clean the sta- tion and another to do extra work. He sald he received $30 a month as express agent. For the New York Central. Mr. Fvans said: “These one-man station agents ask an average wage increase of 13 per cent. None of them appears to wish to be transferred to other grades that apparently are better paid. These agents do only about one hour telegraphing out of twelve. They don’t work hard or steadily. Most of them receive commissions as baggage agents and many are engaged in oth- er lines of business “One owns a tughoat on the canal, another a cider mill, another a drug store. Several operate farms and automobiles and own houses and lots.” The hearing will be continued to- day. tion lines, LOST—Envelope containing legal documents of no value except to owner.
