The desire on the part of Trexler and Terrill to cut the wages of th< ir Outside employees from #1.50 tojl :>5 per day caused a shut down at t lie new plant last week. To give weight to statements made by some who speak without author ity is to make tlie outlook appear far from promising for the anticipat ed boom Laporte had prepared for. It has been generally circulated that the Company will bring in a gang of Hungarians to take the strikers' jobs at a much less rate of wages now offered. Some of those who struck have since considered the matter and see the outcome of waring against fate and have decided to re turn to their places for temporary employment. Taking all into con sideration the class of men that will hire for 1.25 and those who draw the line at 1.50 there is big odds in favor of the higher scale for the Com pany's own benefit; a fact to be learn ed later by experience. Supt. James Monroe says the factory will resume work sometime this week. Dushore Item. The Moil roe ton railroad bridge took its monthly tloat down To wamla Creek wiih the freshet Sun day night.
