Show AT THE SMELTER The Men Quito Generally Respond to the Change of Shifts Down around the smeller there was considerable anxiety yesterday morning morn-ing sborlly before hue lime came for the 7 oclock shift lo go on It had been said the evening before tliul If there was enoujrh men to start this shlfl the strike would be h praclleally over so that when the two furnaces were started instead of but one as on the previous evenings the hopes of those who still remained out went down several more degrees TL bad been said by the management however that unless there were enough men present to lake charge of the furnaces fur-naces al J oclock there would be a Nhuldown Just the same as the smeller smel-ler could not be run by two shifts There seemed to be some doubt about gelling enough men to llll this shift especially when It was considered that Ihe strikers had called a meeting for llarkers I hall I at 1 oclock time Impression Impres-sion prevailing that PO many matters would eome up for discussion that thin men mlglil be detained beyond 3 oclock Indeed il was openly slated by some that lie meeting had been called as much for the purpose of keep lug the men away from the works aa lo discuss ways and means TIlE SHIFT FILLED The 3 oclock whistle announced the change of shifts The men who had rcporled for duly al 7 i oclock in the morning dropped their respective tools of labor which were at once pkk d up by others who were in waiting and there was not a ripple of excitement In ihe transfer Only a few were present pres-ent outside of the smeltermen but among these were several wives and daughters who were anxious to know how matters were progressing and who had come out to ascertain for themselves them-selves rather than await the return of their husbands or fathers Seeing that everything was going on as though tho strike had never been the women took their departure Superintendent Tucker was much gratified when he saw there was to be no trouble over the 3 oelOck shift which was said lo be the most troublesome trouble-some of any We have now all the man that we need at present he said and have postponed the employment of more men until one of the other furnaces are ready for operation which lll I be In a few days TIlE MEETING In the meantime some thirty of lie strikers with diaries Olsen as ehali man and Thomas Ifoofling secretary had gathered In

Graham and Ed Halllday I while I those who still remained were rewarded wllh a few kind words There were those who believed that had the men remained re-mained out twenlyfour hours longer they would have won time fight while others Ihnughl that a still longer time woulJ have been necessary However they expressed Ihu belief that they Wnuld have won In Ihe end hail Ihty tiluek logelher m Ihey had agreed to There was also sortie talk It Is said about forming a union but many did nol believe that t It would In possible Ior one to be ereald whlrh would lake in UI hue I men and If thfel wri not

of Labor went down lo Murray In Ihe afternoon und npent some time wllh the strikers and other mnellcrnicn with the Idea of gelling the views of the employees on the formallon of a union but he was nol

none DISCUSS TIlE FAILURE II I On the Ktrcels of Murrav there was I nothing discussed but the failure and I II It was marvelous to llnd so many iflOit I I who Insisted fhey had predicted hue I I collapse who had btui so confident of I I SUCCCHS only the evening previous j I WIVES OPPOSE STTMKE I II was said by one of the strikers 1 that the wives of the sineltermen had much to I do wllh the decision of many to resume work und It Is well known that many of Ihem were opposed lo the strike from the outset The Interest I manifested by them was Intense Among the business men tin fait that the smeller would not indefinitely closedown close-down was received v lth many inanl festalloiis of approval although t from a selfish motive if from no oilier they i would have been glad lo see the de mands of ihr imn met SOME OF THE REASONS When Ihe I roil tile lirst began ihere wore probably 100 transient snieltcrmcu who diexv m thnlr lime and left Then there were otlieis who were not iden tlllcd with either the company or lie striker Ihey I simply nultllng work wllh I the I Idea of remaining out unlll I the strike was ended Quite I a number of these applied for work ycslordnj and weiv given posllioiis and olheis It is promised will put in I their t applications appli-cations today I TOLD YOU SO Of course 1 am sorry yon boys didnt win said one of the men Avho had not bocn commclcd wllh Ihe strike lo a ctowd on the coiner but didnt t tell you at the time you were talking about a strike that you could not win I know what I am talking about I was in a strike at Leadvlllc once and there was complete organization backed by 1 other unions and money In plenty Ue had money to spend and plenty of food to cat Ye aimed men and put them In every pass leading Into the cam and when they met u man coming along with his blankets on his back and going lo tin smellers why they Just turned him back some Limes pleasantly but of loner otherwise other-wise but even then we failed Now hero you had no leader no oiganiza lion no money I do not believe half llie men fully realised A hat they wcie doing and as u result what have you gota curiosity in the laboring world The Germania strike will go down in history as probably the mily one In whleh 150 men were involved that lasted but eight hours |
